Brian Walshe pleads not guilty to murder: Everything we know about the case
Brian Walshe, the 47-year-old Massachusetts man charged with murder in connection with the disappearance of his 39-year-old wife, Ana Walshe, appeared in court on Wednesday for his arraignment. Walshe pleaded not guilty in Quincy District Court and was ordered held without bail. His next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 9.
Ana Walshe was reported missing by her employer, Washington, D.C.-based real estate company Tishman Speyer, on Jan. 4 when she didn’t show up to work. Brian Walshe told police he hadn’t seen Ana since the early morning of Jan. 1, when she allegedly left their home in Cohasset, Mass., about 20 miles southeast of Boston, in a ride-sharing vehicle to go to Logan International Airport for a flight to D.C.
Last week Brian Walshe was charged with misleading investigators after surveillance footage showed him buying $450 worth of cleaning supplies at a Home Depot on Jan. 2, the day after his wife was last seen.
Beland also said investigators discovered 10 trash bags filled with items including towels, rags, tape, gloves, cleaning agents, Ana Walshe’s COVID-19 vaccination card, a hacksaw and a hatchet. Some of the items included stains consistent with blood, she said.
DNA evidence linked to Ana Walsh was found on a pair of slippers, clothes and a Tyvek disposable suit, Beland told the court.
Prosecutors have not publicly identified a motive for the alleged killing. But on Dec. 27, Beland said, there was another internet search query that drew the interest of investigators: “What’s the best state to divorce?”
According to federal court records obtained by CNN, Brian Walshe had been on home confinement while awaiting sentencing in a federal fraud case involving the sale of fake Andy Warhol paintings at the time of Ana Walshe’s disappearance. But police have said Ana’s disappearance and her husband’s fraud case appear to be unrelated.
Let us remember, as I pointed out last week: Innocent until proven guilty. A tale as old as time. Do you know what else is a tale as old as time? There is always an exception to the rule. This man is the exception to the “innocent until proven guilty” rule because it is clear as day that he killed his wife.
Getting into this guy’s head is not worth my time, mainly because I do not think the experience would be an enjoyable one for me nor could I turn it into quality content for y’all. With that said, I do wonder whether he thought to himself while the District Attorney was rattling off his Google searches, “I should have searched which Massachusetts prison has the best food.” One last psycho Google search for good measure.

CHIEFS 27 Jaguars 20: Good teams win, great teams cover. Had the Jaguars wide receivers not dropped passes throughout the game and had Jamal Agnew not fumbled inside Kansas City’s 10-yard line, where a touchdown would have made it a 3-point game, Jacksonville might be playing in the AFC Championship Game. Then again, if QB Patrick Mahomes does not suffer a high ankle sprain during the first half, the game probably would not have been as close as it was.
EAGLES 38 Giants 7: Early in the first half, the first down chain got tangled like Apple wired headphones get tangled when you shove them into your pants pocket. That was symbiotic of the Giants in this game. They were down 28-0 at half; only ran 19 plays compared to 42 plays in the first half; and were outgained 260 yards to 64 yards through the first two quarters (416 to 227 for the game). The Eagles proved why they are the number one seed in the NFC, and they appear to be healthy going into the Championship Game.
BENGALS 27 Bills 10: Well, chalk this one up as a surprise. I did not envision Cincinnati spanking Buffalo from start to finish. The Bengals were without three starters along the offensive line, but it did not matter because Joe Burrow is HIM. I may have cringed writing the last word of that sentence.
The team that controls the line of scrimmage usually comes away victorious, and the Bengals’ big boys in the trenches smacked the Bills in the mouth then spit in their faces. The disrespect. Burrow helped himself by getting the ball out quickly but either way was still sacked only once, and Joe Mixon & Co. ran all over the Bills’ front en route to 173 total yards (5.4 yards per carry). Mixon carried the rock 20 times for 105 yards and one score on his own.
On the other side of the ball, the defensive line made life difficult for Josh Allen (68.1 passer rating), generating a 44.4% team pressure rate in the first half (per Next Gen Stats), and shut down the Bills’ rushing attack (19 carries for 63 yards; 3.3 yards/carry).
For the Bills, a disappointing season without a doubt given the preseason hype and expectations. One thing the Bills need to improve upon next year is tackling. Basic football stuff. I do not know what the stats were in Sunday’s game, but I feel like they missed way too many tackles. And that was the case all season long.
49ERS 19 Cowboys 12: Another season, another disappointing ending for the Dallas Cowboys. They have failed to make the conference championship in their last 12 postseason appearances, an NFL record. The last time they played in the conference championship was during the 1995 season, the last time they won the Super Bowl.
The loss of Tony Pollard during the game to injury was a significant one, given how dynamic he is as a runner and a pass catcher. And besides CeeDee Lamb, no one stepped up in Pollard’s absence as an offensive playmaker.
Regardless, in case y’all needed a reminder, San Francisco’s defense is elite. Their front four terrorized the Cowboys’ offensive line, and linebackers Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw displayed their blazing speed on several occasions. QB Dak Prescott (63.6 passer rating, 2 INTs) looked uncomfortable most of the night as a result, so it was only fair — and right — for the team account to throw him under the bus (and also for Jimmie Ward to roast him).
On the other side of the ball for the Niners, QB Brock Purdy was not flashy by any means, but he made the throws he needed to make, did not make any mistakes, and leaned on the ground game in the latter portions of the game en route to the team’s second-straight NFC Championship Game appearance.
Let’s fast forward to Dallas’ second-to-last drive. Dak had two bad incompletions, including a near INT, and was sacked on third down. Big Mike opted to not go for it on fourth down with the outcome in the balance, which is whatever, but then he proceeded to display his classic horrible clock management. As color guy Greg Olsen, who is the best color guy in the NFL (yes, he’s better than Tony Romo), pointed out: the Cowboys needed to get set and punt as soon as possible so that they could use their timeouts before the two-minute warning to save clock. Instead, the Cowboys wasted 30 seconds and punted with ~2:08.
The grand finale for the Cowboys was all sorts of bad. Embarrassing, actually. How in the hell did Big Mike and OC Kellen Moore think that this play was going to work? On the plus side, clean snap from Zeke. That makes sense, and the shoe fits, because he looks like he’s been on a lineman’s diet.

Talking Less Will Get You More
As Kevin from The Office once said, “Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick.”
In 2010, Beatty and his colleagues discovered that talkativeness is linked to brain-wave imbalances. Specifically, it’s about the balance between neuron activity in the left and right lobes in the anterior region of the prefrontal cortex. Ideally, the left and right lobe should have about the same amount of neuronal activity when a person is at rest. If there’s an asymmetry—if your left side is more active than the right—you’re likely to be shy. If the right side is more active, you’re likely to be talkative. The greater the imbalance, the further out on the talkativeness spectrum you will tend to be. A talkaholic’s right lobe will fire a ton while the left side barely flickers.
“It’s all about impulse control,” Beatty told me. The brain imbalances he studies have also been shown to correspond to aggression and “your ability to assess how a plan might unfold and what the consequences will be.”
