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?

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

“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’ve never heard of a charge like that before. Misleading an investigation?
waffles2go2 t1_j3jk9i5 wrote
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.

Because the justice system favors rich white people.

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.

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

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.
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.
[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

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.
PsychologicalAgent64 t1_j3jsn9c wrote
It was a Federal crime/case. Not Massachusetts.
ExpatJundi t1_j3jsw8c wrote
Yeah I literally just learned that, I haven't been paying attention.
[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.

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?
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.

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.
Moparmuha t1_j3lkjz0 wrote
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 wonder if she had a life insurance policy, this guy sounds like the type that would off her for the money.

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

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?

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.
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.
therapeutic-distance t1_j3m21f4 wrote
The 3 kids are in state custody...
They must have family that would step up. Another odd thing.
therapeutic-distance t1_j3m2dj4 wrote
I'm going to tune into Court TV, they usually have the most current info. I'm sure they will be on it.
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.
WhoBroughtTheCoolKid t1_j3m5s83 wrote
Well I thought you couldn’t report an adult missing for 3 days. That could be just TV shit though.

Personally, it reminds me of the Watts case :(

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.
quoth_tthe_raven t1_j3mp1lz wrote
I thought they were escorted out by an elderly woman, so I assumed they went with grandparents?
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.
ThreeDogs2022 t1_j3mtahk wrote
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.
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.

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.
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?

Idk why you’re getting downvoted. You are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT correct.
You-Enjoy-Myself t1_j4675gp wrote
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
