Eeeek!

My friend just forwarded me this from Ana’s Instagram circa all the way back in 2018.

The post is titled, “Mild concussion, bruised hip and a cut… #Vulnerability”

6A50B0C1-6935-45F8-AD90-FB6C019E8C6D.jpeg


When people asked her what happened she responded “freshly buffed marble floors at work”… I hope that’s really all it was! My heart is already breaking for this woman… I hope this was just an innocent slip and fall and nothing more. :(

 
Yes, I didn't post that correctly.
Thanks !
I keep thinking he has some restrictions on where he can go, but maybe not ?


Still, just ugh. :(
I think he knows where she is.
IMO.

Back to Ana ... I believe BW knows where she is, as well.

I wish he'd come clean and let her family know, show a little respect !
Of course that would go against what has emerged about his character, Imo.

It looks like LE have a lot, but they need a body ?
Sorry to type that.
I'd be glad to be wrong !

Barry has no restrictions. Charges can be refiled.

Yep - Bryan knows what he did with Ana. I don't think he will give up her location. He is stonewalling police.
 
How do we know this was Brian Walshe?
I wondered that too. I looked on p. 2 of the document, where it refers to S-1 being the offender, and at the bottom it says that S-1 (suspect?) now resides in the Boston, MA area. I think it's a fair bet that it was Brian Walshe. That said, I am glad to see these official documents substantiating the claims that he was the perp of the threat.
 

"Former tenants... claim they saw the composed career woman descend into an epic “meltdown” shortly before her disappearance...

when we put our foot down and said, ‘No, you cannot do this to us’ and we were fighting back, it was like watching Britney Spears have a meltdown when Justin Timberlake broke up with her. It was not normal.”

This seems so out of character, why would AW be "melting down" in November/December over something like $220k for the Revere apartment that they paid $160k (is that right?) for when she owns a $1.3M place in DC? The Revere place seems like really small potatoes for a meltdown.

Another off-the-wall theory (I am full of these, sorry); what if BW was pressuring AW to liquidate assets for cash in 2022 as mentioned in this and other articles? Maybe he says "if you don't get $500k liquidated so we can _____ I am going to implicate you in the Warhol scheme" Or in the theft from his father's estate, or implicate her in anything at all that would take her away from her kids... I'm guessing she would stop acting like the "composed career woman" and start melting down when plans did not go her way because she wanted so badly to be with her kids.

The question for my crazy theory is what could BW be threatening her with? Did he have a way out of the country to avoid prison but needed cash to get away? What was his scheme this time?

she does not fully own that $1.3m place. And after settling with creditors, and the liability on joint property she would have from his creditors some of which may have been incurred in marriage for all we know her actual net worth could be $200K, $100K or $10K or for that matter negative.
That $220K could be several times her net.

Let's say she was responsible for several hundred thousand of their debts. I am not an expert on Mass and DC joint property issues, but she can't just end her liability by moving money or assets to her name. that $220 could be her entire nest egg. In fact she could owe half or all of that to creditors.

If you own a 1.3 million dollar house, it could have no mortgage or it could have a 700k, 900k, 1.1m, 1.2m or even more mortgage. You could also have a mountain of credit card debt, other personal debts.

Also beyond the main house and the new house, how do we know that that apartment in Revere did not have a significant mortgage -- including refi to full $220 mortgage?

Yeah, I see this as second degree murder, just because of how badly it went down, and how bad the coverup was. This decision seems to have been made quickly.
Anything can happen but premeditation to qualify as first degree can be as little as one minute.

But you are right, first will be more difficult given family friend Mutlu statements that everything seemed fine, and the fact that the purchases of tarps, tape, saws etc were apparently all after the murder. I bet they start with a charge of first degree

A probable cause affidavit says Brian Walshe told police that the couple went to bed after a friend left around 1 a.m. and that Ana Walshe left for the airport between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m.

Brian Walshe also told police he spent New Year's afternoon doing errands for his mother at Whole Foods and CVS — but he was not seen on security video from either store, according to the affidavit.

[...]

According to a police log, Ana Walshe’s phone connected to a cellphone tower for the last time at 3:14 a.m. Jan. 2, within a quarter-mile of the area of Reservoir Road, which is 0.7 miles from the family's home. Her phone was then turned off, the log says.

Brian Walshe has told police that he visited a juice bar in the nearby town of Norwell early Jan. 2, officials have said.

Police discovered video evidence that Brian Walshe visited Home Depot in Rockland, about 10 miles southwest of the home, on Jan. 2. He was wearing a surgical mask and gloves and bought $450 worth of goods, including cleaning supplies, mops and tape, according to prosecutors.

[...]

The head of security for Ana Walshe's employer, Tishman Speyer, called Cohasset police around 11:45 a.m. Jan. 4 to request a well-being check, reporting that her car was in Washington, that she was last seen days earlier and that the company had contacted her husband, who had not filed a missing person report, according to the police log.

[...]

But didnt we hear differently ??
He said HE contacted her employer, not the other way around !!

Which I thought the very first article said, employer did.

Also new to me--her CAR was in WA ???

Does she keep it there while home is MA ??

this may have been discussed already and I missed it as you all are flying fast in here, but this stands out to me

Who took her car to WA ??? unless she leaves it there. IDK
 
These bids for sports cars are puzzling. All of the cars have manual transmissions. Ana wanted a manual transmission? Was her Maserati a manual shift or no?

How disappointing that all the bids are for two seaters. Can't fit a family of 5 inside.
a 40-year-old woman born in Serbia, and who lived in her 20's in Serbia is almost certainly going to now how to drive a manual. Probably learned to drive on one
 
In that DC police document, they updated the status *yesterday* from the 2014 event to note Ana did not cooperate with prosecutors. Looks like a CYA move given all the attention on the case
What are prosecutors supposed to do when a person refuses to continue? The entire thing is a phone conversation, not a threat witnessed by anyone else. Don't get me wrong, I have no trouble being certain she was telling truth given what we know that, but what are prosecutors supposed to do?

We did hear differently. The first reports were that both Ana's employer and her husband reported her missing at about the same time. It wasn't until BW's court appearance that we learned otherwise.

Ana kept a vehicle at the townhouse in DC. During LE's initial search for her there, they confirmed the vehicle was present. MOO

On May 21, 2018, Ana Walshe wrote "Mild concussion, bruised hip and a cut...#vulnerability" as the caption for an Instagram post with a picture of her with a cut above her eye.

While the picture was posted in 2018, Ana Walshe edited it just 35 weeks ago – two weeks before submitting her letter to Judge Douglas Woodlock urging him to impose a no-jail sentence.

The letter, sent on June 1, 2022, states that her husband, Brian Walshe, helped her mother through a traumatic health event.

[...]

Walshe did not only edit one Instagram picture just before sending her letter to the federal judge.

She edited many other pictures on her Instagram account just two weeks before sending the letter, including one promoting an event put on by her husband.

"Please join my husband Brian as he hosts his workshop this evening at 7pm. Eventbrite link in bio," Walshe wrote in the edited post.

[...]

RSBM

Can you elaborate on what you think is significant about a manual transmission?

I was under the impression that most if not all high-powered "performance" cars would be manual transmission as it gives the driver full control.

(Personally, I would never want a performance car like that [my vehicles need 4wd and decent clearance for rural roads and serious winters] but I have always preferred a manual transmission and have always opted for it when buying a car. Only the coming transition to electric vehicles will change that, as they are a whole other transmission creature as I understand it. I would still always prefer stick shift if the option was there). MOO

thank you
I thought first reports were him saying her Employer called it in but then I thought I read that He called it in, which I didnt believe.

As for the car.. I totally missed that before so thank you for letting me know.

I question this for many reasons. The most obvious of which is her hashtag. Nobody writes #vulnerability after slipping on a freshly polished floor. IMO this was another plea for help.
 
Ohhhh @wnk
Not sure if you are available to work on a timeline for Ana's case

You are the best of the best with timelines and I can help out if you don't have time.

I read the whole thing a different way. If she had slipped at work, wouldn't her co-workers have been there and know about the accident? It seems odd to me that she would make a plea for help like that when it could be verified if it were a work-related injury.

MOO

She said in her post "it feels weird to not be at work on a Monday". To me, that implied it happened the day before? If you fall on your face on a marble floor, it would be unusual to only have that visible injury. JMO
