Missing Cohasset woman Ana Walshe last seen on New Year's Day​

Cohasset police are looking for Ana Walshe, a missing woman who was last seen early in the morning on New Year's Day.


Walshe lives in Cohasset with her family, but she spends the workweeks in Washington DC. Her husband was not able to speak with WBZ-TV as he cares for their three young children, but family and friends near and far are growing desperate for her safe return.

"We're doing anything and everything, turning the world over to find her," said Alissa Kirby, Ana's friend in Washington DC.

Concern is growing, from Cohasset to the nation's capital, over her whereabouts and well-being. She works as a commercial real estate executive in DC, but her greatest passion and priority - her young sons in Massachusetts.

Police say the 39-year-old was last seen at her home in Cohasset shortly after midnight Sunday. Happy New Year messages were never returned.

Brian Walshe has been charged with the murder his wife, missing Cohasset woman Ana Walshe, according to Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey on Jan. 17.

“Early in the investigation, the police developed probable cause to believe that her husband, Brian Walshe... had misled police investigators of material matters important to the search for Ana Walshe. He has pled not guilty to those charges, and is currently being held at the Norfolk County House of Correction,” Morrissey stated in a video release.

“The continued investigation has now allowed police to obtain an arrest warrant, charging Brian Walshe with the murder of his wife. Mr. Walshe will be transported to the Quincy District Court for arraignment for the charge of murder,” Morrissey added.

“Additional details in the investigation and the evidence in support of those charges are likely to be presented in the arraignment, but will not be disclosed at this time.

Husband of missing Massachusetts mom-of-three who vanished at 4am on New Year's Day is art swindler​

Brian Walshe, 48, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Boston in 2021 after being arrested a few years earlier for selling two fake Andy Warhol paintings to a South Korean buyer for $80,000, federal prosecutors say.

Walshe took the paintings from a friend and sold them on eBay, only to switch them out for fakes.

Cohasset Police Chief William Quigley said in the press conference on Friday that the case appears to be completely unrelated to Walshe's disappearance who has not been seen since January 1.

Searching from his son's Ipad!

I'm leaning to he was upset that she was moving on and moving away to her home area while he was facing time in prison. Did he believe, falsely or not, that she had someone there?

Whatever the fantasy in his mind, the root of the issue was loss of control. At least he could get rid of her so she would still be under control. I'm beginning to comprehend this idea after reading about/dealing with these controlling men over and over.

So what time were those searches on the 1st? As in, was she killed right after the guest(s) left or something that happened later on in the day?

The prosecutor reads the times of the searches off in the live arraignment video. 4:55 AM on January 1st was the first search prosecutor referenced. I don't think we know if this is a comprehensive list of searches though.

First off, another woman dead in the hands of her husband. The most trusted of relationships IMO. That’s just so upsetting.

Second, who TF doesn’t know how to hide search history. It’s so stupid to me. Like it’s just so useless.

Your search history can still be recovered in most cases if they know what they are doing forensically, like "deleted" files can.

CNN —
As Massachusetts prosecutors build their case against Brian Walshe, they have laid out considerable evidence alleging the husband murdered his wife on New Year’s Day and gruesomely disposed of her body.

Brian Walshe, 47, appeared in court Wednesday to be arraigned on charges of murder and illegally disinterring or moving a body. Walshe has been in jail since January 8, when he was arrested on a charge of misleading investigators searching for his wife, 39-year-old Ana Walshe.

He has pleaded not guilty to all three charges.

Prosecutors alleged in Quincy District Court on Wednesday that Brian Walshe killed his wife, with whom he shares three children, because he wanted to end their marriage. Their criminal complaint against the husband says he assaulted and beat Ana Walshe to death.

“Rather than divorce, it is believed that Brian Walshe dismembered Ana Walshe and discarded her body,” prosecutor Lynn Beland said in court.
