Affair Partner Testifies as Jury Hears Voicemail, Sees Stained Items in Brian Walshe Trial

The prosecution is now emphasizing relationship evidence to tie its digital and physical findings to motive in a no‑body case.

Overview

  • William Fastow described his intimate relationship with Ana Walshe and said he received two calls from Brian Walshe on January 4, with a voicemail to him played in court.
  • Judge Diane C. Freniere ruled jurors may hear text messages between Ana Walshe and Fastow, saying it is reasonable to infer the defendant had seen some of the exchange.
  • A state crime lab scientist walked jurors through photos of clothing, slippers and tools recovered from dumpsters with red‑brown stains, noting he did not testify to lab results.
  • Records custodians from Uber, Lyft, JetBlue and U.S. Customs and Border Protection testified there was no indication Ana Walshe traveled after late December 2022.
  • State police outlined graphic early‑January 2023 searches on Brian Walshe’s devices about disposing of bodies, dismemberment and cleaning blood, and phone data shown in court included a January 4 search for “William Fastow.”
