Body Found Near Long Island Expressway is Leah Walsh

Police did indeed find the remains of missing Long Island teacher Leah Hirschel Walsh in the woods near the Long Island Expressway today. William Walsh Jr., Leah's 29-year-old husband, has been charged with her murder. Looks like his act couldn't hold up under scrutiny, after all. No surprise, since videos show that Walsh couldn't muster anything approaching sincere-seeming grief or fear. His face was an impassive mask in an ABC video shot yesterday; he only used his voice to give the impression he was sobbing.

I still wish these stories weren't so damned predictable, and spouse killers didn't think they could get away with it. They rarely do. [1010 WINS]

Most employers would be genuinely horrified that one of their employees has sustained work injuries due their lack of care. http://www.murrayflynnmaguire.ie/work-injuries-dublin-ireland/
Personal injury claims for psychological injuries have to show deterioration in your psychological state of health subsequent to a specific accident or incident which led to it. Temporary shock from being involved in a near-miss would not qualify you to make personal injury claims for compensation unless there where extreme circumstances which ultimately led to measurable physical personal injury.<a href="http://www.murrayflynn.ie/car-accident-injury-ireland/">car accident injury claim</a>
Yeah rape seems to be a looked up upon by long island suburban children these days,. There is a awful band out of LI called Tension and I know for a fact that they have raped many of young girls( some with mental disorders because its easier) along with there upper middle class scumbag friends with no jobs living off there parents. Its really a shame that these people were never exposed but I now vow to make this known to as many people as possible! Rape is for the week! I hope your girlfriends and wifes are ready to hear the worthless no good pieces of garbage you really are and law enforcement for that matter. I wont stop till this is exposed. You have ruined lives and now its time the favor is returned.
I wonder how this poor woman's students will deal with her death. When I was in the 7th grade, our very popular teacher was killed in a car accident, and it was devastating. I know very little about autism, but I would think that this would be extremely difficult for students and their parents alike, not to mention of course Leah's colleagues, friends and family. At least her husband wasted no time proclaiming his innocence, a la Scott Peterson.
When did the "stigma" of divorce become so much worse than the "stigma" of murder????
I think so too Melly. That was my first thought seeing the picture. Why don't these guys take acting classes or something? At least they could try. It will be interesting to see what he says as for his reasoning etc. Watch he's going to plead some sort of mental issue heh heh. Maybe he could've got some lessons from Ashley Todd.
Didn't take him long to fold... http://www.1010wins.com/Cops--Wife-Killed-During-Fight/3214776
That is exactly what I thought, Melly! Whatever happened to divorce, or making a marriage work?
He actually looks like he's holding back a laugh in this picture. This one didn't even take much time before they fingered him - guess the police (and the public) were smarter than he thought. These stories always make me wonder if you ever can truly think you know someone.
