The murder trial of Brian Walshe resumed today, focusing on evidence from his iPhone and text messages related to his wife, Ana Walshe, who has been missing since January 2023. A Massachusetts State Police investigator, Trooper Connor Keefe, provided key testimony regarding cell phone data and communications that may shed light on the case.

Trooper Keefe testified that location data from Walshe's phone placed him near an apartment building in Abington, where surveillance footage captured a man with a trash bag heading toward dumpsters. Ana Walshe's clothing was later discovered in those dumpsters. Keefe also revealed that Brian Walshe had been in contact with individuals concerned about Ana's well-being, including her sister, who urged him to report her missing.

On Christmas Day 2022, just days before Ana's disappearance, Walshe conducted an internet search for "William Fastow DC real estate." Fastow, who testified earlier in the trial, admitted to having an intimate relationship with Ana Walshe. He stated that Ana wanted to inform Brian about the affair herself, expressing concern about how he would react.

During the trial, Keefe read a series of text messages exchanged between Brian and Ana on Christmas morning. In one message, Brian expressed worry, stating, "I haven't heard from you at all." Ana replied that her flight had been canceled and she was driving from Washington, D.C., to Massachusetts. After Ana's disappearance, Brian sent several texts to her phone, including messages on January 2 and 3, asking where she was and expressing his love. He also warned that he would report her missing if he did not hear from her.

The prosecution has highlighted disturbing online searches made by Brian Walshe around the time of Ana's disappearance, including queries about how to dispose of a body. Despite these allegations, Walshe has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge, claiming he panicked upon discovering Ana dead after a New Year's Eve party.

The trial has seen testimony from various witnesses, including friends who urged Brian to report Ana missing. Keefe detailed text exchanges where friends expressed concern and encouraged him to contact authorities. On January 4, 2023, Walshe's phone conducted searches related to Ana's coworkers and her boyfriend, further complicating the timeline of events.

As the trial progresses, the jury is expected to hear more about the digital evidence and witness accounts that could play a crucial role in determining Brian Walshe's fate. The proceedings are set to continue tomorrow, with the court scheduled to adjourn early in the afternoon.
