moguls empire collapsed in a Manhattan courtroom. A healthcare ceo
7
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.359
was executed on the streets of Midtown. America's youngest conservative

00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.840
kingmaker was assassinated at thirty one. An Idaho killer finally

confessed after nine hundred and sixty two days of lies,
10
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:49.000
Hollywood's ugliest feud is heading to trial, and the Epstein

00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:58.119
files still being buried. Ten episodes, ten stories, assassinations, trials, verdicts,

Massachusetts closing arguments in the Brian Walsh murder trial. Anna
15
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:16.040

16
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.280
never found, but her husband's Google searches tell the story.

murder without a body? Yesterday Walsh chose not to testify.
20
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.200
Today the jury decides whether he's a murderer or a
21
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.840
man who panicked when his wife died suddenly in bed,
22
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.280
New Hampshire. Dustin Duran was sentenced Thursday to forty five
23
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.079
years to life in prison. We brought you his trial
24
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.239
back in October. The marine veteran shot his girlfriend, Caitlin Nafzinger,
25
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.560
in the head while she sat on the couch holding
26
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:53.640
one of their daughters, then fled one hundred seventy miles
27
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.040
with both kids. Triggered an Amber alert self defense. He
28
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.680
claimed the jury didn't buy it. In California, Maya Hernandez
29
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:03.879

of one hundred and seven degrees. His two year old
33
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:18.800
brother survived. Defense says it was a tragic mistake. Prosecution
34
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:24.240
says it was murder. I'm reed Carter. Today google searches
35
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.719

38
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.360
Superior Court, Day ten of the Brian Walsh murder trial.
39
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.560
Closing arguments begin today. If you've been following this case,
40
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.439
you know the basics. If you haven't, here's what you
41
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.520
need to know. Anna Walsh was thirty nine years old,
42
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.159
Serbian immigrant real estate executive at Tishman Spire in Washington,
43
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.919
d C. Married to Brian Walsh, fifty years old, three
44
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.960
sons together. The family lived in Cohasset, Massachusetts, though Anna
45
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.879
had purchased a townhouse in DC for work. January first,
46
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:16.439
twenty twenty three, New Year's Day, Anna disappeared, or so
47
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.960
Brian claimed. He told police. Anna left early that morning
48
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.960
for a work emergency in DC, took a ride share
49
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.639
to the airport, flew to Washington, never came back. Except
50
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.840
none of that was true. Anna's phone last pinged near
51
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.199
the Walsh home at three am on January second. She
52
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.599
never booked a ride share, never boarded a plane, never
53
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.840
used her credit cards, never showed up at work. Her
54
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.560
employer reported her missing on January fourth, after Brian called
55
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.080
asking if anyone had heard from her. What Brian didn't
56
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.280
know police would find his Google search history. January first,

00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:36.720
Yes they can. Surveillance video tracked Walsh's movements. January first,

a hacksaw, a hammer, tin snips, a hatchet, shears, towels,
92
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.319
soaked in blood, a piece of carpet with blood clots
93
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:26.000
embedded in it, and a piece of human tissue. DNA
94
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:31.759
analysis came back this week. Day seven testimony, DNA analyst
95
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:36.519
Saman Salim walked the jury through the results. The tissue
96
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:42.000
found in the Swampscott dumpster. Female DNA single contributor Anna
97
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.040
Walsh was thirty non million times more likely to be
98
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:50.600
the contributor than anyone else. Brian Walsh excluded. The hacksaw
99
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:54.120
female DNA on A Walsh thirty nine million times more likely,
100
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.439
the hammer female DNA on A Walsh thirty no million
101
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:03.199
times more likely. The HIVEX suit multiple stains Anna Walsh
102
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.680
thirty no million times more likely. On one stain Brian
103
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.720
Walsh excluded from that stain, but on the tape with
104
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.000
gauze from one of the bags. Male DNA single contributor
105
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.920
Brian Walsh twenty three octillion times more likely. Translation Brian
106
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.439
wore the hazmat suit while dismembering his wife. Day eight
107
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.519
brought more context. Anna's former boss and friend, Jem Mutlu
108
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.560
testified he was the last person to see Anna alive.
109
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.959
New Year's Eve twenty twenty two, visited the Walsh home
110
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.079
around eight thirty pm, spent hours with the family, left
111
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.759
around one or one thirty am on New Year's Day.
112
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.680
Said the atmosphere was festive. Anna seemed happy, no injuries
113
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.560
or concerns observed. But Anna's best friend, Alyssa Kirby told
114
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:55.279
a different story. Said she met Anna on December twenty ninth.
115
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.800
Anna was upset about her marriage, frustrated with Brian's legal troubles.
116
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.000
He was on house arrest awaiting sentencing for federal art
117
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.360
fraud charges. At the time. Anna had told her Brian's
118
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.199
mother claimed a psychic said Anna was having an affair
119
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.399
and didn't want her in the picture. That affair was real.
120
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:17.519
Day four testimony. William Fasto, real estate broker, took the stand,
121
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:23.120
helped Anna by her DC townhouse, became friends, became confidence,
122
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:28.079
became lovers. Anna was planning to leave Brian. Brian found
123
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:32.720
out on Christmas Day twenty twenty two. He searched William Fasta,
124
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.799
d C Real Estate, Anna Walsh at Tishman Spire. Anna
125
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:41.919
Walshe found dead December thirty first, twenty twenty two. Best

divorce Strategies for men, Best states to divorce for a man.
127
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.679
Washington d C divorce attorneys and laws. Then January first,
128
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:56.519
twenty twenty three, the body disposal searches began. Day nine, Thursday,
129
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.720
the defense's last chance to present their case. Brian Walsh
130
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.879
chose not to testify. That's significant because the defense theory
131
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:09.000
is extraordinary. Opening statements, Defense attorney Larry Tipton told the
132
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:12.600
jury Anna died of sudden death syndrome. Brian woke up
133
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.200
January first, found his wife dead in bed, panicked, and
134
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.399
made terrible decisions. He searched how to dispose of a
135
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:22.399
body because he was in shock. He dismembered her because
136
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.960
he didn't know what else to do. He didn't kill her,
137
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.399
he just covered up her death. The defense acknowledged Brian
138
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:33.279
lied to police, acknowledged the incriminating searches, acknowledged the dismemberment,
139
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.720
but argued Anna and Brian had a loving relationship. Text
140
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:42.440
messages showed affection, no financial problems, no motive for murder
141
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:48.399
except the affair, the divorce searches, the one million dollar
142
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.279
life insurance policy with Brian as beneficiary, the fact that
143
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.000
Anna was planning to leave him. Prosecutors will argue today
144
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.360
that the timeline proves premeditation. The searches began at four
145
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.480
fifty five am on January first. If Anna died suddenly
146
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:08.320
in bed, why was Brian searching best ways to dispose
147
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.799
of a body before dawn? Why not call nine one one?
148
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.120
Why not call a funeral home? Why search for how
149
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:19.240
long DNA lasts? The defense will argue reasonable doubt no
150
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:23.679
body was ever found. The DNA proves Anna's biological material
151
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.679
was in those bags, but doesn't prove Brian killed her.
152
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.600
Maybe she died naturally. Maybe Brian's panicked cover up was
153
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.279
the desperate act of a man in shock, not a murderer.
154
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.759
But here's the problem with that theory. The searches started
155
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:40.360
before Anna was supposedly found dead. The defense says Brian
156
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.840
woke up and found her, But when, what time, and
157
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.679
why was he already searching for body disposal methods at
158
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.679
four fifty five am? Before the trial began. In November,
159
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.960
Brian pleaded guilty to two charges, misleading a police officer
160
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.519
and conveyance of a human body. Those charges carry up
161
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:02.120
to thirteen years combined mind, but the murder charge carries
162
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:05.879
mandatory life without parole. The jury will get the case
163
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:10.120
after closing arguments Today, twelve people deciding whether Brian Walsh
164
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.679
murdered his wife or merely dismembered her corpse after she
165
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:17.720
died suddenly in her sleep. Make it make sense. Anna
166
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.000
Walsh was thirty nine years old, mother of three, real
167
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.399
estate executive, had an affair, Yes, was planning to leave

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.039
her husband, Yes, but none of that justifies what happened
169
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.919
to her. Cut apart with a hacksaw, stuffed in garbage bags,
170
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:36.000
thrown in dumpsters, her tissue found rotting in a trash facility.
171
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.320
If Brian Walsh is telling the truth, he found his
172
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.679
wife dead and decided the appropriate response was dismemberment and disposal.
173
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.120
If prosecutors are right, he murdered her because she was
174
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.240
leaving him, then spent days trying to hide the evidence.
175
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:55.240
Either way, Anna Walsh deserved better. Her body was never recovered.
176
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.159
Her sons will grow up knowing their father either killed
177
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.799
their mother or chopped up her corpse. No justice system
178
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.840
can fix that. Rest in peace, Anna, someone has to
179
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:08.799
say your name. We'll be right back with sentencing. In
180
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.639
the Dustin Duran case, the marine veteran who shot his
181
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.399
girlfriend in the head and fled with their daughters forty
182
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:32.360
five years to life. Welcome back to celebrity trials. I'm reed, Carter.
183
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.879
Quick update on a case we covered extensively in October.
184
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:41.000
Dustin Duran, thirty eight years old marine veteran, convicted of
185
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.000
second degree murder, reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, and
186
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:51.759
child endangerment February twenty ninth, twenty twenty four, leap Day, Berlin,
187
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.279
New Hampshire. Duran shot his girlfriend, Caitlin Nafzger in the
188
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.440
head while she sat on the couch. Their four year
189
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.200
old daughter, Elwin, was sitting next to her mother when
190
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.399
the bullet entered Caitlyn's left temple. Their one year old
191
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.840
daughter was also in the apartment. Duran loaded both girls
192
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:12.720
into his car, drove one hundred seventy miles through the night,
193
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.759
triggered an amber alert. Was arrested the next day in
194
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.720
a keen Applebee's parking lot after a dispatcher recognized his vehicle.
195
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:26.039
At trial, Durn claimed self defense, said Caitlin was demanding money,
196
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.799
threatening to report him for kidnapping holding their daughter hostage.
197
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.480
Said his marine training kicked in and he perceived a threat.
198
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.600
The jury didn't buy it. Three hours of deliberation guilty
199
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:42.200
on all counts. Thursday, December eleventh, Coop's County Superior Court
200
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:46.600
sentencing day, nearly a dozen members of Caitlyn's family addressed
201
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:51.679
the court. Her mother, Laurie Smith, described identifying her daughter's body.
202
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.000
I stood near her, looked at her face, crying and shaking,
203
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.200
and I told her goodbye, my girl. My heart was
204
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:02.120
breaking again and I could barely breathe. Then I left
205
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:06.720
her behind. Caitlyn's aunt, Brenda Plemondon told the court she
206
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.080
and another family member were the last to see Caitlyn alive.
207
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.039
They dropped her off to meet Duran. Within minutes of
208
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:18.200
their arrival, the child said, daddy went pew pew, said
209
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.840
daddy didn't like mommy anymore. Did my daddy like you?
210
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.879
She knew if daddy didn't like you, he would kill you.
211
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.360
A four year old understanding that her father killed her
212
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:34.240
mother because he didn't like her anymore. Duran addressed the court, apologized,
213
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.200
said there's no greater pain than losing a child, told
214
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:42.960
Caitlyn's mother, I grieve for you and with you. Then
215
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:47.000
he spoke to his daughters, love and stick together, even
216
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.799
separated by distance, will always be together. The judge wasn't moved.
217
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:55.399
You shot the unarmed mother of your two young children
218
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.519
in the head. Judge Jonathan Frizzle said, I'm going to
219
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.559
repeat that you shot the unarmed mother of your two
220
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:06.879
young children in the head. Sentence forty five years to life.
221
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.559
Durren will be eligible for parole at age sixty six.
222
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.080
Also ordered to pay twelve thousand dollars in restitution. According
223
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.879
to reports, Durrenn smiled and chatted with his lawyer throughout
224
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:24.000
the hearing, seemed satisfied with his fate. Not bad for
225
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.519
a man who executed his girlfriend in front of their
226
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:31.159
four year old. Defense argued Dren's military service and PTSD
227
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.639
should be considered mitigating factors requested twenty five years to life.
228
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:40.799
Prosecutor Bethany Durand flipped that argument, if Drenn really has PTSD,
229
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.480
he'll understand what his two daughters will suffer for the
230
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:47.519
rest of their lives after witnessing their mother's execution. Caitlin's
231
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:51.240
sister in law is raising both girls now, something friends
232
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:56.080
and family said Caitlin had specifically requested. Caitlin Nafzger was
233
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.879
thirty one years old, mother of two, shot in the
234
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.519
head on a leap day because she wouldn't leave her
235
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:07.799
ex boyfriend's apartment. Her daughters should be with her today. Instead,
236
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.480
they're being raised by their aunt while their father serves time.
237
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:30.639
Rest in peace. Caitlin New Case, Bakersfield, California, Kern County
238
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.679
Superior Court. Maya Hernandez is on trial for second degree murder,
239
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:40.559
involuntary manslaughter, and two counts of child endangerment. June twenty ninth,
