- 1:03Speaker 2: last days, there have been hours and hours of motions
- 1:08Speaker 2: in court regarding the Brian Walsh murder case. Some of
- 1:12Speaker 2: those motions dealt with DNA results. There's been a delay
- 1:17Speaker 2: in the DNA results because the DNA samples went through
- 1:22Speaker 2: a private lab and there's a hold up over who's
- 1:25Speaker 2: going to pay for that testing. But now all focus
- 1:29Speaker 2: is on Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor, who led
- 1:34Speaker 2: the investigation into the Anna Walsh murder case. Why why
- 1:42Speaker 2: is all the focus on him? Proctor is set to
- 1:45Speaker 2: face a trial board next week due to allegations of
- 1:51Speaker 2: misconduct and the Karen Reid murder case. Proctor was the

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

- 37:18Speaker 11: Eleven fifty six on the first M and all to
- 37:21Speaker 11: detect blood at one oh eight?
- 37:23Speaker 13: What happens when.
- 37:24Speaker 11: You put body pots in a moment at one twenty
- 37:27Speaker 11: one PM is better than throw crime scene close away
- 37:31Speaker 11: or wash them? Those one the general worst?
- 37:35Speaker 2: Okay, guys, just know that while some of these questions

- 38:34Speaker 2: crowns that one.
- 38:34Speaker 13: I don't know. That's a new one to me as

- 38:53Speaker 11: body at one thirteen pm? What is the rate of
- 38:57Speaker 11: decomposition of the body in a plastic bag compared to

- 39:11Speaker 2: Can baking soda make a body? A dead body smell good?
- 39:16Speaker 2: These Google searches have led to a bombshell.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Development in the search for Anna Walch. Bob were joining me?
- 39:24Speaker 1: Boston twenty five News an indictment explain.
- 39:27Speaker 8: Who was indicted on three counts? There was murder, misleading investigators,
- 39:31Speaker 8: and improper disposal of a body. Natcy Can I just
- 39:35Speaker 8: say one thing about the internet searches, and it's one
- 39:37Speaker 8: thing that has just absolutely haunted me when I go
- 39:40Speaker 8: back over this timeline and you realize that there was
- 39:45Speaker 8: a New Year's Eve party, that there were three people
- 39:48Speaker 8: at this party. It was Brian Anna, and they had
- 39:50Speaker 8: one guest in the house, and that guest left the
- 39:53Speaker 8: house somewhere between twelve thirty and one o'clock in the morning.
- 39:59Speaker 8: That first church. How long before a body starts to
- 40:03Speaker 8: smell is at four fifty five am. On A Walsh
- 40:07Speaker 8: was alive at one o'clock in the morning, and at
- 40:09Speaker 8: four fifty five am she's gone and that search is done,
- 40:14Speaker 8: and I just think about that and I think that
- 40:16Speaker 8: she's in the house. They also found we haven't talked
- 40:18Speaker 8: about this in the district court arraignment. They said that
- 40:23Speaker 8: they found blood in the basement and they found I
- 40:26Speaker 8: think it was two bloody knives, one broken bloody knife
- 40:31Speaker 8: in the basement and a heavy smell of ammonia in
- 40:35Speaker 8: the basement of the house. So you know, I'm picturing
- 40:38Speaker 8: in my mind that her body is there in the basement.
- 40:40Speaker 8: He's killed her, and he goes and he finds his
- 40:43Speaker 8: kid's iPad and he's doing these searches within a couple
- 40:46Speaker 8: of hours of his wife being there, someone that he loved,
- 40:50Speaker 8: And this is what he is doing. I had a story,
- 40:54Speaker 8: I broke a story about how he threatened to kill
- 40:58Speaker 8: her back in twenty fourteen. And here he is, in
- 41:01Speaker 8: the first day of twenty twenty three, in the house
- 41:03Speaker 8: with her dead body and he this is she isn't
- 41:07Speaker 8: even cold, and he is already coming up with this
- 41:10Speaker 8: plan on what to do with her remains. I you know,
- 41:13Speaker 8: the depravity of this case. I've been doing this for forty years,
- 41:16Speaker 8: and the depravity of this case to me is really
- 41:19Speaker 8: just off the charts.
- 41:21Speaker 2: The three children, the three little boys, now no mom
- 41:25Speaker 2: and potentially no dad at home either. Not that it matters,
- 41:31Speaker 2: motive never has to be proven in court, but mom,
- 41:34Speaker 2: why why did.
- 41:36Speaker 1: He do this?
- 41:37Speaker 8: There's another There's another detail here too, And from talking
- 41:40Speaker 8: to investigators, the New York Post had this, this picture
- 41:44Speaker 8: you all may have seen, and I talked to an
- 41:47Speaker 8: investigator about this. There was a champagne, a box of
- 41:52Speaker 8: champagne from the party that the New York Post got
- 41:54Speaker 8: a picture of that was that was on the dining
- 41:57Speaker 8: room table. I went knocked on the door or when
- 42:00Speaker 8: before all this blew out, Before everything happened, I was
- 42:03Speaker 8: trying to talk to Brian. I did you know when
- 42:05Speaker 8: she was missing?
- 42:06Speaker 10: And we didn't know what we.
- 42:07Speaker 8: Were getting ourselves into, really really early on, and I
- 42:10Speaker 8: could see inside and the Christmas tree was still set
- 42:12Speaker 8: up and it was still lit. You could see inside.
- 42:15Speaker 8: I didn't see what I'm about to describe to you
- 42:17Speaker 8: because the police hadn't done their search yet. So they
- 42:22Speaker 8: found a bottle of champagne and I was still in
- 42:25Speaker 8: its box, and the New York Post got a picture
- 42:28Speaker 8: of this, and on the side of the box on
- 42:32Speaker 8: a Walsh had written a note to Brian on New
- 42:37Speaker 8: Year's Eve that said, to Brian, we made it through
- 42:39Speaker 8: twenty twenty two. It was a tough year, but twenty
- 42:43Speaker 8: twenty three is going to be a great year. I
- 42:45Speaker 8: love you, Anna, and it had hearts written on it.
- 42:50Speaker 8: And the investigator that I spoke to said they believed
- 42:54Speaker 8: that that was her. Those are her last words to
- 42:58Speaker 8: the world. And when I look at there's another Internet
- 43:02Speaker 8: search here from December twenty seventh. They did not describe
- 43:08Speaker 8: where the Internet search was found, so they didn't say
- 43:10Speaker 8: if it was on the kids iPad or it was
- 43:12Speaker 8: on a phone or a computer. But all it said
- 43:15Speaker 8: was the best state for a divorce for a man.
- 43:18Speaker 8: So that's from December twenty seventh, when Honor still alive,
- 43:22Speaker 8: before the New Year's Eve party. And it makes me
- 43:25Speaker 8: wonder if Anna, if this, whatever happened, whatever happened New
- 43:30Speaker 8: Year's Eve, if Anna never saw this coming just came
- 43:34Speaker 8: out of the blue. I think because the story that
- 43:37Speaker 8: I broke about the threat that she complained back in
- 43:41Speaker 8: twenty fourteen, before they were engaged, they were just dating.
- 43:45Speaker 8: She complained to DC police that he threatened to kill
- 43:49Speaker 8: her in twenty fourteen. I think, and I know investigators
- 43:55Speaker 8: think that this is a domestic violence case and there's
- 43:57Speaker 8: an escalation that started then in twenty eighteen, there's a
- 44:02Speaker 8: selfie picture of her where she's pointing at a bruise
- 44:06Speaker 8: on her face and she said that she walked, she
- 44:09Speaker 8: fell at work or something. It's on one of her
- 44:12Speaker 8: Instagram accounts, and I think there was an escalation of
- 44:15Speaker 8: domestic violence. I don't think the police were ever called,
- 44:18Speaker 8: but something happened was going on behind the scenes, and
- 44:21Speaker 8: this is going to be one of the things that
- 44:23Speaker 8: I'm going to be watching for to try to understand
- 44:26Speaker 8: what happened here and how this exploded, because you don't
- 44:30Speaker 8: you don't get to this kind of and this hatred
- 44:35Speaker 8: to you know, I can understand a moment of passion
- 44:39Speaker 8: of murder of you know, a moment of anger, but
- 44:43Speaker 8: this dismemberment and this depravity that we see here and
- 44:48Speaker 8: these messages that are caught on the iPad and then
- 44:51Speaker 8: what we've been talking about with the disposal of the body,
- 44:54Speaker 8: it's almost too much.
- 44:57Speaker 2: What does the Ana Walsh and murder prosecution have to
- 45:00Speaker 2: to do with the Karen Reid hung jury.
- 45:03Speaker 1: One thing, the.
- 45:04Speaker 2: Lead investigator, Michael Procter, we wait as justice unfolds.
- 45:11Speaker 1: Goodbye friend,
