She had such a long giraffy-like neck that maybe he couldn't help but squeezing it.

This is a very sad story, it is also a common one. One spouse kills the other....very sad...

I bet the horrible thing he did that upset the wife so much was not your normal extramarital affair

I have no idea why some people believe murder is the answer to whatever problems there are. Give the guy the death penalty or life in prison but first get in his head and see what would set him off to this degree. Perhaps other murders can be prevented. www.forgotten-ny.com

Of course, there are exceptions to that rule, as the Huffington Post blogger in the story below demonstrated.

It's just the way many men are wired. A study years ago showed that when you do something bad to women, they feel hurt and internalize the pain. Men, on the other hand, tended to strike back when hurt. So the wife wanted the divorce here and the husband wanted to hurt her back in the worst way. There may also be that "If I can't have her, nobody can" attitude.

I'm not defending the guy, but did he confess or did the Nassau police just become judge, jury, and executioner at a press conference?

Guys never get over the horney stage! You just need to keep it in control and think about the harm you will cause if you give in. This guy should be set on fire.

Like I said, he felt guilty about cheating, and the only way he could minimize these feelings was to eliminate the person to whom he felt guilty. Small-minded douche. And he choked her. He squeezed the life out of her. Bastard.

@28 - Just in case they can't, I've discovered a thing that can save the lives of the wives and much effort on the part of husbands. It's called "getting a divorce."

I hope he enjoys prison.

ugh. Is it really so hard for men to keep your penis in your pants once you're married. I hope the husband is sent to prison for life without parole.

Good thing forensics can't tell when she was killed.

Breaking News Nassau County police revealed new details in the case of slain teacher Leah Walsh Thursday morning. Investigators say Walsh's husband, Bill, killed her during an altercation early Sunday morning. He then allegedly kept her body in the home all day Sunday as he attempted to establish an alibi. Police say he then dumped his wife's body under the cover of darkness. http://www.news12.com/LI

Why does murder seem like the solution for so many people? How can you kill another human being so easily?

This isn't a surprise. I think most everyone's gut said that he did it. The only question now is which will come first the Lifetime Movie or the Law & Order episode.

Terribly upsetting, a young woman just finishing grad school, working as a teacher, doing good, and this scumbag tries to cover his guilt over his adultery by killing her. Piece of garbage. @lanciano, I really enjoy this site. I like the way stories are treated here, but Jen's poor spelling is always troubling.

viz. Ronkonkoma. Makes you wonder why gay people want the right to get married. Domestic partners already get health insurance.

Marriage is a great way to nurture archaic and unrealistic expectations towards one another. Is this suffering really worth the health insurance? Seriously.

Both 29 years old, to young for marriage. Maybe some marriages but I'll trust no marriage if both are still in their 20's. A better age range is 30-35. When I think of 20's I think of college kids how are still horny. Some women want to marry young and have children before 30, I understand that but sadly Leah Walsh picked a guy who was still in that horny stage for other women. They was married for three years so they got married at 26 ... still children, way to young. He wasn't mature yet and she didn't know who she was marrying.

Lanciano, if you're going to nitpick about typos, maybe you should keep them out of your own posts.

The only shocking thing about this story was how quickly he was arrested. Perhaps he should have consulted with Drew Peterson instead of Scott Peterson.

It's always the spouse, except when it's someone else.

"It's interesting how many people are having MARTIAL problems are these days." it's obvious why you used to be in publishing. next time comment on the story, idiot.

Perhaps it's easier to beat a murder rap than get taken to the cleaners by a divorce lawyer.

Somehow, I knew it was him when I read the first story about how he was "looking for her."

Wow, that's a shocker... The husband did it...

i'll never understand why these guys kill their wives & think they can get away with it. get a divorce, it's less painful than prison rape.

lanciano

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 09:32:13 -0500

It's interesting how many people are having MARTIAL problems are these days. Damn UFC. (Sorry Jen. I used to be in publishing. I can't help noticing these things!)
