Walshe filed a plea of “not guilty,” However, the judge ordered that he be held without bail until the next status hearing. It was to take place on February 9, and is scheduled for a virtual appearance.

Reporter Ashleigh Banfield described what it was like to be inside the courtroom during Walshe’s arraignment, noting that at one point, she had caught him staring at her: “I couldn’t take my eyes off of him (Brian Walshe) and realized at one point he was staring at me.”

She continued to explain that the prosecutor had uncovered so many details that she was unable to keep up.

“It was a bit of a chill, hearing the details of what the prosecutors allege he did to his wife, Ana Walshe,” She said it during a NewsNation segment Wednesday. “I also couldn’t write fast enough. That’s how many details were unloaded in this court hearing.”

Among the details Banfield recounted: Ana Walshe’s DNA — along with her husband’s – on a Tyvek suit he allegedly purchased during a trip to Home Depot that was confirmed by security cameras; internet searches — using his son’s iPad — asking how long before a dead body might begin to smell or how to stop a body from decomposing, how long DNA might “last,” and whether or not body parts could be thrown away; and Ana Walshe’s blood on discarded clothing and jewelry.

Walshe was previously charged with misleading police after it was later discovered that his first interaction with authorities seemed to have been an intentional attempt to lead them in the wrong direction.
