Brian Walshe Trial: Why Even a ‘Dirty Cop' Can't Save You From Your Own Google Searches-WEEK IN REVIEW As the October 20th trial date approaches, the case against Brian Walshe—the Massachusetts father accused of murdering and dismembering his wife, Ana Walshe—has become one of the most closely watched legal battles in the state. And it's not just the shocking allegations at stake. The defense is trying to pull the shadow of another high‑profile case—the Karen Read investigation—straight into this courtroom. In this episode, we break down how Walshe's attorneys are arguing that Norfolk County is too tainted for a fair trial. They're pointing to the now‑famous misconduct of former State Trooper Michael Proctor, who was removed from the Read case after crude, biased texts surfaced. Their message to the court: if the system was “dirty” there, it can't be trusted here. But prosecutors say the Walshe case stands on its own—and the evidence they're about to put in front of a jury may prove it. We examine the digital footprint investigators say Brian Walshe left in the hours and days after Ana disappeared: chilling Google searches about body disposal, decomposition, and whether you can be charged without a body. We look at the physical evidence pulled from a Swampscott dumpster—items prosecutors say carry Ana's DNA, including a rug, jewelry, and a watch photographed on her wrist just hours before she vanished. This is where modern crime meets modern accountability: when your own clicks, purchases, and discarded objects become the star witnesses against you. In this episode, we unpack why the defense's “crooked cop” strategy may falter in the face of independent, forensic evidence—and what this case tells us about how juries weigh misconduct claims against hard data. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #KarenRead #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #DigitalForensics #LegalStrategy #CrimeAndJustice #HiddenKillers #CourtroomDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Speranza: Poems by Jane Wilde (Liverpool UP, 2025) by Dr. Eibhear Walshe and Dr. Eleanor Fitzsimons is the first contemporary edition of the poetry of Jane Wilde, née Elgee, who also wrote as Speranza. Speranza was, in her time, renowned worldwide, with essays, poetry and translated work published in Ireland, England, America and beyond. She was a key figure in the nationalist Young Ireland movement of the 1840s, and her poetry records the hardship experienced by the Irish people - famine and migration in particular. She was also an early advocate for women's rights, who campaigned for the admission of women to higher education. This edition, which contains several previously unpublished poems, will make the poetry of this emblematic figure in nineteenth-century Irish writing accessible to a contemporary audience for the first time. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Brian Walshe's CHILLING Google Search History Revealed (Full List) A killer's smartest tool is also his biggest liability: the internet. In this stunning final segment, the Hidden Killers team reveals the most damning evidence against Brian Walshe—his own Google search history. In the hours and days after murdering his wife Ana, Brian used their son's iPad to meticulously research how to cover his tracks. The hosts read the horrifying, timeline-stamped list of his queries, including: "how long before a body starts to smell," "hacksaw best tool to dismember," and the bizarrely chilling, "can baking soda make a body smell good?" This digital footprint created an undeniable roadmap of his actions, leading directly to his shopping trip at Home Depot for tarps, a saw, and cleaning supplies. The discussion also uncovers a shocking crossover with another high-profile Massachusetts case: the lead detective initially assigned to the Walshe murder was none other than Michael Proctor, the controversial investigator from the Karen Read trial. We explain how Walshe's defense team tried to leverage the Proctor scandal to get crucial evidence dismissed, a move that could have jeopardized the entire case. This is a fascinating look at how modern technology can both build an airtight case and how legal gymnastics can threaten to tear it all down.

Brian Walshe: The Anatomy of An Alleged Narcissistic Killer From one case of hidden horror to another, the show transitions to the tragic murder of Ana Walshe at the hands of her husband, Brian Walshe. This segment meticulously pieces together the final days of their unraveling marriage. Ana, a successful real estate executive, was ready to leave. Brian, a convicted art fraudster on house arrest, was watching his world collapse. We delve into Brian Walshe's shocking history of manipulation and deceit, from selling fake Andy Warhol paintings to being explicitly disinherited by his neurosurgeon father, who called him "dishonest" in his will. The hosts explore the complex and toxic psychology of the Walshe relationship. Why did Ana stay for so long? Using the "frog in the boiling pot" analogy, Stacy Cole explains how abuse can escalate so gradually that the victim doesn't realize the danger until it's too late. The discussion also highlights the bizarre family dynamics, including the allegation that Brian's own mother hired a private investigator to tail Ana, seemingly more concerned with her daughter-in-law's rumored affair than her own son's criminal behavior. This is a deep dive into the anatomy of a narcissistic mindset and the catastrophic breakdown of a marriage that ended in murder.

We explain how Walshe's defense team tried to leverage the Proctor scandal to get crucial evidence dismissed, a move that could have jeopardized the entire case. This is a fascinating look at how modern technology can both build an airtight case and how legal gymnastics can threaten to tear it all down.

The crimes that Brian Walshe is accused of committing in the disappearance and alleged murder of his wife, Ana Walshe, have been well documented. But what about the man Brian is outside of the murder case? That's what Boston Magazine contributing editor Wyndham Lewis set out to uncover when he began his investigation into Walshe over two years ago, who he learned had an active social life in the Boston restaurant scene, and was known for throwing lavish and expensive dinner parties. Lewis joins our show for the first episode of season 2, revealing new insights into the lives of the Walshes and also how he was able to uncover so much of their past.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/dpvMV9XQhOs Obtaining a federal download of Former Trooper Michael Proctor's phone data is sought by attorneys for multiple defendants in Norfolk County murder cases because it may contain exculpatory evidence. However, Proctor's lawyer claims nothing exculpatory exists outside the federal materials, partly because Proctor got a new phone in February 2024, potentially wiping earlier data. The problem is that the state police and Norfolk DA cannot directly extract this data; they must get it from the feds, who rejected requests for discovery from other prosecutions but turned it over in the Karen Read case. In the Karen Read case, the federal discovery was turned over, but it came with a federal protective order prohibiting its use in other cases. This creates a "boot loop" or "procedural quagmire" because Assistant District Attorney McLaughlin, who worked on the Read case, is aware of potentially exculpatory and impeachment information regarding lead investigator Former Trooper Proctor contained within these federal materials. Under Rule 14, McLaughlin is obligated to disclose the existence of such information to the defense in other cases (like the Walshe case), but the federal protective order prevents the office from physically turning over or even reviewing this material for exculpatory content. This forces the defense to argue for potentially exculpatory evidence they cannot see or definitively prove.

In 2023, prosecutors assembled a highly detailed and damning body of evidence against Brian Walshe in support of the charge that he murdered his wife, Ana Walshe. The centerpiece of the case was a chilling series of internet searches conducted on his son's iPad, including queries like “how to dispose of a body,” “how long before a body starts to smell,” “how to clean blood from a wooden floor,” and “dismemberment and best ways to dispose of a body.” These searches were conducted around the time Ana went missing and suggested not only forethought, but a deliberate attempt to plan and execute a cover-up. Brian Walshe initially told police that Ana had left early for a business trip, but his search history painted a vastly different picture—one of someone actively researching how to eliminate a human body just hours after his wife was last seen.Beyond the digital trail, the forensic and physical evidence added serious weight to the case. Trash bags recovered from a transfer station contained blood-stained items such as towels, rags, a Tyvek suit, rubber gloves, a hacksaw, a hatchet, and a necklace believed to belong to Ana. DNA testing confirmed the presence of both Ana's and Brian's DNA on multiple items. Surveillance footage captured a man resembling Walshe discarding trash bags into dumpsters, and cellphone data placed him near the locations where those items were dumped. Investigators also discovered blood in the basement of the family's home, along with a damaged knife and cleaning supplies. A trip to Home Depot, where Brian purchased mops, buckets, tarps, and other cleaning materials shortly after Ana's disappearance, further bolstered the prosecution's theory of premeditated murder and attempted evidence destruction. Taken together, the evidence formed a coherent and devastating narrative that Ana Walshe was murdered in her home, dismembered, and disposed of in a calculated attempt to erase all traces of the crime.(commercial at 8:46)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Brian Walshe: Prosecutors detail extensive evidence in killing of Ana Walshe.

During Jacinda Ardern's historic run as Prime Minister of New Zealand from 2017 - 2023, she became a worldwide phenomenon and icon of the Left. From the pandemic to a horrific mass shooting in NZ, Jacinda faced a series of major crises, as well as a media crush that followed her everywhere. But during those tumultuous times, one thing remained unknown: what was it like for the person at the center of these events to experience all that — and, simultaneously, being a new mother as well? In Michelle Walshe and Lindsay Utz's enthralling documentary “Prime Minister,” we now get to hear from the former PM herself.   Michelle and Lindsay join Ken on the pod to describe what it was like to embark on this journey of self-reflection with Jacinda Ardern. Relying on a combination of intimate home movie footage shot by Jacinda's husband, news clips and original material, the two directors put us right back in the middle of these events, as well as offer Jacinda's insightful perceptive on what it means to her now and where to go from here.   “Prime Minister” is in theatrical release by Magnolia Pictures.   Hidden Gem: Lindsay: “Time” Michelle: “Navalny”, “The Jinx”   Follow: @utzies26 on Instagram and @Lindsay_utz on X @shellfishes on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X    The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

Chuck Todd reflects on his recent conversation with Steve Bannon and proposes his theory for what Donald Trump and his MAGA movement's populism is really tapping into not just in America, but as a global phenomenon. Chuck says that the Democrats have an opportunity to position themselves as an opposition party that taps into the American populace's skepticism of concentrated power, and that if the current Democratic leadership isn't equipped to navigate the moment, they could set themselves up to get steamrolled by Trumpism the same way that the George Bush and Mitt Romney wing of the Republican Party did. Chuck goes on to look at some of the races he's most excited for in 2026.Chuck Todd welcomes filmmakers Lindsay Utz and Michelle Walshe to discuss their documentary "Prime Minister," an intimate portrait of former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's extraordinary leadership during some of the most challenging moments in recent history. The film, built around Ardern's personal audio diaries that weren't meant to be released until after her death, chronicles her navigation through three defining crises: the Christchurch shooting, the COVID-19 pandemic, and giving birth while in office. The filmmakers had unprecedented access to Ardern, capturing her reflections on leading a nation through tragedy and global upheaval, while New Zealand became the first country to eradicate COVID-19 through decisive leadership and strong public health measures. The conversation explores the broader themes of the documentary, including the misogynistic backlash Ardern faced both for her COVID response and her decision to ban semi-automatic weapons after Christchurch. Utz and Walshe discuss the challenge of misinformation during the pandemic, the export of American political mistrust to other democracies, and how Ardern's millennial confidence shaped her leadership style. Despite her international popularity, the filmmakers reveal that Ardern has sworn off politics forever, making this documentary a crucial historical record of her tenure. The film serves as both a case study in crisis leadership and an inspiration for young women considering political careers, showcasing how Ardern became a global role model while navigating the unique pressures facing female leaders in the modern political landscape. Finally, he addresses listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment!00:00 Introduction03:50 Steve Bannon's theory about Trump & the global populist movement06:10 Why Trump's character is a distraction for Democrats08:10 Democrats' advantage as an outsider party10:45 New Jersey gubernatorial race14:30 Democratic Senate candidates popping up in Iowa18:30 Minnesota Senate Democratic primary20:45 New candidate alert in Georgia!23:00 Louisiana getting rid of runoffs?24:10 Mark Green stepping down in Tennesee29:30 Lindsay Utz and Michelle Walshe join the Chuck Toddcast!30:30 What was the origin story of their documentary “Prime Minister” 31:30 How often did they have access to Jacinda Ardern? 32:50 Ardern's audio diaries weren't supposed to be released until she died 34:00 Ardern showed extraordinary leadership after the Christchurch shooting 35:30 Adrern's story wasn't local and could resonate worldwide 37:30 Was Ardern surprised when reflecting on her diaries? 38:30 Ardern had to lead through 2 crises 39:30 The tentpoles of the documentary are Covid, Christchurch and giving birth in office 42:30 Great responsibility to get the story right due to historic nature 44:30 Was Arden's book coordinated with the release of the documentary? 45:30 What was the hardest thing to leave out? 47:30 New Zealand's great response to Covid relied on strong leadership 49:30 New Zealand was the first country to eradicate Covid 51:00 Citizens of every country blamed their leaders for Covid 52:30 Misinformation was a huge problem during Covid 53:30 Was there an anti-vax community in NZ prior to Covid? 54:45 Was the widespread mistrust in the American government exported to NZ? 55:45 Ardern received terrible misogynistic blowback from the public 56:30 Was the backlash worse for Covid or for banning semiautomic weapons? 59:40 Ardern swears she'll never go into politics again 1:02:30 Is Ardern more popular outside of New Zealand? 1:03:45 What do you hope a young female politician takes away from “Prime Minister”? 1:05:15 Was Ardern's confidence a byproduct of being a millennial? 1:07:45 Ardern was a great role model for young women 1:08:30 Do they have another project planned in the future? 1:11:40 Where can people see “Prime Minister”?1:14:00 Ask Chuck!

Michael Proctor's Career of Alleged Cover-Ups In Memoriam Michael Proctor had everything a cop could want—respect, power, and a reputation that, for years, seemed untouchable. But by March 2025, he wasn't just out of a job—he was a liability. Fired. Disgraced. Publicly humiliated in a way few law enforcement officers ever are. And it all comes back to one thing: the way he handled the Karen Read case. Or rather, how spectacularly he mishandled it. Proctor's downfall wasn't a quick and clean dismissal. This wasn't one of those “effective immediately” situations where a cop gets caught doing something catastrophic and is gone by the next morning. No, this was a slow-motion train wreck. A case study in watching someone who thought they were untouchable get tangled in their own arrogance, their own bias, and their own mistakes. It started with a mistrial in July 2024—a high-profile, publicly scrutinized moment where Proctor didn't just look bad on the stand, he became the story. His testimony wasn't just shaky; it was an unmitigated disaster. Prosecutors must have known it was coming because the moment his text messages came out, it was game over. These weren't just any texts. Proctor, the lead investigator in the Karen Read case, the man responsible for gathering evidence and ensuring a fair and unbiased investigation, repeatedly called the defendant a "wack-job ct," openly mocked her, laughed about digging through her phone for nude photos, and, in one of the most damning moments, said he hoped she would kill herself.** Think about that for a second. The guy responsible for finding out what actually happened had already made up his mind before the investigation even started. And he wasn't keeping that bias to himself—he was texting it to people. Joking about it. Making it impossible to argue that he had conducted an objective investigation. And that wasn't even the worst of it. Proctor had undisclosed personal connections to key people involved in the case. His own sister was friends with members of the Albert family—the same family that owned the house where John O'Keefe was last seen alive. His family knew them socially. And yet, he never disclosed this. He took the case, took control of the evidence, and built a case against Karen Read while having direct ties to the very people who could have been alternative suspects. Then there was the taillight evidence. The prosecution's whole theory hinged on the idea that Karen Read backed into John O'Keefe with her SUV, breaking her taillight and leaving him outside to die in the snow. But the glass fragments that allegedly proved this theory didn't make it to the crime lab for six weeks. Six weeks. And guess who was in charge of that evidence? Michael Proctor. When asked about the delay, there was no good answer. No chain of custody explanation that made sense. No reasonable justification for why a critical piece of forensic evidence in a high-profile murder case sat around for over a month before it was analyzed. The defense didn't even need to prove that the evidence had been planted—they just had to point out how incompetent and sloppy the investigation was. And Proctor had done all of their work for them. The mistrial was a disaster. But the fallout was worse. Within hours of the decision, Proctor was suspended. That was the first clue that even his own department knew he was a problem. The Massachusetts State Police don't just throw their own under the bus. It takes serious misconduct for them to cut someone loose. And by this point, they had no choice. Because once Proctor went down, he took a whole lot of other cases with him. One of the first dominoes to fall? The Ana Walshe murder trial. This was another major case where Proctor had been deeply involved—investigating the disappearance and presumed murder of Walshe by her husband, Brian. But after the Read mistrial, prosecutors dropped Proctor from their witness list. They weren't even willing to put him on the stand. Think about what that means. Prosecutors, who normally go to great lengths to protect their investigators, decided it was better to move forward without their lead detective rather than risk having him testify. Then came the defense attorneys lining up to challenge other convictions. Proctor had worked on multiple murder cases, and now, anyone convicted in those cases had a potential argument for appeal. If Proctor had lied, manipulated evidence, or acted with bias in the Read case, who's to say he hadn't done it before? By late 2024, the Massachusetts State Police were scrambling. They launched internal investigations not just into Proctor, but **into his superiors—**the people who had allowed him to operate without oversight. They needed to figure out who knew what and when. And once they started digging, it became clear that Proctor wasn't the only problem. The truth is, he was never operating alone. And that brings us back to Sandra Birchmore. Sandra Birchmore was 23 years old, pregnant, and terrified. She had been manipulated for years by a man with a badge—Officer Matthew Farwell, a cop she had known since she was a teenager, a man who had groomed her since she was 13 or 14 years old under the guise of a police mentorship program. By 2021, she was pregnant with Farwell's child. Days later, she was found dead in her apartment. The official cause? Suicide. The police wasted no time shutting the case down. No suspicious circumstances. No deep dive into her relationship with Farwell. Just a quick, convenient conclusion that kept everything under wraps. And guess who oversaw that investigation? The same Massachusetts State Police unit that Michael Proctor worked for. It would take three years for the truth to come out. When federal investigators finally stepped in, they re-examined the crime scene, the autopsy, and Birchmore's relationship with Farwell. What they found contradicted the original ruling completely. Sandra Birchmore hadn't died by suicide. She had been strangled. Her death had been staged. The scene manipulated to look like something it wasn't. And when that became undeniable, Matthew Farwell was arrested and charged with murder in August 2024. This should have been the moment when the Massachusetts State Police admitted failure. But instead, they scrambled to explain how they had gotten it so wrong. And that's where things start to look uncomfortably familiar. The same people involved in burying the Birchmore case had direct ties to the Read investigation. Lieutenant John Fanning, Detective Brian Tully, and Sergeant Yuri Bukhenik—all senior officers **in Proctor's chain of command during the Read case—**had connections to the Stoughton Police Department, the same department where Farwell worked. This wasn't a coincidence. By the time Proctor was fired in March 2025, it wasn't about just him anymore. It was about all the people who had allowed him to operate unchecked for years. And the fallout was just beginning. Because once people started asking who had protected Proctor, they started realizing he was just one piece of a much bigger problem.

Michael Proctor's Career of Alleged Cover-Ups In Memoriam Michael Proctor had everything a cop could want—respect, power, and a reputation that, for years, seemed untouchable. But by March 2025, he wasn't just out of a job—he was a liability. Fired. Disgraced. Publicly humiliated in a way few law enforcement officers ever are. And it all comes back to one thing: the way he handled the Karen Read case. Or rather, how spectacularly he mishandled it. Proctor's downfall wasn't a quick and clean dismissal. This wasn't one of those “effective immediately” situations where a cop gets caught doing something catastrophic and is gone by the next morning. No, this was a slow-motion train wreck. A case study in watching someone who thought they were untouchable get tangled in their own arrogance, their own bias, and their own mistakes. It started with a mistrial in July 2024—a high-profile, publicly scrutinized moment where Proctor didn't just look bad on the stand, he became the story. His testimony wasn't just shaky; it was an unmitigated disaster. Prosecutors must have known it was coming because the moment his text messages came out, it was game over. These weren't just any texts. Proctor, the lead investigator in the Karen Read case, the man responsible for gathering evidence and ensuring a fair and unbiased investigation, repeatedly called the defendant a "wack-job ct," openly mocked her, laughed about digging through her phone for nude photos, and, in one of the most damning moments, said he hoped she would kill herself.** Think about that for a second. The guy responsible for finding out what actually happened had already made up his mind before the investigation even started. And he wasn't keeping that bias to himself—he was texting it to people. Joking about it. Making it impossible to argue that he had conducted an objective investigation. And that wasn't even the worst of it. Proctor had undisclosed personal connections to key people involved in the case. His own sister was friends with members of the Albert family—the same family that owned the house where John O'Keefe was last seen alive. His family knew them socially. And yet, he never disclosed this. He took the case, took control of the evidence, and built a case against Karen Read while having direct ties to the very people who could have been alternative suspects. Then there was the taillight evidence. The prosecution's whole theory hinged on the idea that Karen Read backed into John O'Keefe with her SUV, breaking her taillight and leaving him outside to die in the snow. But the glass fragments that allegedly proved this theory didn't make it to the crime lab for six weeks. Six weeks. And guess who was in charge of that evidence? Michael Proctor. When asked about the delay, there was no good answer. No chain of custody explanation that made sense. No reasonable justification for why a critical piece of forensic evidence in a high-profile murder case sat around for over a month before it was analyzed. The defense didn't even need to prove that the evidence had been planted—they just had to point out how incompetent and sloppy the investigation was. And Proctor had done all of their work for them. The mistrial was a disaster. But the fallout was worse. Within hours of the decision, Proctor was suspended. That was the first clue that even his own department knew he was a problem. The Massachusetts State Police don't just throw their own under the bus. It takes serious misconduct for them to cut someone loose. And by this point, they had no choice. Because once Proctor went down, he took a whole lot of other cases with him. One of the first dominoes to fall? The Ana Walshe murder trial. This was another major case where Proctor had been deeply involved—investigating the disappearance and presumed murder of Walshe by her husband, Brian. But after the Read mistrial, prosecutors dropped Proctor from their witness list. They weren't even willing to put him on the stand. Think about what that means. Prosecutors, who normally go to great lengths to protect their investigators, decided it was better to move forward without their lead detective rather than risk having him testify. Then came the defense attorneys lining up to challenge other convictions. Proctor had worked on multiple murder cases, and now, anyone convicted in those cases had a potential argument for appeal. If Proctor had lied, manipulated evidence, or acted with bias in the Read case, who's to say he hadn't done it before? By late 2024, the Massachusetts State Police were scrambling. They launched internal investigations not just into Proctor, but **into his superiors—**the people who had allowed him to operate without oversight. They needed to figure out who knew what and when. And once they started digging, it became clear that Proctor wasn't the only problem. The truth is, he was never operating alone. And that brings us back to Sandra Birchmore. Sandra Birchmore was 23 years old, pregnant, and terrified. She had been manipulated for years by a man with a badge—Officer Matthew Farwell, a cop she had known since she was a teenager, a man who had groomed her since she was 13 or 14 years old under the guise of a police mentorship program. By 2021, she was pregnant with Farwell's child. Days later, she was found dead in her apartment. The official cause? Suicide. The police wasted no time shutting the case down. No suspicious circumstances. No deep dive into her relationship with Farwell. Just a quick, convenient conclusion that kept everything under wraps. And guess who oversaw that investigation?

The Fall of Trooper Michael Proctor: A Trail of Misconduct and Broken Trust On January 15, 2025, Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor will face a disciplinary hearing that could mark the end of his career. The hearing follows a cascade of controversies involving Proctor's investigative conduct in several high-profile cases, each raising serious questions about the integrity of law enforcement practices in Massachusetts. From the Karen Read murder trial to the disturbing death of Sandra Birchmore, Proctor's involvement has been marred by allegations of misconduct, mishandled evidence, and professional impropriety. As the public watches closely, the hearing promises to be a pivotal moment for the Massachusetts State Police. The Karen Read Case: A Mistrial and Questions of Bias In January 2022, Karen Read was accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, by allegedly backing her SUV into him during a snowstorm. Trooper Michael Proctor was assigned as the lead investigator in the case, a role that would later become a focal point of controversy. During the trial, Proctor's conduct came under fire when defense attorneys revealed unprofessional and derogatory text messages he had sent regarding Read. In one particularly damning message, Proctor expressed hope that Read would harm herself, a sentiment he later admitted to under cross-examination. The defense alleged that Proctor's investigative methods were not only biased but also aimed at confirming Read's guilt rather than pursuing an impartial search for the truth. Questions were raised about the handling of physical evidence, including the broken taillight from Read's SUV and the analysis of O'Keefe's injuries. In July 2024, the case ended in a mistrial, further eroding public confidence in the investigation. Read's retrial is now scheduled for April 2025, but the shadow of Proctor's alleged misconduct continues to loom large. The Brian Walshe Case: Doubts About Credibility Proctor's troubles did not end with the Karen Read case. In early 2023, he was assigned as the lead investigator in another high-profile case: the murder of Ana Walshe. Her husband, Brian Walshe, was accused of killing and dismembering her in one of the most shocking domestic violence cases in recent memory. Despite the gravity of the allegations, prosecutors announced in September 2024 that Proctor would not be called to testify during Walshe's trial. The decision was widely interpreted as an acknowledgment of the credibility issues stemming from Proctor's prior conduct in the Read case. Defense attorneys in the Walshe case seized upon Proctor's tarnished reputation, questioning whether his investigative methods could be trusted. While the details of his involvement remain limited due to the decision to sideline him as a witness, the controversy surrounding Proctor has undoubtedly impacted public perception of the case, which is set to go to trial later in 2025. The Myles King and Shawn Johnson Cases: A Pattern of Concern Proctor's involvement in other cases has also come under scrutiny. In the case of Myles King, accused of killing Marquis Simmons in Milton in 2021, defense attorneys expressed concerns about Proctor's role in the investigation. Similar concerns arose in the case of Shawn Johnson, who faces murder charges related to a deadly shooting outside a Randolph country club on July 4, 2022. In both instances, defense teams highlighted Proctor's alleged misconduct in the Read and Walshe cases as a basis for questioning the integrity of the investigations. The Sandra Birchmore Case: A Tragic Loss and a Broken System Perhaps the most harrowing of all is the case of Sandra Birchmore, a 23-year-old woman whose death was initially ruled a suicide. Birchmore was found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment in February 2021. The initial investigation by local authorities concluded that she had taken her own life, but federal investigators later determined that her death was a homicide. Former Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell was indicted in August 2024 for Birchmore's murder. Farwell, who allegedly groomed Birchmore from the time she was a teenager, was accused of maintaining a years-long inappropriate relationship with her. When Birchmore became pregnant, Farwell allegedly staged her death to appear as a suicide, a revelation that sent shockwaves through the community. While Proctor was not directly involved in the Birchmore investigation, the case has drawn parallels to others he handled, particularly in the context of law enforcement misconduct. The Birchmore tragedy underscores systemic failures within Massachusetts' law enforcement agencies and has intensified calls for comprehensive reforms. Implications for Massachusetts State Police The upcoming disciplinary hearing for Michael Proctor is more than just a review of one officer's conduct; it is a litmus test for the Massachusetts State Police's commitment to accountability and reform. Proctor's suspension without pay since July 2024, following an internal affairs investigation, has already signaled the department's willingness to address serious allegations. However, public trust in the force remains precarious. The Massachusetts State Police have stated that the trial board's recommendations will be reviewed by the Superintendent, who will determine the final outcome. This process is being closely watched by advocacy groups, legal experts, and the families of those affected by the cases Proctor investigated. The results of the hearing could have far-reaching implications, not only for Proctor's career but also for the integrity of the Massachusetts State Police as a whole. Public and Media Reaction The media has extensively covered the controversies surrounding Proctor, painting a picture of a deeply troubled investigator whose alleged misconduct has jeopardized multiple cases. Public response has been equally intense, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability in law enforcement. Advocacy groups have emphasized the need for systemic reforms, including improved oversight mechanisms and stricter standards for investigative practices. The cases involving Karen Read, Brian Walshe, and Sandra Birchmore have become rallying points for those demanding justice and institutional change. As public pressure mounts, the Massachusetts State Police face a critical juncture: Will they take decisive action to restore trust, or will they allow the shadow of these controversies to linger? Conclusion and Anticipated Developments The disciplinary hearing on January 15, 2025, is expected to be a watershed moment. Whether Michael Proctor faces permanent disciplinary action or is allowed to continue his career will depend on the findings of the trial board and the Superintendent's decision. Meanwhile, the Karen Read retrial, the Brian Walshe trial, and the legal proceedings in the Sandra Birchmore case will continue to unfold, each carrying the weight of Proctor's controversial legacy. As Massachusetts grapples with these complex and emotionally charged cases, one thing is clear: The pursuit of justice demands more than just individual accountability. It requires a commitment to systemic change, ensuring that tragedies like those of Sandra Birchmore and John O'Keefe are never repeated. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
