On December 2, 2025, the Brian Walshe trial over the alleged murder of his wife Ana focused heavily on disturbing digital evidence and gaps in his story. Prosecutors highlighted testimony from a state police trooper about early-morning January 1, 2023 searches on Walshe’s devices for body disposal methods, cleaning up blood, and references to the “trash bag killer,” along with related queries synced to his son’s iPad that Walshe denied knowing about in later police interviews.

A Cohasset police sergeant testified there was no forensic link tying Walshe to Ana’s alleged affair messages, but items like her boots, coat, and COVID card were recovered from dumpsters Walshe was seen using.
