So was the flat tire and text all a lie???? Haven't read any of the stories yet...

---

Press conference at 11. They haven't really said much.

He's a dirtbag. It's so sad and completely sick what people do these days.

I'm so confused regarding how he managed to have her car on the side of the road and his and kill her and all that. I think someone else was in on it. It just doesn't add up.

So sad.

---

i'm convinced it's all staged and i think arrows are going to point to his brother. i wouldn't be surprised if she was killed in their house, maybe sunday. Yelley and I have the whole thing figured out!

His brother--very sketchy guy

---

Its possible the brother, thats what i have been hearing, but also from where he put her car on the 135 its only 2 miles from his house. so he could of walked.

But a HELP vehicle saw him running from the ford focus to a yellow car, which seems like his mustang.

---

Right. It's all a setup but someone else has to be involved. The crazy brother.....

Isn't it weird that the father drove by, saw her car and called the husband rather than his daughter? It's all so fishy......

Could you imagine if her father was involved?

I do feel bad for some of the girls on here. They worked with her.

I seriously am disgusted! I don't understand people at all! It seems this country is getting worse and worse! I am going to be petrified to have kids, I swear!!!

One of my Facebook friends swears that we went to HS with her husband but I am not so sure... if we did, he'd be a year older than us so who knows!

---

He went to Walt Whitman HS (it said in the newspaper)

---

OMG he DID go to my HS then!!! Holy cow!!!

Theory:

Early Monday morning he drove her car to the the spot where it was left and let the air out of one of the tires.

He then went hom, killed her, put her in the mustang, used her phone to text message himself, put the phone back in her purse, dumped her body, got rid of the purse and went home.

---

I think the father called the husband cause he knew his daughter was working. Thats the only way it makes sense to me. You would think he would call her but Im going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he just did it to not bother her at work....
As for the husband having someone, Im starting to think it was the brother now that I read all this..
I think he did it on saturday night, cause she never called her friend back... and sunday night/early monday, he dropped the car off....

My question is, if a HELP vehicle saw him running from the one car to the other, why didnt he question it?? I mean, aren't those also police officers???

could be. I'm not super sure about that, but i don't think she got a flat tire and he went to help her and decided to kill her there. this was definitely premeditated and well thought out (at least he thought so)

I'd like to give her father the benefit of the doubt as well, believe me.

The HELP driver is not a police officer, most of the time...and I may be wrong here but...they are state or county road workers.

Oh yea totally! I originally thought he walked home from where he left the car. its not like they can fingerprint the car, since the both of them used it.. So yea, he set the entire thing up.

There is clearly a lot that doesn't add up.

Either way, very, very sad.

I'm sure they'll test for fibers, blood, hair, etc. I'm sure Forensics will be able to obtain LOTS of evidence no matter how well he planned this.

no matter what happened this is terrible and disgusting.....if it proves to be the husband its really scary that you dont know what kind of psycho you might be marrying.....this is so upsetting....just like the peterson thing - when he killed her while she was pregnant - stories like this are sickening

You are correct, things all don't add up and it is so very sad.

People are just sick. Its sad, he couldnt even trust her own husband...

I just hope her family get through this rough time and she is resting in peace. As for her husband, he will get what he deserves

Leah Walsh's husband faked everything, cops sayThis story was reported by staff writers SOPHIA CHANG, MATTHEW CHAYES, BILL MASON, LAURA RIVERA and JENNIFER SMITH. It was written by SMITH.
11:20 AM EDT, October 30, 2008
Nassau County police officials provided details Thursday afternoon on the murder of Leah Walsh, a Bethpage woman who was a schoolteacher in Glen Cove.

Nassau Police commissioner Lawrence Mulvey and Det. Lt. John Azzata of the homicide squad confirmed that William Walsh, Leah's husband, confessed to the crime Wednesday after her body was discovered and 'should not enjoy one nanosecond of freedom for the rest of his life.'

They also alleged everything in the aftermath of her death, from the text messages to the pleas for her return home.

William Walsh was arrested and charged with her murder yesterday after the 29-year-old woman's body was found in a wooded area in North Hills, Nassau County Police said last night.

Lt. Kevin Smith said, reading a brief statement at police headquarters in Mineola.

'William Walsh, age 29, her husband, is in police custody at this time,' Smith said. 'He's being charged with murder.'

The exact cause of her death remains under investigation, Smith said.

Police said they would discuss the case in more detail at a news conference scheduled for this morning.Confirmation last night that the body found was Leah Walsh and the prime suspect in her death was her husband capped a dramatic series of events that began early Monday morning when her abandoned car was found on the shoulder of the Seaford- Oyster Bay Expressway.

Her body was found by a worker at the North Hills Country Club just before 8 a.m. yesterday near the Long Island Expressway's north service road between Shelter Rock Road and New Hyde Park Road.

William Walsh Jr. had been visibly emotional since his wife's disappearance, pleading with any witnesses to come forward and passing out missing persons fliers bearing an image of a beaming Leah Walsh on her wedding day.

Earlier in the week, Walsh told police that his wife, a special-education teacher who worked with autistic children, left for work early Monday morning for her job at the School for Language and Communication Development in Glen Cove.

Walsh said in interviews that he last heard from his wife early Monday morning, when she sent him a text message.

Yesterday, police said they were interested in speaking with a Los Angeles man who reportedly text-messaged with Leah Walsh on Saturday night. In the exchange, she mentioned having a fight with her husband, according to media reports.

William Walsh Jr.'s stepmother said he was distraught Tuesday night when he came by the family's Farmingdale home. The visit followed an hours-long meeting with Nassau detectives at a Levittown police station.

'He was just crying,' said Madelyn Harper-Walsh in an interview before police announced Walsh's arrest. 'He would look at the TV and go under the blanket and cry. I was holding him,' she said, her eyes welling with tears.

Walsh stayed at the house past midnight, and family members said yesterday they had not seen him since.

Before his arrest, Walsh sobbed yesterday morning as he walked from the couple's Bethpage apartment to his car, where a stack of missing persons posters sat in the passenger seat.

'I miss her more than anything,' Walsh said. He urged any witnesses who may have seen something to 'just let us know, call the cops,' adding before he drove away, 'I just wanna know where she is. I want my wife.'

Homicide detectives delivered the news of Leah Walsh's death to her parents last night at their home in Rockville Centre, where the family had been waiting in anguish for news of their daughter.

Earlier yesterday afternoon, her father, Howard Hirschel, emerged briefly from the house to hug a neighbor who dropped off a plate of food.

Hirschel 'seems very broken up,' said the neighbor, who gave her name only as Eva. Calling Leah Walsh 'the sweetest girl,' the neighbor said she had watched her grow up. 'We're holding out hope that she's alive,' she said.

Efforts to reach William Walsh Jr.'s family after his arrest were unsuccessful. Yesterday afternoon his younger brother, Stephen Walsh, said: 'The only thing we know right now is he's missing, a body's been found, we don't know if it's hers. We want answers.'
