A killer’s smartest tool is also his biggest liability: the internet. In this stunning final segment, the Hidden Killers team reveals the most damning evidence against Brian Walshe—his own Google search history. In the hours and days after murdering his wife Ana, Brian used their son's iPad to meticulously research how to cover his tracks. The hosts read the horrifying, timeline-stamped list of his queries, including: "how long before a body starts to smell," "hacksaw best tool to dismember," and the bizarrely chilling, "can baking soda make a body smell good?"
This digital footprint created an undeniable roadmap of his actions, leading directly to his shopping trip at Home Depot for tarps, a saw, and cleaning supplies. The discussion also uncovers a shocking crossover with another high-profile Massachusetts case: the lead detective initially assigned to the Walshe murder was none other than Michael Proctor, the controversial investigator from the Karen Read trial. We explain how Walshe’s defense team tried to leverage the Proctor scandal to get crucial evidence dismissed, a move that could have jeopardized the entire case. This is a fascinating look at how modern technology can both build an airtight case and how legal gymnastics can threaten to tear it all down.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
