The husband of mom Ana Walshe appeared in court via Zoom today for a brief status hearing ahead of his murder trial.
Brian Walshe is to death, dismembering her body and disposing of it in a dumpster in January.
Police have not been able to recover her remains – they say they were taken from the dumpster by trash services and before they could catch up to them.
Walshe, 47, denies murder, and claims he doesn’t know what happened to his wife, who has not been seen alive since the early hours of January 1.
Today, his attorneys complained that they are yet to receive any discovery from the state that would help them prepare a defense.

Ana went missing in the early hours of January 1.Prosecutors say her remains were ‘shredded and incinerated’
‘We’ve received very little discovery.We’ve received basically nothing. We haven’t even received the search warrants – the basic stuff we should have had immediately,’ Walshe’s lawyer Tracy Miner said.
The judge ordered the state to ‘cooperate’ and turn over their evidence.
The case has been continued until March 1st, when Walshe will return to court via Zoom again for a second status hearing.
After that, the next step is a probable cause hearing, where it will be determined whether there is enough evidence against him to proceed to a murder trial.
Prosecutors previously said Brian and Ana were headed for a divorce, but that Brian chose instead to kill her.
They pointed to a mountain of evidence including grim Google searches carried out on their son’s iPad that included research for disposing of a body and how long it takes for corpses to decompose.
Blood traces were found on items of Ana’s clothing that were discovered in a different dumpster, along with Brian’s DNA.
