About this listen

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?
