It began, police said, with an argument over whether he was cheating on her.
William Walsh Jr. then strangled his wife, hid her body in the woods, staged her disappearance, and made phony emotional pleas for her safe return, Nassau police said Thursday.
Walsh, 29, has confessed to strangling his wife, Leah Walsh, after he returned to their Bethpage home early Sunday from a trip to Atlantic City, Det. Lt. John Azzata of Nassau's homicide squad said at a news conference.
