Brian Walshe was caught on surveillance at a Home Depot purchasing items such as three mops and brushes, two splash-resistant goggles, and a utility knife. Authorities suspect he used these items to dispose of his wife’s remains. 

In the search efforts for Ana, a hacksaw with a “small bone fragment” was discovered in a dumpster opposite Walshe’s mother’s residence. Prosecutors stated that following his wife’s disappearance, Walshe allegedly used his son’s iPad to conduct over a dozen Google searches on ways to dispose of a body. 

Before the disappearance, Walshe hired a private investigator because he suspected his wife was cheating on him.
