Leah Walsh's Husband Allegedly Admits to Strangling Her

William "Bill" Walsh, 29, has allegedly confessed to murdering his wife, 29-year-old Leah Walsh, a Bethpage schoolteacher who was reported missing on Oct. 27.

According to Police in Nassau County, N.Y., the murder is believed to have occurred sometime after 2 a.m. Sunday, when Walsh returned home from a trip to Atlantic City. The couple allegedly got into an argument, during which Leah accused her husband of cheating on her. The argument then escalated into a physical confrontation, police said on Thursday.

"We allege William choked his wife to death, dumped her body in North Hill, staged a scene to make it look like her car was disabled on the highway," Nassau County police commissioner Lawrence Mulvey, said during a Thursday press conference. "[He] staged a scene to make it look [like] her abductor removed her pocket book, staged text messages of purported communications between husband and wife, staged a phony emotional scene for the media, all the while knowing her body lay among leaves and trunks in a remote area of North Hill. Mr. Walsh will not enjoy one nanosecond of freedom for the rest of his life."

Walsh allegedly gave police a seven-page confession, which they say details the events leading up to and following the murder. In addition to the confession, police say a driver in a state Transportation Department vehicle has come forward to say that they witnessed Walsh leaving the scene where Leah's abandoned car was found on Monday.

Meanwhile, Walsh's attorney, Karl Seman, has been criticizing police for the way they handled the investigation.

"Any confession that they obtained was done by tricks," Seman told the New York Post. "They focused only on him since day one."

Body of Leah Walsh Found; Husband in Custody

Police in N.Y. have positively identified a body found early this morning as 29-year-old Leah Walsh, a Bethpage schoolteacher who went missing on Oct. 27.

According to a police spokesperson, Leah's body, which was found near the north service road of the Long Island Expressway, had been there for more than 24 hours. Investigators will not comment on a possible cause of death or the reason they had such a difficult time identifying the body.

Leah's husband, William "Bill" Walsh, has since been arrested on suspicion of murder. No word yet on when he will make his first court appearance.

No further details are available at this time
