Unfortunately, Leah Walsh's body was identified last night at around 8:30pm and the police have arrested her husband and charged him with her murder. It is an incredibly sad story and I feel terrible for her parents, family and friends who were a big part of her life. For someone to take the life of another, it is just inconceivable.  It is particularly disturbing because not only did William Walsh take a life, he plotted and planned this entire cover-up.

Leah Walsh was murdered on the evening of Sunday October 26th. That Monday morning, her husband dumped her naked body on the Long Island Expressway Service Road. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, he pretended and acted like he was suffering, saying he knew nothing of her disappearance as he cried to TV cameras. 

Although there is nothing I can do to bring Leah back, asking you to pray for her family and keep Leah in your thoughts and prayers is the best I can offer. 

My school is holding a press conference at 1pm today. Additionally, many of the teachers, staff and administration plan to attend her wake. 

Although William Walsh took Leah from us physically, he can never take away the effect she had on the lives she touched, including many of the students she taught here at SLCD. Leah will always be with us in our prayers, thoughts and memories forever.
