The trial of Brian Walshe is finally here, and before opening statements begin, we’re breaking down everything you need to know to understand what this case is really about. For nearly three years, the disappearance of Ana Walshe has been a story built on fragments — timelines, surveillance clips, digital searches, and unanswered questions. But now, with a full jury seated and the courtroom ready, we’re entering the phase where all of those pieces will be tested under oath.



In this episode, we walk you through the entire case from the beginning: who Brian Walshe is, the troubled backdrop of the federal fraud charges he was facing, and the mounting pressure inside the marriage in the months leading up to Ana’s disappearance. We revisit the last confirmed moments of Ana’s life, the days that followed, and the early investigative red flags that shifted this from a missing-person report to a homicide investigation.



We explore the evidence — the digital searches prosecutors say were made in the early morning hours, the timeline inconsistencies, the surveillance footage, and the items recovered from multiple trash locations. We also dig into the defense strategy: what they’re likely to challenge, how they may attack the timeline, and what they might focus on as they argue reasonable doubt in a case without a recovered body.



And we unpack the stunning decision by Walshe to plead guilty to misleading investigators and improper disposal, but not to the murder charge — a move that fundamentally reshapes how jurors will hear this case.



This is your complete guide to the story behind the trial, the stakes, the unanswered questions, and what may unfold when testimony begins.
