Also, don't kill your spouse. Seems like a no-brainer but you'd be amazed how often this comes up.

Yeah well, am I a hero? Look, I don't know. I just saw something that needed to be said and I said it. Do I deserve a school named after me? Obviously.

This case has Charles Stewart vibes to it. The husband was charged with selling counterfeit art last year, probably had a side piece like Stewart. I’ll be shocked if it’s not the husband.

I mean, I love my wife and I’d definitely talk to the police to help find her. CYA would be the farthest thing from my mind.

why tf are you going on like this on a discussion about a person who obviously murdered their spouse? it's creepy as fuck. Do you have a body in your back yard?

I know it sounds weird, and hard to believe - but listen to a few dozen dateline cases. Maybe 10% of them have the husband arrested and on trial before they actually find who did it. This person above isn’t wrong. You HAVE to talk to a lawyer as early on as possible. Absolutely have to.

Edit: eh I’ll lower the percentage, not sure it’s as high as the original

Idk why you’re getting downvoted. You are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT correct.

And don't buy $450 of cleaning supplies from Home Depot and pay with your credit card, or leave the bloody knife in your basement.

I, for one, am shocked. No one could possibly have predicted this turn of events.

He lied about something relevant to the investigation, they know he's probably guilty and this will allow them to pursue more warrants (likely cell records) and put him on ice for a little while.

yup, exactly. a man in custody for one thing cannot hide or destroy evidence for the other things.

EtonRd t1_j3j654n wrote

Oh, the husband of a missing woman is acting suspiciously and might be responsible for her disappearance? How unbelievably shocking. Also, if this guy was convicted of fraud in 2021, why wasn’t he sent to prison?

Because the justice system favors rich white people.

I understand that this is a common sentiment, but Massachusetts is incredibly lenient across the board.

Edited to add that his open case is federal which is a lot less lenient than the Massachusetts state system.

majoroutage t1_j3k0qx7 wrote

It was art fraud. White collar stuff. It also sounds like he took a plea.

[deleted] t1_j3jrsdr wrote

Truth! Right, then you read an article that is like: this guy has 12 DUIs and has robbed a bank and killed someone, but he’s still driving and free. Gotcha

ExpatJundi t1_j3js0re wrote

Yes, exactly this. It's just not limited to wealthy people with connections, it's everybody.

[deleted] t1_j3js6aw wrote

BUT rich people get more wiggle room. For sure. Nationwide.

ExpatJundi t1_j3jslvo wrote

I mean it's certainly better to be rich in basically every facet of life, but Massachusetts is absolutely full of poor people who have been charged with dozens of fairly serious crimes and had the charges dropped dismissed for the flimsiest of reasons.

[deleted] t1_j3jt4uh wrote

Agreed, but rich people get away with way more, and that is more of a problem to me.

ExpatJundi t1_j3jtg3m wrote

I would have to say that this is something that sounds true and is easy to believe but without some sort of rigorous academic study we're both just stating opinions. Mine is informed by being a police officer who deals with criminals and the courts and looks at criminal histories every day but of course it is still only an informed opinion.

[deleted] t1_j3jtqn5 wrote

Yeah and me being a blue collar chick having worked about rich people doing twisted shit (see the cohassett case from this week) rich people get away with way more elaborate shit that has a wider societal impact that joe blow who does a lot of coke and drinks a lot.

While I find truth to this comment I feel like MA residents don’t fully understand how difficult it is to land in prison in this state man. It is honestly crazy like actually crazy not just hyperbole

Ajgrob t1_j3k7obt wrote

He got a suspended sentence, but that was changed after he took something like $1m in assets from his deceased father (who had written him out of his Will). He was actually due to go to prison soon I believe.

The_eldritch_bitch t1_j3ljrae wrote

So he killed his wife even though he would be locked up soon and away from her anyways? I don’t get what his motive was at all. Wonder if he just snapped? Sounds like his house of cards came swiftly tumbling down, and it destroyed the lives of his whole family.

Ajgrob t1_j3m2hml wrote

I'm sure we'll find out motive at some point and with this arrest and local searches it certainly seems like it could be that the wife was murdered.

furtyfive t1_j3w17rh wrote

if you do a records search, their mortgage was set up (in her name) as a revolving line of credit with him on the deed as a homesteader. if he had “borrowed” against that without telling her, it is possible he could have spent a fair amount of money. maybe he did and she found out about it?

Ask Jennifer Dulos's family how this all ends. Wealthy people are always the target for insurance scheme murders. We've all watched 20/20. This woman isn't missing.

quoth_tthe_raven t1_j3mpnbr wrote

I never understand the logic of killing for insurance money. Most people who pull this seem to get caught. Worst of all, the kids get roped into the entire mess and often are murdered too.

Bloody knife and blood found on the premises. Husband, who told police he went nowhere that day, was seen on security video shopping for tarps and cleaning supplies at Home Depot.

The 3 kids are in state custody...

They must have family that would step up. Another odd thing.

I thought they were escorted out by an elderly woman, so I assumed they went with grandparents?

I wonder if she had a life insurance policy, this guy sounds like the type that would off her for the money.

WhoBroughtTheCoolKid t1_j3k66dy wrote

Okay so on the news they said she left her house on January 1st to fly to DC and was reported missing on the 4th. Did she make it to Logan? Did she get on the plane? Did she get to DC?

Competitive-Mud-6915 t1_j3lz0a8 wrote

She had a flight booked for the 3rd, but apparently decided to go on the 1st instead to deal with a work issue. There’s been no evidence that she left the home in a ride share early that morning, as well as no neighborhood home security footage (like Nest). I can understand her work not reporting her missing for a couple of days, especially since she was based in DC. But how could her husband not say anything? The second I saw that I figured he had to be involved.

Well I thought you couldn’t report an adult missing for 3 days. That could be just TV shit though.

I’m mystified pos still think they can get away murdering their spouse. Have they not watched A&E in the last 20 years?

“police developed probably cause to believe that Brian Walshe had committed the crime of misleading police “ That is the excuse police developed to get him in the hot seat, the work continues. Police yet don’t have nothing and nobody ever gets convicted of such charge. Hope they find her.

I'm going to tune into Court TV, they usually have the most current info. I'm sure they will be on it.

quoth_tthe_raven t1_j3mou7u wrote

It’s so weird her credit/debit cards were deactivated rather than unused. If you want to make it seem like a disappearance, I’d think one would use the latter approach.

Glad they have him so he can’t tamper with any evidence.

MycologistIcy7013 t1_j3n9ucw wrote

I think he did it thinking a judge would sympathize with him at his other sentencing.. Thinking he is the only parent to care for the kids.

I’ve never heard of a charge like that before. Misleading an investigation?

It's part of MA law (https://www.mass.gov/doc/7365-intentionally-misleading-an-investigator-in-a-criminal-investigation-gl-c-268-s13b/download). While it sounds a lot like obstruction, I'm not a lawyer and don't know if there is any difference.

ExpatJundi t1_j3jrrw2 wrote

It's basically obstruction, the elements of the crime were recently tightened up quite a bit by the Supreme Judicial Court making it even harder to charge people over lying to the police.

therapeutic-distance t1_j3m1rfc wrote

Any possibility she had a private arrangement (off the record) with an Uber driver for pickup? And something went terribly wrong. That's the only other scenario I can think of.

Isn't it strange that a fire broke out in her former home, almost like she is trying to communicate from the dead.
