COHASSET, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man has been indicted in the death of his wife who has not been seen since Jan. 1, a top prosecutor said Thursday.

A first-degree murder conviction in Massachusetts carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.

Walshe is accused of murdering his wife, dismembering her and disposing of her body.

The Secret Life of Cohasset Con Man Brian Walshe

Friends thought he was a fun-loving guy. Then his wife disappeared.

Even as Brian wanted to be known, he didn’t let many people know much about him. He often told people that he was wealthy and Persian. He also let on that he owned a home at 225 Beacon Street, a five-story, 6,000-square-foot brownstone. He’d often meet friends outside, ahead of an evening on the town, and later see them off from his stoop before entering his home’s glass vestibule. He never entertained in any of his residence’s multiple ballrooms, nor did he ever throw a dinner party there. In fact, with one or two rare exceptions, the close friend from the restaurant says, Brian never let anyone inside.

The source of Brian’s wealth was also a mystery. When asked, his explanations were often varied and vague. According to former friends, Brian said he dealt in art. He also claimed that he and a college roommate had sold an airline ticketing service to Expedia for close to $200 million when he was in his twenties. At other times, he said he made his money off the oil fields of Papua New Guinea and the Yucatan peninsula. His moniker among acquaintances, according to the restaurant friend, was aptly “international man of mystery.”

Behind the enigma, though, was less than met the eye. Brian didn’t own the fabulous brownstone at 225 Beacon, despite what he’d told his friends. His mother, Diana, held the deed to the home, and she allowed him to live there with her. And as much money as he spent around town, his former friends say, Brian was seen bouncing checks and having trouble with his credit cards. “He borrowed money from a lot of people,” Brian’s former best friend says, adding that Brian often blamed his accountants and money managers for his financial woes. “He was always buying time.”

At the scheduled hearing, Walshe appeared confused as he learned that his lawyer in the estate case had quit.

"Perhaps it was a misunderstanding, but I thought he continued to be my lawyer," Walshe said.

"I'm not in any position to make any decisions without the assistance of a lawyer," the suspect added in a hearing attended by local ABC affiliate WCVB.

Relatives allege that Walshe destroyed his father's will and sold many of the items within the late man's home.

The case is being heard in Plymouth County Probate Court, where relatives have tried for years to force Walshe to file a list of assets he took, WCVB reported.

I'm currently incarcerated, and I don't have access to the files, and I don't know where they are right now," Walshe said on Wednesday.

"In time, I will be able to organize them."

December 31, 2022​

According to Brian Walshe's statements to police included in an affidavit, he and his wife hosted a New Year's Eve dinner at their home with a friend named Gem.

Brian and Ana Walshe went to bed shortly after the friend left around 1 or 1:30 a.m., he told investigators, the affidavit states. Ana Walshe said she had a work emergency and needed to fly to Washington for her job the next morning, he told police.

January 1, 2023​

As Brian Walshe told police, in the morning Ana Walshe "got ready and kissed him goodbye and told him to go back to sleep," the affidavit states. She usually took an Uber, Lyft or Taxi to the airport and left between 6 and 7 a.m., the affidavit states.

According to prosecutors, he made a series of Google searches on his son's iPad, including "How long before a body starts to smell," "10 ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to," "How long for someone to be missing to inherit," and "How to clean blood from wooden floor."
He further told police a babysitter arrived in the afternoon and he left home to get groceries at about 3 p.m., the affidavit states.

He told police he then went to see his mother at about 4 p.m. in Swampscott, about an hour drive from Cohasset, but did not have his cell phone and got lost, making the trip longer than usual, the affidavit states. He said he left his mother's home within about 15 minutes of arriving to run errands for her at Whole Foods and CVS and eventually returned home to Cohasset at about 8 p.m., according to the affidavit.

January 2​

Ana Walshe's cell phone pinged in the area of their Cohasset home on January 1 and 2, according to prosecutor Lynn Beland.

As Brian Walshe told investigators, he took one of his children for ice cream at a juice bar in Norwell on January 2 while the babysitter watched his two other kids, the affidavit states. Investigators confirmed this trip occurred, the affidavit states.

He went to Home Goods and purchased three rugs, prosecutors said.

Just after noon, he made several more Google searches: "Hacksaw best tool to dismember," "Can you be charged with murder without a body," and "Can you identify a body with broken teeth," according to prosecutors.

According to surveillance video, Brian Walshe traveled to a Home Depot in Rockland wearing a surgical mask and gloves and made a cash purchase, the affidavit states. There, Walshe bought $450 of cleaning supplies, including mops, a bucket, tarps, goggles, a hatchet and baking soda, according to Beland.
