In Season Two of her true crime series, The God Hook, journalist Carol Costello investigates the complex case of the Ohio Craigslist Killings—and in doing so, unearths the untold story of the crimes that preceded the murders—and the victims who’ve never received justice. Richard Beasley was convicted of murdering three men and attempting to kill a fourth in the fall of 2011, but before that heinous spree, authorities were building a human trafficking case against him.

The trial of Brian Walshe isn’t just a courtroom proceeding — it’s a showdown between two narratives that couldn’t be further apart. On one side, prosecutors have built the kind of timeline you rarely see outside a forensic textbook: predawn Google searches that read like a step-by-step guide to covering up a crime, store receipts for cutting tools and chemicals, cell phone data tracing every mile driven, and DNA pulled from a trash compactor hours from the family home. It’s clinical. It’s cold. And it’s devastating.
On the other side, the defense has presented a story rooted not in data but in emotional possibility — the claim that Anna Walshe suddenly died with no warning, and Brian, overwhelmed and terrified, spiraled into a series of decisions that look indistinguishable from deliberate concealment. They’re not denying the cover-up. They’re reframing it as panic.
And that’s where the real battle begins: because juries are made of human beings, not forensic analysts. Panic can be messy. Panic can be irrational. Panic can make people do things that look nothing like the person they were the day before. But can panic really explain Google searches that happened before the defense’s timeline of death? Can panic explain the house visitor leaving shortly before the alleged moment Anna died? Can panic explain the organized trips to stores in multiple towns, for supplies that prosecutors say match the disposal effort?
And if the defense can make even one juror wonder — just wonder — whether it’s strange but not impossible? That’s a very different outcome.
Tonight, we break down what’s at stake, why the stories differ so drastically, and why this case may come down to a single question: Which version can a jury actually live with?
