My heart breaks for Ana and her 3 young boys.

Don't forget about searching "how to dispose of a 115 pound woman's body" and information on how to dismember a body.

He was charged because he talked to the police. Regardless of whether you did it or not, don't ever talk to the police. Ever.

How do these people think they can get away with this stuff?

Guy may as well have left a big neon sign saying "I killed her."

I used to work in news and read a lot of arrest reports and court documents. It never ceased to amaze me how many suspects talked themselves into charges.

> husband’s internet records showed searches for how to dismember a body

What's are "internet records"?

> art fraud (fake Andy Warhol paintings)

That one stumped me. How can you have a fake Andy Warhol painting considering all the garbage Warhol painted looked like art fraud to me.

At this point no one gives a shit about the Walshe paintings, the key issue now is whether or not Brian actually murdered Ana (unfortunately that's what all signs point to). My heart is broken for poor Ana and her family, I even hurt for her kids, imagine going through life knowing one of your parents ended up murdering the other, that shit has got to be very deeply traumatizing.

Unfortunately it's so obvious at this point!

He was in home depot getting "supplies" with a mask on and latex gloves. Im no detective but after reading an article about this I concluded that she is more than likely dead.

The news keeps pointing out the Warhol art is evidence that he did it. So it is a valid observation.

I'd guess they meant "browser history", but I suppose they also could have meant Google Account history, ISP history, etc.

I can't imagine the sequence of events that leads you to murder your wife and leave behind 3 kids. Divorce is always an option if you don't like a spouse, no need to butcher people.

An interesting point was made that he is supposed to be paying restitution on the paintings. The theory was that either he killed her for the insurance money to make the payment or they had an argument because he likely spent the money he was supposed to be using for the restitution after selling the Cohasset house that burned.

My guess is that she was the one leaving him after the fraud case. He likely did not want that/couldn't deal.

Horrible thing all around, and hopefully the kids will be well cared for moving forward by grandparents/extended family.

Do these people not watch crime dramas on TV or something?

Oh my. 😳😬

I think he was born extremely wealthy. He's like a living Bluth family member

I mean if you wanna know how abusers and family annihilators think, and the reasons behind what they do, you can find that info here on reddit or with a quick google search. But if you want the short layperson's version: it's aggrieved entitlement. Dude felt he had the right to control her life, and when she refuses or tries to leave, he kills her.

Most women who are killed by current/former partners are in the process of trying to leave. I hope those kids end up somewhere safe too.

Yes, the brother for sure lol.

Cohasset, Massachusetts, is right on Massachusetts Bay.

There is a large seaside (coastline), right there, including the surrounding communities. I doubt anyone will find anything in the woods. But searching the coastline can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

She's clearly a successful person. He's indicted for an art scam and clearly a failure.

Think this had anything to do with it?

They found some items near her mother-in-law’s apartment in Swampscott actually.

Edit: not Peabody, Swampscott

This guy is not the sharpest pencil in the box.

If you are innocent, definitely don't talk to the police, innocent people get in trouble for this all the time.

If you are an actual murderer, it would be very stupid to talk to the police, also.

But I'm not your lawyer, so please, do that.

It breaks my heart that if she could have gotten through to sentencing, she would be in the clear.

Well, it breaks my heart, full stop, but she was so close to being free of him.

> Peabody

Also on the coastline.

Reminder. Rachel Rollins could have kept him locked up. Blood on her hands

He is so bad that I’m always waiting for her and Ashton Kutcher to run and say we were Punkd.

Best advice ever. Never never talk to the police.

Lol wut? Why would someone not talk to the police if their spouse went missing and they had nothing to do with it?

Watch this https://youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE

She couldn’t do that, he’s rich. Learn the rules.

He needs to man up, grow a pair, and tell the investigators where his wife’s body is. It’s his last act of decency.

Agree 100%. I’m thinking there are interrogators on this case skilled at bringing that out in people if at all possible.

The Maserati, the two homes (one in DC), art fraud, real estate scam, stealing a mil from his father… it’s sounding more and more like a couple trying to live beyond their means. So very sad for the little boys.

Oh dear. You'd be going to jail for murder like this woman's spouse then.

Oh dear. Not if you didn’t literally murder your wife and leave evidence all over the place

Yea I understand the general advice is not to ever talk to police. I think there’s an exception when your spouse’s life literally could depend on it…

Yeah that's a good point.

The funny thing about this guy is he is not even the one who reported her missing. That alone is pretty damning.

Totally. As soon as I heard that voicemail he left where he was way too casual and said something like “just wondering if you saw her Sunday… or, err, any day since Sunday” I knew he was 100% behind it

Whether he murdered his wife doesn't matter to the police. It's who fits the narrative of the current evidence at hand.

If he’s under house arrest wouldn’t he have been wearing an ankle monitor?

I read that he was wearing an ankle monitor. Making this whole case easier to solve.
