The husband of a Massachusetts woman who has been missing since New Year’s Day suspected she was having an affair and persuaded his mother to hire a private investigator to prove it, according to prosecution documents released Thursday.In December, Brian Walshe “would repeatedly access the Instagram page” of one of Ana Walshe’s male friends from Washington, D.C., where she was working, prosecutors said. His mother hired the investigator on Dec. 26 “with his input and direction” to conduct surveillance and, the next day, his oldest child’s iPad was used for an internet search on “divorce.”Walshe, 47, has been charged with first-degree murder as well as misleading a police investigation/obstruction of justice and improper conveyance of a human body. A first-degree murder conviction in Massachusetts carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.Walshe is accused of killing Ana Walshe, dismembering her and disposing of her body.

You can leave the umbrella at home today, but don’t put it away as rain makes a return this weekend. That said, I want to stress that this weekend is not a complete washout. You’ll likely run into a shower at some point, but there will plenty of dry hours as well.We’re waking up to quite a bit of fog early this morning with many towns reporting visibility of a quarter mile or less! Once we burn the fog off, we’ll have sunshine for a few hours before clouds take over this afternoon. The clouds that move in will be those high level cirrus clouds so it’s just more of a filtered sunshine on tap for the afternoon. Temperatures will hit the 60s inland, but with an east wind, hold in the 50s on the coast.There are a lot more clouds on the way this weekend and unfortunately it will be a pretty gray weekend. There will also be scattered showers around, more so on Saturday than Sunday. Sunday is probably your better option for dry weather.Below are future radar s...Michigan 7th grader safely brings full school bus to a stop after driver loses consciousness

(CNN) — A seventh grader in Michigan is being praised as a hero for preventing his school bus from crashing after his bus driver lost consciousness, according to a school official.Dillon Reeves, a student at Lois E. Carter Middle School in Warren, took immediate action on a bus ride after school Wednesday afternoon in “an extraordinary act of courage and maturity,” Warren Consolidated Schools Superintendent Robert D. Livernois said.The bus driver experienced “some dizziness” while driving and followed protocol by alerting ‘”home base” that she wasn’t feeling well and was going to pull over to allow the transportation department to dispatch someone to provide relief to her, Livernois said at a Thursday news conference.But the driver didn’t make it to where she planned to park, eventually passed out and couldn’t stop the bus, which started to veer into oncoming traffic, he said.Reeves, who was seated about fiv...Prosecutors say leaks suspect has history of making violent threats and possessed an ‘arsenal of weapons’

(CNN) — Prosecutors are arguing that the Air National Guardsman accused of posting a trove of classified documents to social media should remain in jail during the course of his legal case, in part, because he has a history of violent threats and possessed an “arsenal of weapons.”In comments cited in court filings late Wednesday night, Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, spoke of wanting to “kill a [expletive] ton of people” because it would be “culling the weak minded,” and discussed wanting to make a minivan into an “assassination van.”At his home in Massachusetts, prosecutors say, Teixeira had access to an “arsenal” of weapons and accessories — including handguns, bolt-action rifles, shotguns, an AK-style high-capacity weapon, a gas mask, ammunition, tactical pouches, and a “silencer-style accessory” — all of which he kept in his bedroo...Howie Carr: Harvard ticket out of jail

If I ever get jammed up criminally, I ask for no special favors.I just want to be treated like 64-year-old Harvard egghead Charles Lieber.All the professor did was secretly pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash from the Red Chinese, open a bank account in Wuhan (does that name ring a bell?), cheat the IRS by not paying income taxes on his blood money from the Islamophobic genocidal murderers after which he lied to the feds about his unspeakable string of crimes against humanity.Ex-chemistry professor Lieber pleaded guilty to all the above – six felonies altogether. He was sentenced on Wednesday in federal district court in Boston.Lieber got two days. Two days! Which he’d already served, by the way, when he was first lugged.I repeat, two days.It’s great to be a Democrat, isn’t it?It’s also great to be a Harvard professor, emeritus, I guess you’d call him. He was sentenced by a woman the Harvard Crimson so aptly described as “Judge Rya Zobel ’53.”In other words, Harvard (she...2023 NFL Draft: 8 potential Patriots picks on Day 2

The first round is over, but the work has only just begun.The Patriots have several picks still to make in the NFL Draft, starting with the second and third rounds Friday night. History indicates the team will trade up in the second round. The Pats have moved up for a second-round prospect in each of the past five years, most recently for wide receiver Tyquan Thornton.Whether they do or don’t trade up, here are eight potential Patriots picks to watch Friday, from the early second round to late in the third.Cincinnati WR Tyler ScottHt/Wt: 5-10, 177Scott possesses the same long speed and agility as coveted Boston College receiver Zay Flowers, another undersized weapon teams have coveted. Scott also served as a gunner on Cincinnati’s punt team, the type of special teams experience that always appeals to the Patriots. He’s drawn comparisons to T.Y. Hilton and Tyler Lockett, and can play both the slot and outside.As one of the more inexperienced receivers in the draft, ...Huawei 1Q revenue edges up, profit margin narrows

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese tech giant Huawei reported Friday that its revenue edged up 0.8% from a year earlier in the first three months of 2023 and the company was profitable. Revenue rose to 132.1 billion yuan ($19.1 billion), a company statement said. It said its net profit margin was 2.3%, down from 4.3% a year earlier.The company, headquartered in Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, has responded to U.S. sanctions that devastated its smartphone brand by expanding into serving hospitals, ports and other industrial customers. It gave no breakdown of sales by global region or business line. It said spending on research and development increased but gave no details.Huawei Technologies Ltd., China’s first global tech brand, has struggled since then-President Donald Trump cut off access to U.S. processor chips and other technology in a feud with Beijing over technology and security.

UMAN, Ukraine (AP) — Russia fired more than 20 cruise missiles and two drones at Ukraine early Friday, killing at least 16 people, most of them when two missiles slammed into an apartment building in the center of the country, officials said. Three children were among the dead.The missile attacks included the first one against Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, in nearly two months, although there were no reports of any targets hit. The city government said Ukraine’s air force intercepted 11 cruise missiles and two unmanned aerial vehicles over Kyiv. The strikes on the nine-story residential building in central Ukraine occurred in Uman, a city located around 215 kilometers (134 miles) south of Kyiv. Fourteen people died in that attack, according to the interior ministry, including two 10-year-old children and a toddler. Another of the victims was a 75-year-old woman who lived in a neighboring building and suffered internal bleeding from the huge blast’s shock wave, according to em...Dutch court bans sperm donor who fathered at least 550

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A Dutch court on Friday banned a man from donating any more of his sperm after he fathered at least 550 children in the Netherlands and other countries and misled prospective parents about the number of offspring he helped to conceive.A judge at The Hague District Court ordered the halt in an injunction brought by the parents of a child conceived with the donor’s sperm and a foundation representing other parents.The court noted that under Dutch guidelines, sperm donors are allowed to produce a maximum of 25 children with 12 mothers and that the donor lied to prospective parents about his donation history.The donor, identified as Jonathan M. under Dutch privacy guidelines, provided sperm to several Dutch fertility clinics and to a clinic in Denmark as well as to many other people he connected with through advertisements and online forums, the court said in its written judgment.The donor’s lawyer said in a court hearing that he wanted to help parents who ...What to know about tick, Lyme disease season after a mild winter

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — After a mild winter in the U.S., will there be an uptick in ticks this year?Researchers say it is hard to predict how the tick season will play out. This year’s mild winter and early snow melt, though, could mean more ticks earlier than usual and a wider spread of Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases, scientists said.In Connecticut, ticks are showing up in greater numbers this year, according to Goudarz Molaei, a tick expert for the state. So far, more than 700 ticks have been sent in for a testing program that normally would have gotten 200 to 300 by now. The state typically sees a lot of Lyme disease, which got its name from a Connecticut town.This undated photo provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows a blacklegged tick, which is also known as a deer tick. Ticks will be more active than usual early in spring 2023, and that means Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections could spread earlier and in greater numbers ...Latest news
