Prosecutors are in court this week fighting against Brian Walshe — the man accused of killing his wife Ana Walshe after she vanished back on New Year’s Day.
We’ve been reporting on the story of the Massachusetts family for some time now, but on Thursday, Brian’s latest court appearance brought shocking new updates. According to the prosecution, Brian allegedly killed his wife because he thought she had been having an affair behind his back.

During Thursday’s court appearance, per NBC News, Brian pleaded not guilty to all the counts that have been brought against him: murder, misleading a police investigation, obstruction of justice, and improper conveyance of a human body.
Prosecutors may have an uphill battle in the case. No trace of Ana — who vanished back on New Year’s Day after supposedly leaving home for a work trip — has even been found. She is presumed dead, but without her remains, police and prosecutors are searching for other evidence of what they believe occurred. According to them, the 48-year-old man allegedly killed his wife, dismembered her, and then disposed of her body.
In court on Thursday, the case against Brian started to unfold. Prosecutors argued that he “directed his mother to hire a private investigator” to track Ana as she traveled, per WCVB-TV. The 39-year-old woman was a real estate executive who worked regularly in Washington, DC, and traveled back and forth between there and the couple’s Boston home. The PI was brought on by Brian’s mother, according to the state of Massachusetts, “for the purpose of proving infidelity” on Ana’s part.
