- What is the best state to divorce for a man.
- Dismemberment and the best ways to get rid of a body.
- Can you be charged with murder without a body?

The disturbing searches were read aloud in court on Wednesday, as Brian Walshe, 47, was charged with murder and exhuming a body without permission. He is accused of lying to detectives investigating where his wife went.
He has said he is not guilty of all charges, and his lawyer said the evidence against him was not very strong. All but one Google search was done after Ana Walshe was last seen on Jan. 1 and before work reported her missing on Jan. 4.
