The statistical probability? At least 30 nonillion times more likely to be Ana's DNA than an unknown person's. Several items also contained DNA from both Ana and Brian Walshe, including bloodstained slippers and a Tyvek suit. One item — gauze with a red-brown stain — matched Brian alone. Prosecutors had previously shown the jury a photo of a cut on his thumb.
New surveillance footage showed Brian Walshe shopping at HomeGoods on January 2nd and 4th, 2023, buying rugs, towels, and bath mats — using store credit from his dead wife's previous returns. Prosecutors suggest he replaced the living room rug after Ana's death, pointing to photos showing a different carpet in the home when police searched it days later.
The defense pushed back on cross-examination, arguing DNA testing can't determine when or how biological material was deposited and suggesting items may have cross-contaminated in the trash compactor. But prosecutors countered that cleaning products — including the hydrogen peroxide and ammonia Brian purchased on January 1st — can destroy blood evidence.
Wednesday brings testimony from Gem Mutlu, Ana's former boss and the last person besides Brian known to have seen her alive. The prosecution may rest its case as early as tomorrow.
