It was the prosecution’s final day of testimony and they saved the best for last. The day began with Gem Mutlu, one of the Walshe’s dear friends and most notably, the man who spent New Year’s Eve with the couple in the hours leading up to Ana’s death. The prosecution struggled with Mutlu’s testimony, and it’s unclear whether it did more harm than good. The final witness for the state was one of Ana’s best friends who had some incredible details we have yet to hear about the Walshe’s marriage, but once again, she seems to have both helped and hurt the case against Walshe.

Two shocking criminal cases. Profoundly different stories. But a single unifying variable: evidence. In this special all-in-one episode, former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to walk us through both the Luigi Mangione suppression hearing and the early trial of Brian Walshe — side by side. What you'll get: A look at the body-cam video in a McDonald's, a backpack with a ghost-gun + manifesto, and the scrambled fate of the Mangione case. A deep dive into Mangione's weird behavior after the killing — surrender, confessions, chatter in custody — and what it all might mean. A breakdown of digital footprints, dumpster trails, and forensic evidence in the Walshe trial that could rewrite the defense's story. A broader discussion of public reaction — from “Free Luigi” supporters to nervous watchers of Walshe's fate — plus the danger of copycats and the impact on judicial precedent. What to watch next: suppression rulings, trial dates, possible appeals — and how both cases reflect larger tensions around ideology, justice, and the law. This episode isn't just about crime. It's about how evidence shapes narratives — and why what stays or gets thrown out could define not just verdicts, but public perception of justice itself.

It was a complicated, technical day of blood evidence highly important to the prosecution’s case, but the problem was, it was difficult for anyone other than a forensic scientist to absorb and understand the testimony. Walshe’s attorneys were able to keep things simple on cross examination though, getting the state’s witnesses to admit two very important things to the jury. First, that there was no blood found in the Walshe’s bedroom or bathrooms, and second, while there was blood found on the basement floor, no crime lab test could reveal how or when that blood got there.

Day 6 of the Brian Walshe murder trial gave jurors something they won't forget — surveillance footage of a masked man in blue latex gloves pushing a cart through a Lowe's on New Year's Day 2023. Inside that cart: a hacksaw, a hatchet, a utility knife, a Tyvek suit, mops, buckets, and cleaning supplies. The total was $463.23. He paid cash. Hours later, prosecutors say Walshe drove to a liquor store in Swampscott — a place where he was a regular, a place that was closed for the holiday — and tossed a trash bag into the dumpster behind the building. Police recovered that bag. Inside they found carpet fragments with blood clots, human hair, and a piece of Gucci jewelry with the brand name engraved on it. Ana Walshe owned Gucci jewelry. Crime lab specialist Matthew Sheehan walked the jury through the blood evidence. The hacksaw tested positive. The hatchet tested positive — and carried a greasy residue consistent with cutting into human tissue. The hammer, the tin snips, towels, slippers, carpet pieces — all positive. A kitchen knife hidden above the refrigerator in the Walshe home came back positive for blood. But here's where the defense runs into trouble. The bedroom — where Brian Walshe's lawyers claim Ana died suddenly of natural causes — was forensically clean. No biological evidence on the floor, even after investigators dug up a section of it. No blood in the bathrooms. No blood on the stairs. But the basement floor? Covered in blood stains, right next to a pile of black trash bags. The state medical examiner testified that sudden unexpected death in a healthy 39-year-old woman is "pretty rare" and put sudden arrhythmia "at the very bottom of the list" of explanations. He couldn't determine cause of death because there's no body. Brian Walshe already pleaded guilty to disposing of his wife's remains. The prosecution is a third of the way through their case, and the picture is getting clearer by the day. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #CohassetMurder #ForensicEvidence #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForAna #CrimeLab Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The first week of testimony has shaken the foundation of the defense for Brian Walshe. From cell-phone data placing him at multiple dumpster sites to surveillance footage and forensic tools found nearby — the prosecution says the timeline and digital footprints speak louder than any alibi. Guest: ex-FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer. She guides us through: How investigators used synced devices (MacBook + iPad) and phone-pings to chart Walshe's movements. The pattern of visits to dumpsters, apartment complexes, and Home Depot / Lowe's — and why that movement doesn't look like panic. The axe, the hatchet, and the grim possibility of recovering human tissue — and what this means for charges. The defense's claim of “panic, not premeditation,” and whether that argument still holds after this first week. If you thought you knew the Walshe case — this week changed everything. #BrianWalshe #TrueCrime #MurderCase #DigitalForensics #CourtTrial #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #CrimeWatch #Justice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe is on trial right now for murdering and dismembering his wife Ana. Her body has never been found. He's already pleaded guilty to disposing of her remains and lying to police—but he says he didn't kill her. His defense: he woke up, found her dead from some unexplained medical event, and panicked. Rather than call 911, he spent three days Googling how to dismember a body, bought a hacksaw and hatchet at Home Depot, and distributed her remains across dumpsters in eastern Massachusetts. To protect his kids, they say. The prosecution has a different theory. And a search history that starts at 4:55 a.m. with "how long before a body starts to smell." In this full interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—takes us through every dimension of this case. Dreeke spent 21 years catching spies and detecting deception at the highest levels. His expertise is reading people: what they say, what they do, and what the gap between those things reveals. We break down Walshe's police interviews and the behavioral markers of deception. We examine the marriage itself—the affair Ana was hiding, the power imbalance created by Brian's home confinement, the resentments that may have been building beneath the surface. And we analyze the aftermath: the Google searches, the shopping trips, the dumpster runs, and what that sequence of behavior tells us about guilt or innocence. This isn't speculation. It's pattern recognition from someone who made a career out of knowing when people are lying. The jury is deliberating the evidence. After this interview, you'll understand what that evidence actually means. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #FBI #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #FBIProfiler #MurderTrial #DeceptionDetection #CrimePsychology #PoliceInterview #ForensicEvidence #GoogleSearches #TrueCrimePodcast #Cohasset #MassachusettsCrime #ConsciousnessOfGuilt #CriminalBehavior #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForAna #ColdCase #FBIAgent #Interrogation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Week 2 of the Brian Walshe trial is underway, but on Friday jurors heard texts Walshe sent to his missing wife’s phone well after he knew she was already dead. The prosecution revealed a series of texts in the hours and days following Ana Walshe’s death, feigning concern about her and expressing his love for her. However, the defense made some impressive progress during cross examination, chipping away at premeditation, showing other texts and searches that reveal a loving husband who seemed unaware his wife was having an affair.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Criminal defense attorney Alison Triessl is back with Amy and T.J. as we head into week 2 of the Brian Walshe trial, and Triessl can’t believe what she’s seen so far from the prosecution.

The Brian Walshe trial wrapped up its 6th day of testimony with a number of eerie visuals and evidence. Jurors saw Brian Walshe shopping for dismemberment supplies within hours of Ana Walshe’s death, even bringing their child with him to a follow up visit to the store. We also heard and saw photos of blood stains found in the Walshe home on rugs and towels, on a knife and on the basement floor, but as Amy and T.J. discuss, the defense continued to score points in cross examination.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a stunning legal maneuver, Brian Walshe's defense has admitted he dismembered his missing wife, Ana, but insists he did not kill her. They argue Walshe panicked after finding her unresponsive from natural causes, fearing his prior federal fraud conviction would immediately implicate him. While prosecutors cite a $2.7 million insurance motive and chilling Google searches on body disposal as proof of intent, the defense claims these were the frantic actions of a desperate man. With no body recovered, the jury must decide: was this calculated murder or a "catastrophic" cover-up?Sources:https://apnews.com/article/brian-walshe-trial-wife-3d290aed2d1a0f1999b7f52601f30bf3https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/12/03/brian-walshe-ana-internet-history-murder-charges-trial/https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/brian-walshe-trial-live-stream-jury-selection/https://www.biography.com/crime/a69594031/brian-walshe-murder-trial-ana-walshehttps://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/watch-live-brian-walshe-trial-testimony-day-2/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brian Walshe sat across from detectives and told them everything was fine. Happy marriage. No affair. No idea where his wife went. He said he'd "never do anything to hurt" Ana. What investigators didn't tell him right away was that they'd already pulled his search history—queries like "how long before a body starts to smell" and "can you be charged with murder without a body." In this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—breaks down the recorded police interviews that are now central evidence in the Brian Walshe murder trial. For 21 years, Dreeke's job was catching people in lies that threatened national security. He knows what deception looks like under pressure, and he's walking us through exactly what Walshe's words, delivery, and behavior reveal. We dig into the specific tells: Why did Walshe volunteer that his wife's texts sometimes popped up on his phone? What does it mean when someone fabricates alibi details that surveillance footage directly contradicts? How does a person maintain composure across multiple interviews while their laptop contains a roadmap to dismemberment? Dreeke explains the difference between genuine denial and performance, why guilty people often give too much information, and what baseline behavioral shifts—like a suddenly rushed demeanor at daycare drop-off—actually signal. This isn't speculation. It's pattern recognition from someone who spent two decades in rooms with people whose lies had consequences. The Walshe trial is happening right now. The jury is hearing these recordings. And once you understand what to listen for, you'll never hear them the same way. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #FBI #BehavioralAnalysis #RobinDreeke #DeceptionDetection #PoliceInterview #MurderTrial #CohassetMurder #CrimePsychology #BodyLanguage #Interrogation #TrueCrimePodcast #CriminalBehavior #FBIAgent #TrueCrimeCommunity #Justice #MassachusettsCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

From the outside, the Walshes had it together. Three kids, a house in upscale Cohasset, a townhome in D.C., and Ana rising through commercial real estate. But the structure was fractured in ways that matter. Ana was months into an affair. Brian was under federal home confinement for art fraud, unable to travel, serving as primary caregiver while his wife built a separate life 400 miles away. She was the breadwinner. He was stuck. Four days before Ana died, someone on Brian's devices searched "what's the best state to divorce for a man." Two days later, their last text exchange ended with "love you" and "love you too." In this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who spent his career studying trust, betrayal, and human motivation—helps us understand what was actually happening inside that marriage. His framework isn't academic theory. It comes from decades of assessing relationships where the stakes were life and death. We explore the behavioral dynamics the jury won't see spelled out: What does it mean that Ana spoke positively about Brian while conducting an affair? How does a power imbalance like home confinement reshape someone's psychology? Can resentment build invisibly until it becomes something else entirely? And what did Ana's careful management of the affair—insisting Brian hear about it from her, worrying about his reaction—tell us about how she perceived the risk? The prosecution says Brian discovered the affair and killed her. The defense says he didn't even know. Somewhere in the behavioral evidence is the answer. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #FBI #RobinDreeke #RelationshipDynamics #DomesticViolence #BehavioralAnalysis #TrustAndBetrayal #Affair #MurderMotive #CrimePsychology #TrueCrimePodcast #IntimatePartnerViolence #Cohasset #MassachusettsCrime #FBIProfiler #TrueCrimeCommunity #CriminalPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Brian Walshe trial wrapped up its 6th day of testimony with a number of eerie visuals and evidence. Jurors saw Brian Walshe shopping for dismemberment supplies within hours of Ana Walshe’s death, even bringing their child with him to a follow up visit to the store. We also heard and saw photos of blood stains found in the Walshe home on rugs and towels, on a knife and on the basement floor, but as Amy and T.J. discuss, the defense continued to score points in cross examination.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Criminal defense attorney Alison Triessl is back with Amy and T.J. as we head into week 2 of the Brian Walshe trial, and Triessl can’t believe what she’s seen so far from the prosecution. From missed opportunities on redirect, to rushing through testimony, Triessl explains how Walshe’s defense attorneys are benefiting from the prosecution’s lackluster performance so far in the trial.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 2 of the Brian Walshe trial is underway, but on Friday jurors heard texts Walshe sent to his missing wife’s phone well after he knew she was already dead. The prosecution revealed a series of texts in the hours and days following Ana Walshe’s death, feigning concern about her and expressing his love for her. However, the defense made some impressive progress during cross examination, chipping away at premeditation, showing other texts and searches that reveal a loving husband who seemed unaware his wife was having an affair.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brian Walshe is currently on trial for the murder of his wife Ana Walshe, a mother of three who vanished from their Cohasset, Massachusetts home on New Year's Day 2023. Her body has never been found. But here's where this case takes a turn that legal experts are still trying to wrap their heads around: two weeks before trial, Walshe pleaded guilty to disposing of his wife's body and lying to police. He admitted, in open court, that he dismembered Ana and discarded her remains in dumpsters across the region. And yet he's standing in front of a jury right now saying he didn't kill her. The defense theory? Ana Walshe died suddenly and unexpectedly in their bed in the early hours of New Year's Day. No cause. No explanation. Just gone. Defense attorney Larry Tipton told jurors that his client panicked when he found his wife unresponsive. That he didn't think anyone would believe her death was natural. That his only thought was protecting their three young boys. So instead of calling 911, Brian Walshe allegedly grabbed a hacksaw. In this episode, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what might be the boldest — or most reckless — defense strategy we've seen in years. We dig into the tactical decision to plead guilty to the lesser charges right before trial. Is this about limiting what evidence the jury sees, or did the defense just hand prosecutors a gift? How do you sell "sudden unexplained death" to a jury when your client then cut up the body? And how do you rehabilitate a defendant's credibility when his own lawyer admitted he lied in every single police interview? Eric walks us through what the defense needs to prove, what experts they might call, and whether putting Walshe on the stand is a necessary risk or a fatal mistake. This is a case where the defense has already conceded consciousness of guilt — now they have to convince twelve people that consciousness of guilt doesn't mean guilt. We break down whether that's even possible. #BrianWalshe #BrianWalsheTrial #AnaWalshe #WalsheDefense #SuddenUnexplainedDeath #MurderTrial #EricFaddis #DefenseStrategy #MassachusettsMurderTrial #TrueCrime #CourtAnalysis #LegalAnalysis #DismembermentCase #NoBodyMurder #CriminalDefense #TrialStrategy #Cohasset #TrueCrimeCommunity #CriminalJustice #CourtRoom Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe is on trial right now in Dedham, Massachusetts for the first-degree murder of his wife Ana — a 39-year-old real estate executive, immigrant from Serbia, and mother of three young boys. Ana was last seen alive in the early hours of New Year's Day 2023. Her body has never been found. But what prosecutors and the defense agree on is this: Brian Walshe dismembered her remains and discarded them in dumpsters across the region. He's already pleaded guilty to that. He just says he didn't kill her. The defense theory is unlike anything we've seen in a high-profile murder case. Attorney Larry Tipton told jurors that Ana Walshe died suddenly and unexpectedly in bed — no cause, no explanation — and that Brian panicked. He didn't think anyone would believe it was natural. So instead of calling 911, he made a series of catastrophic decisions that included internet searches for "best way to dispose of a body," "hacksaw best tool for dismembering," and research into a serial killer known as the "trash bag killer." The defense says those searches prove panic, not premeditation. Prosecutors see it differently. They've told the jury this was a planned killing motivated by money and betrayal. Ana had $2.7 million in life insurance policies naming Brian as the sole beneficiary. She was also having an affair with William Fastow, a D.C. real estate broker — and prosecutors say Brian knew. His phone searched Fastow's name on Christmas Day, less than a week before Ana vanished. The internet searches, prosecutors argue, aren't evidence of panic. They're a roadmap. In this full breakdown, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins me to dissect every angle of this case. We start with the defense strategy: the decision to plead guilty to the lesser charges, the viability of the "sudden death" theory, and whether putting Walshe on the stand is a necessary gamble. Then we dig into the prosecution's case: the digital evidence, the insurance motive, the affair, and the challenges of proving first-degree murder without a body. Finally, we examine the trial dynamics — including the Michael Proctor scandal, Walshe's jail stabbing and mental competency evaluation, and what to watch as this case heads toward a verdict. This is a case that will test the limits of circumstantial evidence and force a jury to answer an almost impossible question: Can you believe a man who admits he cut up his wife when he says he didn't kill her? #BrianWalshe #BrianWalsheTrial #AnaWalshe #MurderTrial #EricFaddis #DefenseAttorney #FormerProsecutor #FullBreakdown #NoBodyMurder #Dismemberment #LifeInsurance #GoogleSearches #MichaelProctor #KarenRead #Massachusetts #TrueCrime #CourtTV #TrialAnalysis #Cohasset #SuddenDeathDefense #WilliamFastow #FirstDegreeMurder #CircumstantialEvidence #CriminalJustice #TrueCrimePodcast #LegalAnalysis #DeepDive Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe is on trial right now in Dedham, Massachusetts for the first-degree murder of his wife Ana — a 39-year-old real estate executive, immigrant from Serbia, and mother of three young boys. Ana was last seen alive in the early hours of New Year's Day 2023. Her body has never been found. But what prosecutors and the defense agree on is this: Brian Walshe dismembered her remains and discarded them in dumpsters across the region. He's already pleaded guilty to that. He just says he didn't kill her. The defense theory is unlike anything we've seen in a high-profile murder case. Attorney Larry Tipton told jurors that Ana Walshe died suddenly and unexpectedly in bed — no cause, no explanation — and that Brian panicked. He didn't think anyone would believe it was natural. So instead of calling 911, he made a series of catastrophic decisions that included internet searches for "best way to dispose of a body," "hacksaw best tool for dismembering," and research into a serial killer known as the "trash bag killer." The defense says those searches prove panic, not premeditation. Prosecutors see it differently. They've told the jury this was a planned killing motivated by money and betrayal. Ana had $2.7 million in life insurance policies naming Brian as the sole beneficiary. She was also having an affair with William Fastow, a D.C. real estate broker — and prosecutors say Brian knew. His phone searched Fastow's name on Christmas Day, less than a week before Ana vanished. The internet searches, prosecutors argue, aren't evidence of panic. They're a roadmap. In this full breakdown, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins me to dissect every angle of this case. We start with the defense strategy: the decision to plead guilty to the lesser charges, the viability of the "sudden death" theory, and whether putting Walshe on the stand is a necessary gamble.

In this week’s Crime Roundup, Sheryl McCollum and Joshua Schiffer Break down the federal hearing surrounding Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December of 2024. What began as a five-day manhunt has become a master class in what not to do, with missed warrants, coached testimony, and evidence on the verge of being thrown out. Sheryl and Joshua examine how procedural missteps could weaken a potential death penalty case and why “get a warrant” isn't just good advice; it's the foundation of justice. They then turned their attention to Massachusetts, where the trial of Brian Walshe, who is accused of killing and dismembering his wife, reveals how arrogance, lies, and a trail of Google searches can expose a killer's truth. Highlights: • (0:00) Welcome to Crime Roundup with Sheryl McCollum and Joshua Schiffer • (0:15) "99 percent of the time, you need a warrant... it won’t hurt your case if you get one and don’t need it.” • (4:00) Coached testimony and the danger of tailoring officer statements for admissibility • (7:30) What happens when training, procedure, and pressure collide in the courtroom • (9:00) How early media leaks and “pre-trial publicity” can poison a case before it begins • (10:30) The potential collapse of key evidence and its impact on death penalty eligibility • (12:15) The rules of criminal procedure and what it means when they don’t apply equally • (17:15) The defense’s dream scenario: getting the weapon suppressed because of a“bad stop” • (17:45) The Brian Walshe trail and the anatomy of a cover-up • (19:30) Walshe’s “woke up and she was dead” defense and why it’s collapsing in court • (21:45) The digital trail: how Google searches reveal motive, method, and mindset • (23:00) Closing thoughts: why “get a warrant” isn’t optional, it’s the rule of law About the Hosts Joshua Schiffer is a veteran trial attorney and one of the Southeast’s most respected legal voices.
