Here is a timeline of video evidence that police and the FBI have disclosed so far: |

Brian Walshe is expected to be sentenced Thursday in the grisly killing of his wife, whom he was found guilty of murdering. Ana Walshe, a real estate agent who immigrated from Serbia, was last seen early Jan. 1, 2023, after a New Year’s Eve dinner at the couple’s home. Two days after he was found guilty of first degree murder, Walshe will be back in court to hear his sentence. That charge carries a mandatory sentence of life in state prison without parole. |

Our mild spell isn’t quite done. Highs again leap to the upper 40s today. We’ll be graced with more sunshine and a light southerly breeze. The focus then shifts to a storm system rolling across the country for Friday. This has a checkered history of flooding rains in the Pacific Northwest, high winds in the Rockies, and a blizzard in the High Plains. It’ll create headlines here, too. |

Double power poles are meant to be a temporary fix, but tens of thousands of them can be found across the commonwealth, and an NBC10 Boston investigation reveals they often remain for years before replacement. On Wednesday, the NBC10 Investigators took a drive through Needham, West Roxbury and Dedham. It was a scavenger hunt of sorts. In this case, we were searching for different types of double power poles lining the streets. It did not take long to cross all the items off our list. |

Harvard morgue manager who sold body parts like ‘baubles' gets 8-year prison term |
|
|
A former manager of the Harvard Medical School morgue in Boston was sentenced to eight years in prison for stealing and selling body parts “as if they were baubles.” Authorities said Cedric Lodge was at the center of a ghoulish scheme in which he shipped brains, skin, hands and faces to buyers in Pennsylvania and elsewhere after cadavers donated to Harvard were no longer needed for research. His wife, Denise Lodge, was sentenced to just over a year in prison for assisting him. They appeared Tuesday in federal court in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. |
