Police say Bill Walsh admitted that he strangled her Sunday during a fight over his infidelity, then concocted a ruse to cover his tracks.
Sources tell Eyewitness News the red flags started popping up all over the place on Wednesday. Police say there were several inconsistencies in Bill Walsh's alibi. That's because, they say, he knew all along that his wife was dead at the bottom of an embankment.
At a news conference on Thursday, police said Walsh was confronted by his wife after spending the weekend in Atlantic City. According to police, Leah Walsh confronted her husband about his apparent infidelity. Sometime after that, Bill Walsh allegedly choked his wife to death. Police added that Walsh then went to McDonalds and did his laundry before taking the body and dumping it at the North Hills Country Club.
"Dragged her across the cold ground and left her in weeds, leaves, in a wooded area," Det. Lt. Jon Azzata said.
Authorities said that Walsh then ditched the car and flattened the tire, before returning home and making a tearful plea to Eyewitness News that he wanted his wife back.
