A Massachusetts man was arraigned Wednesday on charges of murder and disinterring a body without authority in connection with the disappearance of his wife, Ana Walshe, on New Year’s Day.

Brian Walshe, 47, was accused of killing and dismembering his wife before disposing of her remains in dumpsters. Prosecutor Lynn Beland said in court that Walshe wanted to end their marriage, rather than divorce.

Beland said that Walshe used his son’s iPad to search for ways to dismember and dispose of a body on the morning of New Year’s Day. Among the searches conducted were “10 ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to,” “how long before a body starts to smell,” and “how to stop a body from decomposing.”

Clothes and other items belonging to Ana Walshe with her DNA were found at a trash processing facility, Beland said.

Walshe was ordered held without bail and is due back in court on May 19. The investigation is ongoing and authorities are still searching for Ana Walshe’s remains.
