Earlier this week, the jury heard parts of interviews between investigators and Brian Walshe in which he mentioned William Fastow as one of his wife’s friends in Washington, DC, where she commuted for work.
Fastow sold Ana Walshe her DC townhouse and the two eventually entered into a romantic relationship, according to prosecutors. Fastow is expected to take the stand today.
In a recorded interview on January 4 with investigators, Brian Walshe said he had called Fastow looking for Ana. Fastow went to Ana’s townhouse to look for her.
In a January 5 interview, Brian Walshe reiterated that his wife was not seeing anyone else. Her said she would wear a wedding ring and talk about her husband while she was in DC.
Walshe told investigators on January 7 interview that at some point in the night on New Year’s Eve, Ana sent a photo of her and their son to Fastow.
Through extraction records of Brian Walshe’s electronic devices, prosecutors also showed that Brian Walshe was searching Fastow’s name on his phone on December 25, 2022.
In their opening statement, prosecutors said Ana spent Christmas Eve with Fastow in DC and she drove back to Massachusetts the next day after missing her flight. Ana Walshe also didn’t spend Thanksgiving with her family, the prosecution said. The commonwealth said she was in Dublin with Fastow before flying to see her sick mother in Serbia.
When asked, Walshe said several times that the only problem in his marriage was that they didn’t get to spend enough time together.
