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.

Ana Walshe's Serbian mother asking U.S. for official information about her disappearance​

Ana Walshe's Serbian mother will ask the United States for official information about her daughter's disappearance.

Serbia's Foreign Ministry said Milanka Ljubicic signed a formal request to receive documentation about the case of her daughter as next of kin.

The request has been sent to Serbia's Consulate in New York and will be submitted to relevant U.S. authorities.


In a statement to WBZ-TV Monday, Acting Consul General Olgica Vlacic said the consulate has also submitted a request to Cohasset Police "asking for the official report" on the investigation.

"We expect Cohasset Police Department to be forthcoming to the request of the mother of the victim and to send us requested information soon," Vlacic said.

Internet evidence key, but not enough in no-body murder case

Prosecutors in Massachusetts are basing their murder case against a man whose wife is presumed dead but whose body has not been found in large part on a series of gruesome internet searches.

Internet evidence key, but not enough in no-body murder case​

Prosecutors in Massachusetts are basing their murder case against a man whose wife is presumed dead but whose body has not been found in large part on a series of gruesome internet searches he made around the time of her disappearance.

Scouring data on personal electronic devices is a common strategy in criminal cases, but experts warn that incriminating searches are not enough alone to build a solid case.

“It would be very challenging to try and base a criminal investigation on just what somebody searched for on the internet,” said Jennifer Lynch, the surveillance litigation director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that defends digital civil liberties.

Brian Walshe used Google to look up ways to dismember and dispose of a body, including “how long before a body starts to smell,” “hacksaw best tool to dismember,” and “10 ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to,” a prosecutor said when Walshe was arraigned Jan. 18 in connection with the presumed death of Ana Walshe.

Not guilty pleas were entered on Brian Walshe’s behalf.



In the Walshe case, the defense will likely bring in its own expert to attack the reliability of the search evidence at trial, which could be years away, said Rachel Fiset, a Los Angeles-based defense attorney.

But the whole of the evidence may be too much to overcome.

“I am having a hard time, other than the fact that there is no body, seeing how Brian Walshe will defend this case,” unless he claims self-defense or insanity, Fiset said. “These searches are really bad, really damning.”

Lynch warned about intrusive searches of what is essentially free speech. Just because someone searches for something potentially illegal online, it is not evidence that they intend to commit a crime, she said.

There is legal precedent in Massachusetts of securing a murder conviction even when the victim’s remains are never found, and the internet searches could help overcome the lack of a body, Northeastern University School of Law professor Daniel Medwed said.

The Cohasset man accused of murdering his wife and dismembering her body is set to appear in court Thursday morning for a status hearing.

Brian Walshe, 46, is set to appear virtually in Quincy District Court from the Norfolk County House of Corrections, where he is being held without bail on charges that he murdered and discarded the remains of 39-year-old Ana Walshe, whose body has still not been found.

Walshe, who was initially charged with misleading a police investigation, is now charged with murder as well as the improper transportation of a body or human remains. He has so far pleaded not guilty to all three charges.
 

Story by Flint McColgan, Boston Herald • 13m ago

A new status hearing has been scheduled in the case of Brian Walshe, who is accused of murdering his wife on the first day of the year, as it makes its way to the Superior Court.

At the hearing held Thursday just before 9:30 a.m. at Quincy District Court, defense attorney Tracy Miner said that she had received “basically nothing” during the discovery process in the case and asked that a new status hearing be held March 1.

Assistant District Attorney Greg Connor, who said he had just been put on the case about a week ago, said he was fine with that plan and said that prosecutors expect a grand jury will hand down an indictment against Walsh by the end of next month. The indictment would move the case to Norfolk Superior Court

Judge Neil Hourihan approved the new hearing date.

DEDHAM, Mass. —
The husband of a missing Cohasset, Massachusetts, mother was indicted Thursday for her murder, according to the Norfolk, Massachusetts, District Attorney.

Brian Walshe, 48, was issued three indictments by the Norfolk County Grand Jury for the murder of his wife, for misleading a police investigation and for the improper conveyance of a human body.

With the very few minutes I had yesterday morning, last night and a few moments now, I have been reading this thread. I haven't had time to go into links and it is my first knowledge of it but I hit this post after all the other (still have two pages to go here to be up to date on it) and it is like wow. This guy is beyond stupid. He didn't leave five trails, he left a kazillion. Staring with the google searches dumb enough and then it just adds and adds and adds, evidence found, locations known and more and then bloody items, biological material and so much more it is beyond belief.

Like more than a few here, I have followed tons of cases over many years but I think he takes the cake as the absolute dumbest murderer I've ever seen. This post here I am responding to was like constantly, you mean there's more? And more? And they found more?

Walshe back in court for case related to dead father's estate

Cohasset's Brian Walshe has been in custody for months on a murder charge in the disappearance and presumed death of his wife, Ana.

Brian Walshe back in court for case related to dead father's estate​

Cohasset murder suspect Brian Walshe was back in court on Wednesday, and 5 Investigates was the only media present during the virtual hearing in Massachusetts.

Walshe is accused of killing his wife, Ana, in the early hours of New Year's Day, but he was in court for a separate issue related to his deceased father's will and estate.

Relatives have accused Walshe of stealing money and items from the estate of Dr. Thomas Walshe, who died in 2018.

The hearing had been scheduled to go over logistics for an upcoming trial, but Walshe's lawyer withdrew from the case in March, a fact that seemed to surprise him.

"Perhaps it was a misunderstanding, but I thought he continued to be my lawyer," Walshe said from an office at the Norfolk County jail. "I'm not in any position to make any decisions without the assistance of a lawyer."

Relatives allege that Walshe went into his father's Hull home and destroyed his will, then proceeded to sell his father's art, rugs, jewelry and a car, and that he was attempting to sell the home, as well.

The accusations are playing out in Plymouth County Probate Court, where for years other relatives tried to force Walshe to file an account of the assets he took.

"I'm currently incarcerated, and I don't have access to the files, and I don't know where they are right now," Walshe said. "In time, I will be able to organize them."

The probate matter is scheduled for a trial in November, but that matter may be the least of Walshe's concerns.

Walshe is expected to be arraigned next week in Norfolk County Superior Court, nearly a month after he was indicted for the murder of his wife, misleading a police investigation/obstruction of justice and improper conveyance of a body.

Boy he's just a real prize isn't he. Murdered his wife, stole from his entire family, etc. Assuming the allegations are all true of course.. Plenty of evidence seems to indicate they are.
 
I can't understand people killing for money. Especially a parent. No way would I EVER, NEVER consider it. People that gave you life! I stole $10 from my dad's wallet when I was 13. That's it. I felt so guilty. I never did it again. I even confessed.

Brian Walshe suspected his wife of having an affair and had his mother hire a private investigator to follow Ana Walshe in the days leading up to her disappearance, prosecutors alleged Thursday.

<snip>
Walshe appeared in Norfolk Superior Court Thursday, where he was arraigned on charges of first-degree murder, misleading police, and improper conveyance of a human body. He pleaded not guilty, shaking his head as the charges were read aloud.

Walshe, who was charged with his wife’s murder in January, will remain held without bail. His next court appearance is slated for Aug. 23.

Slain Massachusetts mom Ana Walshe spent holiday in Ireland with mystery lover: court docs

The unidentified man also told police that he’d been having an affair with the mother-of-three for several months, according to a new report.

Slain Massachusetts mom Ana Walshe spent Thanksgiving in Dublin with a mystery lover about a month before her husband killed her on New Year’s Day, new court filings alleged.

The unidentified beau also told police that he’d been having an affair with the mother of three for several months, according to the Daily Mail.

<snip>
Prosecutors said he beat his wife to death after discovering her affair, then chopped her up in the family basement. He was arraigned Thursday in Norfolk Superior Court.

Days before her death, Ana told a friend she thought her husband was going to prison — presumably on art fraud charges — and she planned to leave him and move to Washington, DC, court documents said.

Ana got “uncharacteristically emotional and extremely upset” when she confessed this to her pal during dinner, the papers said.
