Summary

Witness: Lead investigator Harrison Schmidt Breaking down the lead investigator's testimony which included interviews conducted with Brian Walshe at his home.

Tomorrow there's still around 40 minutes of interviews to hear.

Brian Walshe is on trial in Massachusetts for the first-degree murder of his wife, Ana Walshe, who disappeared in January 2023 after a New Year's Eve party at their Cohasset home. Walshe initially pleaded not guilty to all charges, including murder, misleading police, and improper disposal of a body. However, in a dramatic turn during jury selection in November 2025, he pleaded guilty to the two lesser charges—misleading a police investigation and improper disposal of a human body—while maintaining his not guilty plea to the murder charge, which will now proceed to trial

Prosecutors allege that Brian Walshe beat Ana to death, dismembered her body, and disposed of it, citing evidence such as a damaged, bloody knife found in their basement and incriminating Google searches on his devices related to dismemberment and body disposal.

The trial is expected to last anywhere from 2-4 weeks. I will be livestreaming daily and doing a nightly testimony recap in an hour or less.

0:00.0	What you know, alibiers, welcome to another episode of Pretty Lies and Alibis.
0:03.9	I'm Gigi. It's still Monday, December 1st.
0:07.0	We are going to recap lead investigator Harrison Schmidt's testimony before we jump in a few things to mention.
0:14.2	Brian's attorney indicated he will take the stand.
0:17.2	Now it's not a guarantee.
0:18.7	We'll find out.
0:19.6	I personally didn't think he would take the stand at all,
0:22.4	especially after pleading guilty to those other two charges. I thought they would just let the state
0:27.1	prove premeditation and first degree murder, but I'm totally here for it. I think it's going to be
0:32.2	a hot mess, and it usually is when a defendant takes the stand. Also, tomorrow there is a chance we will have a short
0:39.1	day due to whether possibly impacting travel home. The judge will make that call tomorrow.
0:44.7	According to the state, there's still about 40 more minutes of these interviews to play.

1:08.9	He started the case January 4th, 23, around 4 p.m. after being notified about a missing person.
1:15.5	Once at the police station, he coordinated with the patrol officers. He reviewed their reports, and then he started to get background information.
1:23.2	And he went to Brian's house around 6.30 p.m. with Officer Lawrence, who was the initial responding officer to that missing person call.
1:32.1	After arriving, he was greeted by Brian, and two of the boys were there and were eating in the kitchen.
1:37.4	They go through some photos showing the inside and the outside of the house.
1:42.2	Then they jump into that first interview that was recorded January 4th
1:45.8	with Brian. And what's crazy to me is listening to this interview. This is a man who has allegedly
