| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead Serious back in 2023. I spent a whole lot of time in Boston, |
| 0:15.0 | specifically a few of the areas that surround Boston. And let me tell you, I was not on vacation. |
| 0:23.9 | When I heard the news about Anna Walsh, I knew there was a story that wasn't being told. It was a story that was being hidden |
| 0:29.6 | from the public because nobody dies the way Anna Walsh died without a whole lot of planning and a deep sense of cunning, |
| 0:41.3 | methodical strategizing, and a heart of pure evil. Let me take you back to where I was standing |

| 1:56.8 | it is the kind of story that stays with you because what Anna's husband, Brian Walsh, allegedly Googled, |
