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.

From the outside, the Walshes had it together. Three kids, a house in upscale Cohasset, a townhome in D.C., and Ana rising through commercial real estate. But the structure was fractured in ways that matter. Ana was months into an affair. Brian was under federal home confinement for art fraud, unable to travel, serving as primary caregiver while his wife built a separate life 400 miles away. She was the breadwinner. He was stuck.
Four days before Ana died, someone on Brian's devices searched "what's the best state to divorce for a man." Two days later, their last text exchange ended with "love you" and "love you too."
In this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who spent his career studying trust, betrayal, and human motivation—helps us understand what was actually happening inside that marriage. His framework isn't academic theory. It comes from decades of assessing relationships where the stakes were life and death.
We explore the behavioral dynamics the jury won't see spelled out: What does it mean that Ana spoke positively about Brian while conducting an affair? How does a power imbalance like home confinement reshape someone's psychology? Can resentment build invisibly until it becomes something else entirely? And what did Ana's careful management of the affair—insisting Brian hear about it from her, worrying about his reaction—tell us about how she perceived the risk?
The prosecution says Brian discovered the affair and killed her. The defense says he didn't even know. Somewhere in the behavioral evidence is the answer.
