Brian Walshe is headed to trial for the alleged murder of his wife Ana, but there’s a major problem: Ana’s body has never been found. In this week’s Dead Diary, we break down the staggering web of circumstantial evidence, disturbing digital breadcrumbs, and the prosecution’s high-stakes legal strategy. But there’s another twist - one investigator links this case to the Karen Read trial and an entire department now under fire for misconduct. From hacksaws to hacked integrity, we’re slicing through the noise to expose what really matters. The justice system is on trial here, too.

When 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was found dead inside a rolled-up gym mat at his Georgia high school, authorities ruled it a freak accident. But his family say something else: signs of foul play, missing organs, altered video footage, and a pattern of unanswered questions.

In this episode of Dead Diary, we walk through the full timeline of Kendrick’s case, from the initial autopsy and the family’s fight for a second opinion, to federal investigations, national protests, and the still-lingering question: was this a tragic accident, or a cover-up designed to protect someone powerful?

No hype. No speculation. Just the facts - and the disturbing details no one can explain.
