Watch live: Day 3 of testimony in Brian Walshe’s murder trial

DEDHAM, Mass. — Day 3 of testimony in the Brian Walshe murder trial has included records from JetBlue, Lyft, and Uber, as well as statements from state and local police and a K9 handler.

Jurors on Wednesday morning heard the remaining testimony of Massachusetts State Trooper Nicholas Guarino, followed by eight additional witnesses who testified between 10 a.m. and noon:

  • Amy Waterman, a Sergeant with the Massachusetts State Police
  • Swampscott Police Officer
  • Custodians of records for Uber and Lyft
  • Cohasset Police officer who filed Ana Walshe’s missing person report
  • Corporate Security Manager for JetBlue
  • U.S. Customs and Border Protection employee
  • Cohasset Police K-9 handler, who searched the Walshe property with his dog, Einstein

The K-9 handler testified that the search aimed to detect human scent around the Walshe family home. Despite checking multiple areas, nothing was found during the 30-minute search.

Jurors also heard disturbing details from Trooper Guarino about internet searches allegedly made inside the Walshe home, including:

  • “How to dispose of a body”
  • “How to get blood out of hardwood floors”
  • “How to stop a body from decomposing”

Jurors on Tuesday heard about troubling internet searches made on a device in the Walshe family, which were discovered by police after Ana Walshe went missing.

The searches, made between New Year’s Day and January 4th, included queries such as ‘how to dispose of a body’ and ‘how to get blood out of hardwood floors.’

In court, jurors were shown images of items recovered from a dumpster near the home of Brian Walshe’s mother, including Ana Walshe’s boots and her COVID-19 vaccination card.

Jurors also saw a photo of a cut on one of Walshe’s thumbs.

Brian Walshe has denied murdering his wife, claiming she died of natural causes, although he has pled guilty to disposing of her body and lying to police.

Testimony is expected to resume today at 9:00 a.m.
