- 1:22Speaker 2: Can we talk about why? This is what the state
- 1:25Speaker 2: says Brian Walch did to his wife, Anna, the mother
- 1:31Speaker 2: of their little boys.
- 1:32Speaker 3: New Tonight police are asking the public to help them
- 1:34Speaker 3: find a Cohaset, Massachusetts mother of three who vanished without
- 1:38Speaker 3: a trace on New Year's Day. Thirty nine year old
- 1:41Speaker 3: Anna Walsh left her home early Sunday morning. She was
- 1:43Speaker 3: supposed to take a flight from Logan to DC, where
- 1:46Speaker 3: she works during the week, but there's no record of
- 1:48Speaker 3: her ever boarding a flight. Police say there's been reports
- 1:52Speaker 3: that she took a ride share, but investigators haven't been
- 1:54Speaker 3: able to confirm that.
- 1:55Speaker 4: Three days after she was seen leaving her home with
- 1:58Speaker 4: bags in hand, Walsh was reported missing.
- 2:01Speaker 5: We cannot confirm that she actually got into a ride
- 2:04Speaker 5: share in Cohasset. We confurther, we have confirmed with the
- 2:08Speaker 5: A lines and that's been a challenge that she did
- 2:11Speaker 5: not board a plane this week.
- 2:14Speaker 4: Police say her phone has been off and there has
- 2:17Speaker 4: been no activity on her credit or debit cards.
- 2:20Speaker 6: Just a loving wife and mother Dave.
- 2:23Speaker 3: She always says, three beautiful boys, three borutical boys.
- 2:25Speaker 6: So she loves so.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Much too, little boys wondering where is mommy?
- 2:29Speaker 2: You were hearing our friends at wpr I and WUSA, So.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Where's Anna Now?
- 2:38Speaker 2: I had to take that exact flight very often, and
- 2:42Speaker 2: between New York and Boston and DC, it's almost a
- 2:47Speaker 2: triangle of hourly flights with me an all star panel
- 2:51Speaker 2: to make sense of what we know right now.
- 2:52Speaker 1: But first I'm going to go.
- 2:54Speaker 2: To Bob Ward, reporter for Boston twenty five News. You
- 2:57Speaker 2: can find them at Twitter at b war three. Bob,
- 3:01Speaker 2: thank you for being with us. Could you just verbalize
- 3:04Speaker 2: that a little bit better than I did? I mean,
- 3:06Speaker 2: I know, out of in New York, I would very
- 3:09Speaker 2: often have to race from Court TV to get to
- 3:13Speaker 2: the Marine Air terminal at LaGuardia, a different terminal than
- 3:17Speaker 2: the main LaGuardia terminal because they had hourly flights not
- 3:21Speaker 2: only to Atlanta but to DC where I would go
- 3:24Speaker 2: to shoot Larry King. And believe it or not, they
- 3:27Speaker 2: were so regular, almost like a bus. For Pete's sake,
- 3:30Speaker 2: I could be there within two hours of leaving the
- 3:34Speaker 2: studios in Manhattan. It was amazing. But there's so many
- 3:39Speaker 2: flights out of Logan to New York and DC. That's
- 3:43Speaker 2: a lot of investigation to find out if she really
- 3:45Speaker 2: did get on a plane.
- 3:47Speaker 7: Right. But you know, Nanthy, right from the very beginning,
- 3:49Speaker 7: this sounded odd because you're talking this was New Year's Day.
- 3:54Speaker 7: This was first thing in the morning on New Year's Day.
- 3:58Speaker 7: She had a party at her house that went until
- 4:01Speaker 7: about one o'clock in the morning.
- 4:03Speaker 8: New Year's Eve into New Year's Day.
- 4:05Speaker 7: A mother of three who claimed there was an emergency
- 4:09Speaker 7: at her realty firm in Washington, d C.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Okay, we wait, let me, let's start right there. Bob
- 4:15Speaker 2: Ward is joining me from Boston twenty five News. I'm
- 4:18Speaker 2: drinking out of the fireheiser from you, Bob Ward. You're
- 4:20Speaker 2: giving me so much information so quickly. So with the
- 4:23Speaker 2: three children. She was actually working in DC, living in
- 4:29Speaker 2: the Boston area. And what was her job in DC?
- 4:33Speaker 1: Was it a new job?
- 4:34Speaker 7: Was it was a fairly new job. You know, we're
- 4:36Speaker 7: still trying to unpack some of this stuff. But she
- 4:38Speaker 7: had she had a job with an apartment down in
- 4:42Speaker 7: d C.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Okay, but what was her job in DC?
- 4:45Speaker 7: I'm not clear on what her job was. She was
- 4:47Speaker 7: not a realtor, but she was some kind of property manager.
- 4:50Speaker 1: That's it.
- 4:50Speaker 2: That's what it was. Property manager. And hold on just
- 4:53Speaker 2: a moment. We all know about getting a new job,
- 4:57Speaker 2: you feel like you got to do whatever they want
- 5:00Speaker 2: to make that great impression so they don't say, wow,
- 5:05Speaker 2: we've got her on six months probation we're going to
- 5:07Speaker 2: can her.
- 5:07Speaker 1: She's not doing a very good job. I mean, David
- 5:09Speaker 1: Stuttard is with me right now, Guys.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Now I think of David Stutter as a motorman, as
- 5:17Speaker 2: an APD Atlanta Police Department officer, but now he is
- 5:21Speaker 2: a very well known lawyer.
- 5:24Speaker 1: David Stutter. Do you remember your first day on the
- 5:27Speaker 1: job as a cop?
- 5:28Speaker 7: Absolutely?
- 5:28Speaker 9: I do, And it was a long long time ago,
- 5:31Speaker 9: nineteen to eighty eight. And I do remember my first day,
- 5:35Speaker 9: and I was super excited, super enthusiastic and just wanting
- 5:38Speaker 9: to get out and save the world and.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Didn't want to screw anything up and land at some
- 5:42Speaker 2: desk assignment.
- 5:44Speaker 9: That's right. We were on a very strict six month
- 5:47Speaker 9: probationary period when we first started there, and any infraction
- 5:50Speaker 9: would cause you some difficulty right quick. So to your point, absolutely,
- 5:54Speaker 9: I was willing to do whatever I needed to do
- 5:56Speaker 9: to get to that probationary perier.
- 5:58Speaker 2: And then you put yourself through law skill. Can you
- 6:00Speaker 2: remember your first day working as a lawyer? Like, man,
- 6:03Speaker 2: I'm gon unscrew this up. This is nothing like being
- 6:05Speaker 2: a cop.
- 6:06Speaker 9: That's absolutely right, the same sort of feelings.
- 6:08Speaker 1: I mean, Karen.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Stark, you remember you would be with me on the
- 6:11Speaker 2: set at Court TV. Karen Stark is with me, a
- 6:14Speaker 2: renowned psychologists joining us out of the Manhattan jurisdiction. She's
- 6:18Speaker 2: at Karenstark dot com, Karen with the Sea. Karen, you'd
- 6:21Speaker 2: be with me on the set at Court TV, and
- 6:24Speaker 2: my stomach would be churning to figure out if I
- 6:27Speaker 2: can make that flight to get to Larry King's studios
- 6:30Speaker 2: in Washington to get on the air, you know, and
- 6:34Speaker 2: I would make it. I don't think I ever did
- 6:36Speaker 2: not make it. But when you've got a new gig,
- 6:38Speaker 2: you'll do anything. And if they told me, hey, you
- 6:41Speaker 2: got to fly to d C to be on tonight,
- 6:43Speaker 2: I go, sure, I can't wait. Just like this woman,
- 6:47Speaker 2: they go, hey you got to fly down to DC.
- 6:49Speaker 2: We got an emergency. I don't care if it's New
- 6:51Speaker 2: Year's Day, and she would hop that plane. Would you
- 6:54Speaker 2: agree with that?
- 6:55Speaker 10: I would agree with it. Nancy, and I remember those
- 6:57Speaker 10: days like it was yesterday. You were always doing above
- 7:01Speaker 10: and beyond what you needed to do. I used to
- 7:03Speaker 10: watch Jo and Larry King because I couldn't believe that
- 7:07Speaker 10: you would make it, and you always made it.
- 7:09Speaker 1: But what pressure?
- 7:10Speaker 2: Yeah, there were a lot of white knuckles and a
- 7:13Speaker 2: cab trying to get to La Guardian Marine. So we're
- 7:16Speaker 2: hearing from Bob Ward that something wasn't right, But yet
- 7:19Speaker 2: it was a new job, so people talked it off. Well,
- 7:22Speaker 2: you know, she's proving herself. But then things even went
- 7:27Speaker 2: more sideways. Take a listen to our friends at Boston
- 7:30Speaker 2: twenty five.
- 7:31Speaker 11: A Cohasset police log is shedding new light on how
- 7:34Speaker 11: the investigation first got started. It says a call requesting
- 7:37Speaker 11: a well being check was made on January fourth by
- 7:40Speaker 11: a man who identified himself as the head of security
- 7:43Speaker 11: at Honnor Walsh's employer in DC, Tishman Spire. The log
- 7:47Speaker 11: says Tishman Spyer contacted husband Brian Walsh before he reported
- 7:51Speaker 11: his wife missing. It explains that he told police on
- 7:55Speaker 11: a left for DC and he hadn't heard from her since.
- 7:58Speaker 11: According to the log, on his phone last pig on
- 8:01Speaker 11: January second, at three fourteen am in cohacit and hit
- 8:05Speaker 11: the tower on Reservoir Road in Cohacid, less than a
- 8:08Speaker 11: mile from the family's home.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Okay with me.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Very well known PI private investigator Tom Ruskin is with us.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Ruskin is president of CMP Protective and Investigative Group, Inc.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Former NYPD investigator.
- 8:23Speaker 2: And you can find him at cmpdashgroup dot com. Tom Ruskin,
- 8:29Speaker 2: I don't like it when it's your job calling to
- 8:35Speaker 2: report you missing, not your family.
- 8:37Speaker 12: Correct, I mean distinks to the high heavens. It really
- 8:43Speaker 12: does not to mention that it is a lot easier
- 8:47Speaker 12: now than when I join the force before my colleague
- 8:52Speaker 12: in nineteen eighty two, to check flight records, to check
- 8:56Speaker 12: TSA records, to check different airlines. There's only a certain
- 9:00Speaker 12: number of airlines that would fly between her home and Washington, DC,
- 9:06Speaker 12: and it's very easy for the TSA and holy insecurity
- 9:11Speaker 12: to go into those records now and search for her name,
- 9:14Speaker 12: her data, birth and see if she A had a
- 9:17Speaker 12: plane reservation, B did she clear security with all the
- 9:21Speaker 12: cameras that are in airports, and C did she actually
- 9:25Speaker 12: get on the flight?
- 9:26Speaker 2: Can I tell you something, Tom Ruskin, That's an excellent point.
- 9:30Speaker 1: I hadn't even thought of, because I remember.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Going in your life at this stutter, going to the
- 9:36Speaker 2: Greyhound bus station in Inner City Atlantic trying to find
- 9:40Speaker 2: out if a particular woman who always into this day
- 9:44Speaker 2: is still a Jane Dae.
- 9:45Speaker 1: By the way, who's murdered if.
- 9:47Speaker 2: She had gotten off of a Greyhound bus before she
- 9:51Speaker 2: was murdered by whom I believe to be a serial killer.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Don't worry. I got them on one one.
- 9:57Speaker 12: But it was so hard to do to Nancy. You'll
- 10:00Speaker 12: also remember when you ran from Court TV to the
- 10:04Speaker 12: Marine Air terminal at Laguadi Airport. You used to be
- 10:07Speaker 12: able to run through no matinatometers. You'd run on a
- 10:11Speaker 12: Delta flight or People's Express flight or Eastern back then,
- 10:16Speaker 12: and you just jump on the flight with a random
- 10:18Speaker 12: ticket that you could just say any hour. Nowadays, you
- 10:22Speaker 12: can't do that.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Oh no, tsa man.
- 10:26Speaker 2: They got to justify their existence and so they will
- 10:29Speaker 2: do a full on body cavity search if they feel
- 10:32Speaker 2: like it. It doesn't matter who you are. You know
- 10:34Speaker 2: who you get searched the most. My mother going in
- 10:36Speaker 2: with a wheelchair when we push her around the airport,
- 10:39Speaker 2: even though she can walk.
- 10:41Speaker 1: But yeah, they love to hone in on my mom.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Elizabeth that said, you're right, Tom Ruskin, there's only a
- 10:48Speaker 2: couple of air carriers that go between Boston and DC.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace. Don't you just hate it
- 11:07Speaker 1: when people stab you? I mean that could be.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Deadly right Brian Walsh Walsh facing trial for the murder
- 11:15Speaker 2: of his wife and the dismemberment of her body, leaving
- 11:20Speaker 2: behind her little boys to be raised without a mother.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Unlike his wife Anna. He was treated at the hospital
- 11:28Speaker 2: and then released back to the custody of the local jail.
- 11:33Speaker 2: Anna Walsh was not so lucky. The employer is reporting
- 11:38Speaker 2: Anna missing, not her family, but listen to this WBZ.
- 11:42Speaker 13: WBZ is obtained and verified audio of a voicemail left
- 11:46Speaker 13: by mister Walsh for one of Anna's friends the same
- 11:50Speaker 13: day Anna was reported missing to police.
- 11:53Speaker 6: Said Brian Walsh, and hope all is going well. I
- 11:56Speaker 6: was just apreci out to basically everybody I could. Anna
- 11:59Speaker 6: has a in touch for a few days, you know,
- 12:01Speaker 6: anyone that might have that contact with her. Just you
- 12:05Speaker 6: calling everyone. So I've heard to bother you for everything. Fine.
- 12:09Speaker 2: So we do see the husband reaching out to her
- 12:11Speaker 2: friends and leaving voicemails for all of them trying to
- 12:15Speaker 2: find out if they had heard from Anna and joining
- 12:17Speaker 2: me right now. Julie lewis President and CEO of Digital Mountain, Inc.
- 12:23Speaker 1: At Digital Mountain dot com.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Julie, thank you for being with us Tom Ruskin, the
- 12:28Speaker 2: PI points out how much easier it is to check
- 12:33Speaker 2: flight records through TSA and even getting subpoenas very quickly,
- 12:39Speaker 2: or asking the carrier you know, like Delta to check
- 12:42Speaker 2: their records to find out if somebody made a flight.
- 12:46Speaker 2: So according to police, she didn't make that flight. But
- 12:49Speaker 2: what Julie lewis about ride share, lift, Uber and all
- 12:57Speaker 2: the others digitally, wouldn't that leave a trail if she
- 13:02Speaker 2: had taken a ride chair to the airport.
- 13:04Speaker 14: But you can certainly contact the custodian of records at
- 13:08Speaker 14: the ubers the lists and types of companies that she
- 13:11Speaker 14: would have taken a ride share and find out that
- 13:13Speaker 14: information with legal due process and see what you know,
- 13:21Speaker 14: what the actual fact pattern is there?
- 13:23Speaker 2: Well, what about her phone? I mean most people get
- 13:27Speaker 2: their right chair through their phone app.
- 13:29Speaker 9: If you have access to her yes.
- 13:31Speaker 15: If you have access to her phone, you knew the
- 13:34Speaker 15: whereabouts of that phone. You would have access to.
- 13:38Speaker 14: The app, but most of that data would be stored
- 13:41Speaker 14: in the cloud and pointing up to the Uber application.
- 13:46Speaker 15: Uh not, it might not be stored on the local phone.
- 13:48Speaker 14: So that's something to consider.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Got a question for you, Julie Lewis, if we don't
- 13:53Speaker 2: have her phone, but we do have her coach say
- 13:58Speaker 2: it like everybody else in America their birthday or their
- 14:02Speaker 2: children's birthday, and we have the code for her phone,
- 14:06Speaker 2: can we get into the iCloud that way?
- 14:09Speaker 15: Typically you would need the user name, you would need.
- 14:13Speaker 14: A password for the accounts, and you would also if
- 14:17Speaker 14: they have Multifacturer authentication turned on the code from the
- 14:23Speaker 14: text message.
- 14:24Speaker 1: So a little harder than I thought.
- 14:25Speaker 2: But you know what we're talking about, her phone and
- 14:27Speaker 2: where she Where is the husband during all of this?
- 14:30Speaker 2: Take a listener Our cut thirty five, Lynn Bi Lund talking.
- 14:36Speaker 16: If I need to indicating on January first, at three pm,
- 14:40Speaker 16: we did some memorans and which was not his house
- 14:43Speaker 16: and swamps but but lost because he didn't have his phone.
- 14:47Speaker 16: He said, you know, he was lost when he saw
- 14:48Speaker 16: a pirate ship one root one defenders stayed, stayed fifteen minutes,
- 14:53Speaker 16: then went to Whole Foods and CBS. Savannahs has checked
- 14:56Speaker 16: and he did not enter either with those stores.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Okay.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Bob Ward, Boston twenty five on this the disappearance of
- 15:04Speaker 2: Anna Walsh since the beginning saw a pirate ship en
- 15:09Speaker 2: route one what Okay, no, wait a.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Minute, wait, wait, wait, So he says.
- 15:15Speaker 2: The husband says he's going to visit his mother and
- 15:19Speaker 2: he gets lost on the way to his mom's home,
- 15:24Speaker 2: and when he sees a pirate ship, he knows he's lost,
- 15:28Speaker 2: but then it goes into Whole Foods and CBS even
- 15:31Speaker 2: though he's lost.
- 15:32Speaker 7: What the pirate ship is a landmark on the rout
- 15:35Speaker 7: one area. There's that area of Swampskip where his mother lives.
- 15:40Speaker 7: There are some old landmarks, miniature golf places, restaurants, that
- 15:44Speaker 7: sort of thing. And I think that's what it was
- 15:47Speaker 7: that he's talking about, was a landmark that he saw
- 15:50Speaker 7: that told him where he was. And he said he
- 15:53Speaker 7: got lost because he didn't have a GPS on his
- 15:55Speaker 7: phone with him because he's elected at home.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Karen Starry, I find that very unused.
- 16:01Speaker 2: I've told that my twins is like the wizards and
- 16:04Speaker 2: their wands and Harry Potter, you don't go anywhere without it.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Why doesn't make sense to me he didn't have a
- 16:10Speaker 2: cell phone, especially if he hasn't hear from his wife.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Wouldn't you keep your cell phone with you at that
- 16:17Speaker 2: time in case she called?
- 16:18Speaker 10: Well, let's think about this.
- 16:20Speaker 14: Nancy.
- 16:20Speaker 10: How many people really leave home these days without their phone.
- 16:25Speaker 1: It's it's improbable.
- 16:27Speaker 10: I have trouble believing that he accidentally left at home
- 16:32Speaker 10: and he knows that he's being watched. It seems to
- 16:35Speaker 10: me so he intentionally left that phone home. I have
- 16:41Speaker 10: no doubt about it. He's the nefarious character. He knows
- 16:44Speaker 10: exactly what he's doing.
- 16:46Speaker 2: In the search for Anna Walsh, local authorities find something
- 16:53Speaker 2: very unusual.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Take a listener to our cut forty.
- 16:56Speaker 16: Data from the phone also practice We're boats on January through.
- 17:00Speaker 16: It locations were traveled at foot twenty seven on January
- 17:05Speaker 16: through to an apartment complex in Abington. So Veillance shows
- 17:09Speaker 16: the dependant's bobbo as well as male fitting the dependent's
- 17:12Speaker 16: appearance Exeter.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Cab near the dumpster.
- 17:14Speaker 16: He walks to the dumpster carrying in garbage bag he's
- 17:18Speaker 16: leaning and it appears to be heavy as he has
- 17:21Speaker 16: to keft it into the dumpster.
- 17:24Speaker 1: He walks to the dumpster with the.
- 17:26Speaker 16: Garbage bag and leaves it on full.
- 17:29Speaker 9: Forty eight.
- 17:30Speaker 16: He hit another complex in Abington and at five ten pm,
- 17:33Speaker 16: cell phone shows records at another apartment in Brockton. Video
- 17:38Speaker 16: shows a party consistent with his appearance and his Bobbo
- 17:43Speaker 16: again he decided items in the dumpster, Bob Warren joining
- 17:47Speaker 16: us from Boston twenty five on his disappearance.
- 17:51Speaker 2: From the very beginning, I don't have a problem with
- 17:54Speaker 2: my husband throwing trash out there in the dumpster outside
- 17:57Speaker 2: our house. But it starts going from one dumpster to
- 18:01Speaker 2: the next dumpster, to the next dumpster to the next dumpster,
- 18:05Speaker 2: all in within a one hour period.
- 18:08Speaker 1: That concerns me.
- 18:09Speaker 2: And you know who reminds me of and you're gonna
- 18:11Speaker 2: know this name very well. Jennifer Dulo's the missing Connecticut
- 18:15Speaker 2: mom of five. Remember for her husband Fotus Dillos and
- 18:20Speaker 2: his mistress, they're going all around town dropping off items
- 18:26Speaker 2: and they're caught on surveillance video. Why is it, Bob,
- 18:30Speaker 2: or maybe you can shed some light on this. Why
- 18:32Speaker 2: is it that when a woman goes missing, her husband
- 18:34Speaker 2: suddenly turns into a knee nick and he has to
- 18:37Speaker 2: throw out the trash.
- 18:38Speaker 7: Good question, Nanty, I think we know the answer to that.
- 18:41Speaker 7: And that's the allegation here that the sadly that January
- 18:44Speaker 7: third incident that you just played the cut from the
- 18:48Speaker 7: dumpsters in the south Shore and Abington and Brockton. What
- 18:52Speaker 7: we're going to find out in court, that is, when
- 18:55Speaker 7: the remains of on a wallsh are being discarded in
- 18:58Speaker 7: those dumpsters, those dumpsters eventually are brought to an incinerator
- 19:03Speaker 7: in the south shore of Massachusetts, and within an hour
- 19:07Speaker 7: of those dumpsters being brought to that incinerator, they're destroyed.
- 19:11Speaker 7: Anna Walsh's remains have never been located, and the thought
- 19:15Speaker 7: is that they never will be because that's where those
- 19:17Speaker 7: bags were brought. The other trash bags that were recovered
- 19:22Speaker 7: in this case were brought to the north shore near
- 19:25Speaker 7: that pirate ship that we just talked about, and they
- 19:27Speaker 7: were not brought to an incinerator, but to a landfill
- 19:30Speaker 7: they were found and it's inside I don't know from
- 19:33Speaker 7: getting ahead of us, but inside those trash bags is
- 19:36Speaker 7: where the evidence, the incriminating evidence has been located in
- 19:40Speaker 7: this case.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Bob Ward, could you tell me everything you just said
- 19:46Speaker 2: one more time in very slowly?
- 19:49Speaker 8: Sure?
- 19:50Speaker 2: I think the gist is that very quickly after husband
- 19:56Speaker 2: Brian Walch visited these various dumpsters, the dumpsters were cleaned
- 20:02Speaker 2: out where the trash was picked up and taken some
- 20:05Speaker 2: to an incinerator and some to the pirate ship. Wait wait, wait, wait, wait,
- 20:09Speaker 2: hold on, wait a minute, Wait a minute, Karen Stark,
- 20:12Speaker 2: have you ever noticed how defendants weave in a tiny
- 20:17Speaker 2: bit of truth into their big fat lie the pirate ship.
- 20:21Speaker 10: I mean, that's what makes pathological liars so interesting, Nancy
- 20:24Speaker 10: is because it's usually based on a hint of truth, right,
- 20:29Speaker 10: like no smoke without fire. There's a little bit of smoke,
- 20:32Speaker 10: but the rest of it they conjure up. And they're
- 20:36Speaker 10: very adept at being able to tell a lie that
- 20:40Speaker 10: has a little bit of truth in it but a
- 20:41Speaker 10: lot of falsehood.
- 20:43Speaker 1: I like the very abused conjure.
- 20:45Speaker 2: I like a magician or a wizard, because one moment
- 20:49Speaker 2: on a Walsh is there with witnesses at a New
- 20:53Speaker 2: Year's Eve party, and the next moment she's gone. Brian
- 20:57Speaker 2: Walsh was stab behind bars, but he lived his wife,
- 21:03Speaker 2: His beautiful young wife, the only one working in supporting
- 21:06Speaker 2: the family, was not so lucky. A week after her disappear,
- 21:11Speaker 2: as prosecutors say, investigators find blood, bloody, a bloody and
- 21:15Speaker 2: damaged knife in the basement, strongly believing he disposed of
- 21:21Speaker 2: her body near his own mother's home. Did I mention
- 21:26Speaker 2: he had a two point seven million dollar life insurance
- 21:29Speaker 2: policy with him as a soul beneficiary. What else do
- 21:34Speaker 2: we know? Bob Ward joining me, investigative reporter of Boston
- 21:38Speaker 2: twenty five, tell me again what you just said?
- 21:41Speaker 5: So.
- 21:41Speaker 7: On January third, Brian Walsh, according to the prosecutors, is
- 21:46Speaker 7: recorded on surveillance trying to dump trash bags into dumpsters
- 21:53Speaker 7: in the south Shore of Boston in the towns of
- 21:55Speaker 7: Abington and Brockton. The prosecution believes that those trash bags
- 22:01Speaker 7: that he was struggling with to get into the dumpsters
- 22:04Speaker 7: contained the dismembered remains of his wife.
- 22:07Speaker 8: On a w wash.
- 22:09Speaker 7: Shortly after he did that, those dumpsters were brought to
- 22:13Speaker 7: an incinerator in the south Shore. Within an hour of
- 22:18Speaker 7: those trash bags arriving at that incinerator, they were incinerated
- 22:24Speaker 7: and converted into electricity, and Walsh's remains have never been found.
- 22:32Speaker 7: It's an absolutely horrific and gruesome part of this case.
- 22:36Speaker 7: The other half of it is that Brian Walsh did
- 22:38Speaker 7: not allegedly did not discard of all the evidence in
- 22:42Speaker 7: the case on the south Shore. The allegation is that
- 22:45Speaker 7: he took his tools, the instruments that he used to
- 22:49Speaker 7: dismember his wife's body along with some of her clothes
- 22:52Speaker 7: and belongings, and put them in other trash bags and
- 22:55Speaker 7: discarded those things in dumpsters on the north shore of
- 22:59Speaker 7: Boston his mother's house near that pirate ship. Those trash
- 23:04Speaker 7: bags have been recovered and those items are going to
- 23:08Speaker 7: be an important part of this case, in this trial
- 23:11Speaker 7: when it takes place.
- 23:12Speaker 2: And what do you believe Bob Ward were in those
- 23:16Speaker 2: trash bags in January?
- 23:18Speaker 7: What we've been told was that they found a hatchet,
- 23:20Speaker 7: a hack saw, They found a bloody rug, they found
- 23:24Speaker 7: Anna's product purse, they found the boots that she was
- 23:28Speaker 7: seen wearing at that New Year's Eve party, and Nancy,
- 23:31Speaker 7: they found her COVID nineteen card. It's absolutely stunning what
- 23:36Speaker 7: they found.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Joining me former APD Atlanta Police Department officer.
- 23:42Speaker 1: And now lawyer, what rank did you get to? Started?
- 23:47Speaker 9: I left, there's an investigator. Nantell's a homicide detective and
- 23:50Speaker 9: I left.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Okay, David, have you ever had a case without a body,
- 23:55Speaker 2: a homicide.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Without a body, Yes, I had. Can I just say
- 23:59Speaker 1: that a tough pill to swallow?
- 24:02Speaker 9: It is, but fortunately even in those cases and this guy, look,
- 24:08Speaker 9: you know, as a homicide detective. I would have been
- 24:10Speaker 9: looking at this guy immediately simply based on the fact
- 24:12Speaker 9: that his wife gets on an airplane. She's apparently overdue,
- 24:16Speaker 9: he hasn't heard from her in three days. Only after
- 24:20Speaker 9: he is contacted by her employer does he make an
- 24:22Speaker 9: outcry about his wife. That'll. I mean, my wife gets
- 24:25Speaker 9: on an airplane, she travels frequently. If I haven't heard
- 24:28Speaker 9: from her a few minutes after she's supposed to touch down,
- 24:31Speaker 9: I get frank. I mean, I'm calling every you know,
- 24:33Speaker 9: trying to call her and call her. This guy has
- 24:36Speaker 9: done nothing, but he's like a magnet for suspicion. I mean,
- 24:40Speaker 9: he's going out, he's talking about this pirate ship, you know,
- 24:43Speaker 9: and not to mention all of this physical evidence that's located,
- 24:45Speaker 9: which to my point is, you know, even the most
- 24:49Speaker 9: careful criminals, when they commit these kinds of crimes, it's
- 24:53Speaker 9: almost impossible to do it without leaving some sort of
- 24:58Speaker 9: forensic physical evidence behind. And this guy has left a
- 25:02Speaker 9: mountain of it.
- 25:03Speaker 1: I mean, it could you.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Here's another thing, Julie Lewis, I'm gonna circle back to
- 25:10Speaker 2: you just a moment about possible nav systems on his car,
- 25:14Speaker 2: but Tom Ruskin joining me, then, don't want Karen start
- 25:17Speaker 2: to weigh in on this as well. Tom Ruskin, guy's
- 25:19Speaker 2: private investigator or extraordinary President of CMP Protective and Investigative Group,
- 25:25Speaker 2: Tom listen, I don't like jewelry. I really don't like
- 25:30Speaker 2: fancy clothes. I don't like fancy cars. But if you
- 25:35Speaker 2: were to take let's just say, this little ring right here,
- 25:40Speaker 2: this is made of my mother in law's jewelry. Okay,
- 25:45Speaker 2: it's very thin, it's not be jeweled, but if you
- 25:49Speaker 2: were to take that, I would come after you.
- 25:52Speaker 1: All right. There are just some things that would matter
- 25:56Speaker 1: to me.
- 25:57Speaker 2: And I've got a funny feeling this woman would not
- 26:00Speaker 2: want her to fancy boots and her proud of hers
- 26:03Speaker 2: thrown out.
- 26:04Speaker 12: No, and it would be weird if she had left
- 26:09Speaker 12: and left for a business trip, if she didn't take
- 26:12Speaker 12: those with her, that they wouldn't be behind in the
- 26:15Speaker 12: house and be discoverable. This guy is definitely the prime suspect,
- 26:20Speaker 12: and probably we'll be convicted at trial. The fact of
- 26:24Speaker 12: the matter is, to the other gentleman's point, you don't
- 26:27Speaker 12: need a body anymore to prove a case.
- 26:29Speaker 2: It sure helps, though, man, Come on, Ruskin, I mean, yeah,
- 26:33Speaker 2: you don't need a body. I'm not going to give
- 26:35Speaker 2: him a gold star for getting rid of the body.
- 26:37Speaker 2: And again, he hasn't been proven guilty. We're just hypothesizing
- 26:42Speaker 2: on the evidence that we have. But it's sure as
- 26:45Speaker 2: heck helps if you.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Do have a dead body to prove a murder case.
- 26:48Speaker 12: But it also goes against him because we know that
- 26:51Speaker 12: he was in these yards, he was dumping stuff. What
- 26:54Speaker 12: is he doing dumping her garbage? What's the matter? His
- 26:58Speaker 12: pickup's not working at his house?
- 27:00Speaker 2: And start he's so right, And Karen, again, I threw
- 27:05Speaker 2: this to Stuttard earlier, I think, but why do guys
- 27:09Speaker 2: turn into neat nicks as soon as their wives disappear?
- 27:12Speaker 2: And again, like Stutdard said, and like Ruskin is saying
- 27:16Speaker 2: about the trash, it defies the course of normal human conduct.
- 27:21Speaker 2: He doesn't check on his wife to see if she landed.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Her employer has to call looking for her. And then
- 27:27Speaker 2: he wants to take out the trash. Fine, do it
- 27:29Speaker 2: at the corner at the end of the driveway or
- 27:31Speaker 2: the trash ute in your apartment in Manhattan, But why
- 27:33Speaker 2: do you go to five or six different dumpsters? And
- 27:36Speaker 2: because somebody just surprised me once and not throw bloody
- 27:39Speaker 2: rags and towels in a dumpster.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Do something different.
- 27:42Speaker 10: What always happens, Nancy. He believes he's not going to
- 27:45Speaker 10: get caught, and this looks suspicious, so suspicious. I mean,
- 27:49Speaker 10: he gets lost going to his mother.
- 27:52Speaker 1: He didn't get lost.
- 27:54Speaker 2: He's trying to explain his circuitous route from one dump
- 27:57Speaker 2: to the next.
- 27:58Speaker 10: And also saying that he went to places where they
- 28:02Speaker 10: could check and he did not go.
- 28:04Speaker 12: So, Nancy, can I jump in for one sec. Yes,
- 28:07Speaker 12: I just want to bring well, to bring up the
- 28:09Speaker 12: fact this is a woman. Let's assume that the husband
- 28:15Speaker 12: has nothing to do with her murder. This is a
- 28:17Speaker 12: woman who's going to take a flight, supposedly from Boston
- 28:21Speaker 12: to Washington on business trip. Why is her phone off?
- 28:25Speaker 12: No one that travels, myself, my loved ones, my family. Well,
- 28:29Speaker 12: we go to the airport, you shut off your phone
- 28:32Speaker 12: once you're on the flight, and you turn it on
- 28:35Speaker 12: to mister Startdard's point once you land. Why is she
- 28:39Speaker 12: becoming a low a suddensereptitious or becoming covert in her actions?
- 28:45Speaker 12: Which sort of defies the logic of the husband.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Tom Ruskin private investigator. You're absolutely right. I mean, I
- 28:52Speaker 2: don't guess any of you people on this panel have
- 28:54Speaker 2: read Don't be a Victim written by what's that girl's name, Oh,
- 28:58Speaker 2: Nancy Grace. You're suppose to take a picture of when
- 29:02Speaker 2: you're in the parking deck, which I do and send
- 29:04Speaker 2: in my family, and then when I get them on
- 29:06Speaker 2: the plane, I take a picture I'm on the plane
- 29:09Speaker 2: and send to them. You don't even have to write
- 29:11Speaker 2: a text or write words, but just let people know
- 29:14Speaker 2: where you're going.
- 29:16Speaker 1: JACKI I think I've even sent them to you before. Yes,
- 29:18Speaker 1: I have. Okay, guys, that's not the end of it.
- 29:22Speaker 2: But I want to ask Julie Louis Something, President and
- 29:24Speaker 2: CEO of Digital Mountain, Inc. Julie, what about I like
- 29:30Speaker 2: to just say on Star as a blanket nav description,
- 29:36Speaker 2: wouldn't his car show everywhere he had been if it were,
- 29:39Speaker 2: you know, anything older than twenty ten?
- 29:42Speaker 15: So before I jump into that, I just you were
- 29:44Speaker 15: talking about pictures, and there was.
- 29:46Speaker 14: Supposedly a picture she photographed of herself with her wedding
- 29:49Speaker 14: ring off in some of her final photos, and so
- 29:54Speaker 14: within that picture there's things called excess data that you
- 29:57Speaker 14: can look for that potentially could have g location information
- 30:01Speaker 14: about where she was when the picture was taken.
- 30:03Speaker 1: See that is why you're the expert. I didn't even
- 30:06Speaker 1: catch that, Julie Lewis so.
- 30:08Speaker 14: Switching gears to the car. You know, the car is
- 30:12Speaker 14: a moving computer these days on most cars. With why
- 30:16Speaker 14: fuy has GPS, it has a cell network, all these things.
- 30:22Speaker 15: That you can use for tracking.
- 30:24Speaker 14: So if Brian's car has has that in it, law
- 30:28Speaker 14: enforcement could have certainly.
- 30:30Speaker 15: Used that information.
- 30:31Speaker 14: The other thing that happens in cars is a lot
- 30:33Speaker 14: of people think their phones and so text messages, contacts,
- 30:40Speaker 14: you know, browser history, all these things may be on
- 30:43Speaker 14: that on the car now. You know, for example, if
- 30:47Speaker 14: you rent.
- 30:47Speaker 15: A car, even that information can be on that.
- 30:50Speaker 14: So that's something that's really important to note.
- 30:53Speaker 2: You mean, when you charge your phone in a car,
- 30:57Speaker 2: the car can track everything that you have written on
- 31:00Speaker 2: your phone during that time.
- 31:01Speaker 15: It could be thinking like when you are in a
- 31:04Speaker 15: uber your playlist. Depending on the configuration, it could actually
- 31:09Speaker 15: down on that. So you don't want to go in
- 31:10Speaker 15: some strangers car rental car.
- 31:13Speaker 14: And plug it in because the car and fountainment system
- 31:17Speaker 14: could be grabbing and capturing some information from your phone.
- 31:20Speaker 1: Good to know crime stories with Nancy Grace. Why was
- 31:33Speaker 1: Brian Walsh stabbed?
- 31:35Speaker 2: We know that the inmates in that facility have access
- 31:38Speaker 2: to television. There are of course iPads, so many of
- 31:43Speaker 2: them know what he is accused of doing to his
- 31:46Speaker 2: beautiful wife, who, by the way, was the only one
- 31:49Speaker 2: working in the family. His Google searches were damning. I mean,
- 31:54Speaker 2: what an idiot. I just can't stress this enough. Take
- 31:58Speaker 2: a listen to our cut thirty six This is Land
- 32:01Speaker 2: Bilan talking on.
- 32:02Speaker 16: January first, defenitive googled using.
- 32:06Speaker 1: A son's iPad. Some of his searches are as follows.
- 32:10Speaker 16: Keep in mind that the dependant said he left at
- 32:13Speaker 16: sixty six am. At four fifty five am on January first,
- 32:18Speaker 16: he searched how long before a body starts to smell?
- 32:22Speaker 2: How long before a body starts to smell? Okay, keep going?
- 32:28Speaker 13: Eight am?
- 32:29Speaker 16: How to stop a body from decomposing?
- 32:32Speaker 13: At five twenty am.
- 32:33Speaker 16: He searched how to mount the body At five forty
- 32:37Speaker 16: seven am. Ten ways to dispose of a dead body
- 32:42Speaker 16: if you really need to. At six twenty five am
- 32:46Speaker 16: on the first, how long for someone to be missing
- 32:48Speaker 16: to inherit? At six thirty four am on first, can
- 32:52Speaker 16: the go away body pots?
- 32:54Speaker 2: Okay, I think we need Doctor Kendall Crowns, Chief Medical
- 32:59Speaker 2: examin Or, Terrant County Lecturer, University, Texas Austin and Texas
- 33:04Speaker 2: Christian University Medical School. Doctor Kendall Crowns, thank you for
- 33:09Speaker 2: being with us. Let me just ask you a couple
- 33:11Speaker 2: days and I'd like to point out also, this is
- 33:13Speaker 2: food for thought for you. Karen Stark, psychologist on his
- 33:18Speaker 2: son's iPad.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Like they don't know how to read the.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Search history and there's daddy searching. How long before a
- 33:28Speaker 2: body starts to smell? How do you stop a body
- 33:32Speaker 2: from decomposing? How to get rid of a body? Ten
- 33:35Speaker 2: ways to dispose of a dead body if you really
- 33:38Speaker 2: need to. I'm glad he had to tack that on
- 33:40Speaker 2: at the end. How long before? How long for someone
- 33:44Speaker 2: to be missing to inherit? That's not for you, Crowns.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Can you throw away body parts? Okay? I'm starting to
- 33:53Speaker 2: agree with Tom Ruskin and David Stutter that you don't
- 33:56Speaker 2: really need the dead body to prove that someone is dead.
- 34:00Speaker 2: Doctor Kendall Crowns, can you give me some quick answers
- 34:03Speaker 2: to those This is a lightning round for you, how
- 34:05Speaker 2: long before a body starts to smell, doctor Crowns?
- 34:08Speaker 9: For ten days?
- 34:09Speaker 1: That just rolled off the tip of your tongue.
- 34:10Speaker 2: I'm not going to ask why how do you stop
- 34:13Speaker 2: a body from decomposing?
- 34:15Speaker 8: Refrigeration? I mean, you look at it. That guy they
- 34:18Speaker 8: found in the iceberg ot to see the iceman. He
- 34:23Speaker 8: was missing for a thousand years and he's stuck in
- 34:26Speaker 8: the iceberg. So really, refrigeration is the best way to
- 34:29Speaker 8: prevent a body from decomposing.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Ten ways to dispose of a dead body if you
- 34:34Speaker 2: really need to.
- 34:34Speaker 1: That's not a medical question. Let me go to the
- 34:36Speaker 1: next medical question. Can you throw away body parts?
- 34:40Speaker 8: You have to, you know, if you don't want the
- 34:43Speaker 8: trash man to notice some potamon dumpsters like which was
- 34:46Speaker 8: possibly done in this case, and then dismember the individual
- 34:51Speaker 8: and just small enough parts that they aren't recognizable as
- 34:55Speaker 8: human and then mix them in with other trash, and
- 35:00Speaker 8: then other good way is to put them in. I
- 35:02Speaker 8: think it's like these pool chemicals that can melt the
- 35:05Speaker 8: body parts down into kind of a slug.
- 35:08Speaker 2: You know, Doctor Kendall Crowns, you're actually Nancy scaring many
- 35:12Speaker 2: people that are listening to you right now putting it
- 35:14Speaker 2: in pool. Wait a minute, Karen start, I know you've
- 35:16Speaker 2: got something toad.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Hold on.
- 35:18Speaker 2: What did you say about pool cleaner, Doctor Kendall Crowns.
- 35:21Speaker 8: There's a certain chemical they use. I believe it's in
- 35:24Speaker 8: pool cleaning or something else. I can't think of it
- 35:27Speaker 8: off the top of my head. But it'll actually dissolve
- 35:30Speaker 8: the dismembered body parts down relatively and it'll dissolve the
- 35:35Speaker 8: bone as well, and it'll just kind of make this
- 35:37Speaker 8: kind of ooze. Then you have to dispose of that.
- 35:40Speaker 2: I'm glad you're on the right side of the law,
- 35:42Speaker 2: doctor Kendall Crowns.
- 35:43Speaker 1: I really am. But guess what, guys, there's more.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Take a listen again to lend Biland at nine twenty
- 35:50Speaker 2: nine AM.
- 35:51Speaker 1: What does from Aldeheide do?

- 36:26Speaker 16: scene close away?
- 36:28Speaker 9: Or wash them?
- 36:29Speaker 1: Those one the general worst?
- 36:32Speaker 2: Okay, guys, just know that while some of these questions
- 36:35Speaker 2: are so rudimentary, they are cruel and horrible. And three
- 36:43Speaker 2: little boys are left without their mother while this guy
- 36:48Speaker 2: is googling what does for meldehide do? How long does
- 36:51Speaker 2: DNA last? Can an ID be made on partial remains? Dismemberment?
- 36:56Speaker 2: And best ways to dispose of a body? What happens
- 37:00Speaker 2: when you put body parts in ammonia? Should you throw

- 37:42Speaker 16: One can ry third. That same day at one o
- 37:45Speaker 16: two pm, you did some more Google searches. What happens
- 37:49Speaker 16: to hear on a dead body at one thirteen pm?
- 37:53Speaker 16: What is the rate of decomposition of the body found
- 37:56Speaker 16: in a plastic bag compared to on a service in
- 38:00Speaker 16: the woods at one pm?
- 38:02Speaker 1: And beating soda mask?
- 38:05Speaker 2: Well, maybe he is not good Ken baking soda make
- 38:09Speaker 2: a body a dead body smell good. These Google searches
- 38:14Speaker 2: have led to a bombshell development in the search for
- 38:18Speaker 2: Anna Walch. Bob Were Joining Me Boston twenty five News
- 38:22Speaker 2: and indictment explain.
- 38:24Speaker 7: He was indicted on three counts. There was murder, misleading investigators,
- 38:28Speaker 7: and improper disposal of a body. So his case is
- 38:31Speaker 7: being moved up from district court to Superior court. Superior
- 38:35Speaker 7: Court has the authority if he is when he has
- 38:38Speaker 7: tried and he's found guilty on first agree murder, to
- 38:42Speaker 7: hold him if he is convicted on first degree murder
- 38:46Speaker 7: for life not for all, which is the maximum sentence
- 38:49Speaker 7: here in Massachusetts. There is no death penalty. In Massachusetts. Naty,
- 38:53Speaker 7: Can I just say one thing about the internet searches,
- 38:55Speaker 7: and it's one thing that has just absolutely haunted me
- 38:58Speaker 7: when I go back over this timeline and you realize
- 39:02Speaker 7: that there was a New Year's Eve party, that there
- 39:05Speaker 7: were three people at this party. There was Brian Anna,
- 39:08Speaker 7: and they had one guest in the house, and that
- 39:11Speaker 7: guest left the house somewhere between twelve thirty and one
- 39:15Speaker 7: o'clock in the morning. That first search how long before
- 39:20Speaker 7: a body starts to smell is at four fifty five
- 39:23Speaker 7: am on a wall. She was alive at one o'clock
- 39:27Speaker 7: in the morning, and at four fifty five am she's gone,
- 39:31Speaker 7: and that search is done, and I just think about that,
- 39:34Speaker 7: and I think that she's in the house. They also
- 39:36Speaker 7: found we haven't talked about this in the district court arraignment.
- 39:41Speaker 7: They said that they found blood in the basement and
- 39:44Speaker 7: they found I think it was two bloody knives, one
- 39:48Speaker 7: broken bloody knife in the basement and a heavy smell
- 39:52Speaker 7: of ammonia in the basement of the house. So you know,
- 39:56Speaker 7: I'm picturing in my mind that her body is there
- 39:58Speaker 7: in the basement. He's killed her, and he goes and
- 40:01Speaker 7: he finds his kids iPad and he's doing these searches
- 40:04Speaker 7: within a couple of hours of his wife being there,
- 40:07Speaker 7: someone that he loved, and this is what he is doing.
- 40:12Speaker 7: I had a story, I broke a story about how
- 40:15Speaker 7: he threatened to kill her back in twenty fourteen. And
- 40:18Speaker 7: here he is in the first day of twenty twenty three,
- 40:21Speaker 7: in the house with her dead body and this is
- 40:26Speaker 7: she isn't even cold, and he is already coming up
- 40:29Speaker 7: with this plan on what to do with her remains.
- 40:31Speaker 7: You know, the depravity of this case. I've been doing
- 40:34Speaker 7: this for forty years, and the depravity of this case
- 40:36Speaker 7: to me is really just off the charts.
- 40:39Speaker 2: The three children, the three little boys, now no mom
- 40:44Speaker 2: and potentially no dad at home either. Not that it matters,
- 40:50Speaker 2: motive never has to be proven in court, but mom,
- 40:53Speaker 2: why why did he do this?
- 40:55Speaker 7: There's another detail here too, And from talking to investigators,
- 41:00Speaker 7: The New York Post had this, this picture you all
- 41:03Speaker 7: may have seen, and I talked to an investigator about this.
- 41:08Speaker 7: There was a champagne, a box of champagne from the
- 41:12Speaker 7: party that the New York Post got a picture of.
- 41:14Speaker 7: That was that was on the dining room table. I
- 41:17Speaker 7: went knocked on the door. When before all this blew out,
- 41:20Speaker 7: before everything happened, I was trying to talk to Brian.
- 41:23Speaker 7: I did you know when she was missing?
- 41:25Speaker 9: And we didn't know what we.
- 41:25Speaker 7: Were getting ourselves into, really really early on, and I
- 41:29Speaker 7: could see inside and the Christmas tree was still set
- 41:31Speaker 7: up and it was still lit. You could see inside.
- 41:34Speaker 7: I didn't see what I'm about to describe to you
- 41:36Speaker 7: because the police hadn't done their search yet. So they
- 41:40Speaker 7: found a bottle of champagne and I was still in
- 41:44Speaker 7: its box, and the New York Post got a picture
- 41:47Speaker 7: of this, and on the side of the box on
- 41:51Speaker 7: a Walsh had written a note to Brian on New
- 41:55Speaker 7: Year's Eve that said, to Brian, we made it through.
- 41:58Speaker 7: Twenty twenty two was a tough year, but twenty twenty
- 42:02Speaker 7: three is going to be a great year. I love you, Anna,
- 42:05Speaker 7: and it had hearts written on it. And the investigator
- 42:11Speaker 7: that I spoke to said they believed that that was her.
- 42:14Speaker 7: Those are her last words to the world. And when
- 42:18Speaker 7: I look at there's another Internet search here from December
- 42:22Speaker 7: twenty seventh. They did not describe where the Internet search
- 42:28Speaker 7: was found, so they didn't say if it was on
- 42:30Speaker 7: the kids iPad or it was on a phone or
- 42:31Speaker 7: a computer, but all it said was the best state
- 42:35Speaker 7: for a divorce for a man. So that's from December
- 42:38Speaker 7: twenty seventh, when Honor still alive, before the New Year's
- 42:41Speaker 7: Eve party. And it makes me wonder if Anna, if this,
- 42:46Speaker 7: whatever happened, whatever happened New Year's Eve, if Anna never
- 42:50Speaker 7: saw this coming, just came out of the blue. I
- 42:54Speaker 7: think because the story that I broke about the threat
- 42:58Speaker 7: that she complained back in twenty fourteen, before they were engaged,
- 43:03Speaker 7: they were just dating. She complained to DC police that
- 43:06Speaker 7: he threatened to kill her in twenty fourteen, I think,
- 43:12Speaker 7: and I know investigators think that this is a domestic
- 43:15Speaker 7: violence case and there's an escalation that started then in
- 43:19Speaker 7: twenty eighteen, there's a selfie picture of her where she's
- 43:24Speaker 7: pointing at a bruise on her face and she said
- 43:27Speaker 7: that she walked, she fell at work or something. It's
- 43:30Speaker 7: on one of her Instagram accounts, and I think there
- 43:33Speaker 7: was an escalation of domestic violence. I don't think the
- 43:36Speaker 7: police were ever called, but something happened was going on
- 43:39Speaker 7: behind the scenes, and this is going to be one
- 43:41Speaker 7: of the things that I'm going to be watching for
- 43:43Speaker 7: to try to understand what happened here and how this exploded,
- 43:47Speaker 7: because you don't, you don't get to this kind of
- 43:52Speaker 7: and this hatred to you know, I can understand a
- 43:57Speaker 7: moment of passion, of murder, of a moment of anger,
- 44:02Speaker 7: but this dismemberment and this depravity that we see here,
- 44:06Speaker 7: and these messages that are caught on the iPad, and
- 44:09Speaker 7: then what we've been talking about with the disposal of
- 44:12Speaker 7: the body, it's almost too much.
- 44:16Speaker 2: Do you blame the inmates for being angry with Brian Walsh?
- 44:22Speaker 2: We wait as justice unfolds. Nancy Grace signing off, good
- 44:29Speaker 2: bye friend,
