Brian Walshe allegedly purchased heavy-duty cleaning supplies, a Tyvek protective suit, and a utility knife from multiple Massachusetts stores on the same day his wife was last seen alive, prosecutors have revealed. These purchases followed early-morning internet searches for 'How long before a body starts to smell?' and 'Dismemberment and best ways to dispose of a body’, according to police.
Over the subsequent days, Walshe reportedly continued online inquiries into dismembering a body with a hacksaw. He did not report his wife missing until 4 January, when her employer contacted police.
