She was the mother of his three children, he is a monster. |
+1 to all of this. |
| Poor woman. Her life must have been a nightmare with this monster. May she rest in peace. |
Awful. Just say man instead of person. As a woman, I am tired of calling them a term that also applies to me. |

OMG this guy should get an extra sentence for being a moron:
It comes after it was revealed Walshe had searched the internet for 'how to dispose of a 115-pound woman's body'. |
| Can they arrest him for murder without a body? |
Yes, absolutely. It’s a harder case to make but there have been murder convictions absent the body being available to ‘prove’ the death. Circumstantial evidence can be very powerful especially if you have a mountain of it. - former prosecutor |
I wonder if his Mom was in on this? He was supposed to be close to her and she helped him financially in the past. |
That is what I am thinking. Mom is supplying the money (what happened to the $10m from the Beacon St. sale of mom's house??) - and they were currently renting. Trying not to speculate here, trying to just derive from facts that are public. |

lol right? I’ve bought drop clothes to do big painting projects and while I don’t own a mop, it’s obviously a normal thing to have at home. This is definitely a totality situation but a drop cloth is not a smoking gun. |
+1 It used to be the case that you needed the body, and it seems like some entertainment media still perpetuate that idea. But the rule in criminal law changed long ago. prosecutors often can build a case completely on circumstantial evidence for many kinds of crimes. |

Do criminals not realize that literally every inch of society (outside of rural America) is now on camera in the year 2023? Sometimes I play a mental game of how I would get away with a crime and it's really impossible to these days with GPS in phone and vehicles and surveillance cameras on every block and in every store.
I can imagine people get especially careless if a crime is not premeditated: they snap and kill a person and then have to dispose of a body. If this guy was planing on something he should have bought the supplies 6 months ago and from several different stores (add some bleach to your grocery order, etc). He is pure evil and a moron. |
It's the timing of the purchases, as well as the fact he lied to investigators about his whereabouts when he was making them. I own several drop cloths, but I bought them along with a few gallons of paint, a new roller cover, and some painter's tape. This was just before I took a few days off work to paint my living room, not a few days after my spouse went missing. My internet searches the day before were about whether I needed to use primer if I'm covering a lighter paint color with a darker one. And I didn't tell police officers I was getting ice cream for my kid when I was really at Home Depot. |
He already violated his parole, he can be held in custody for that alone. |
