Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead Serious. We have covered the Brian

Walsh case before on this podcast, but today, today's a different day because today is day one

of his murder trial. I have been waiting for this. If you want to catch up

on this case, I've done a lot of work on it, so I will link the full playlist of earlier episodes

in the description. But here's the thing about cases like this. You don't always need a body

to convict someone of murder. Not when the evidence points to things like dismemberment

and disposal of body parts and a cover story that collapses under the slightest pressure.

Brian Walsh said from the get-go that his wife just up and left on a work trip on New Year's Day

and just never ever came home simple as that.

Despite the fact that they had three little kids together and despite the fact that she never said goodbye nor ever called them.

Yeah, he just said she left. Simple.

He swore over and over to the police that he had no idea where she could be despite the fact that he didn't even bother to report her missing.

And he kept that story going year after year, after year, even after they found her bloody

clothes and her personal effects in a dumpster behind his mom's house.

And they found bloody knives and

tivet clothing covered in his DNA and her DNA. But suddenly on the eve of his murder trial,

Brian Walsh decided to come clean, sort of, and said, okay, I chopped up her body, and I threw away her body parts. But hey, hold on there. I didn't kill her.

Yeah, just let all of this sink in. Yeah. So what he's saying to us is I was lying then, over and over and over again, but I ain't lying now.

He truly thinks we'll believe this.

This preposterous story.

And there's more.

Like, how she died?
