Deceased/Not Found MA - Ana Walshe - Supposedly Left Home in Rideshare to Airport - Cohasset #3

I don't believe this, for a moment... but if you wanted to turn this story into a fictional spy thriller, it practically writes itself.

it really is one for the books. Literally!

Lot of strange coincidences. Including their former home burning.

 

[mendicant]

The inept Warhol forgeries are a great touch too.

This article has a friend of Ana's saying that Ana was the breadwinner and that she didn't know what Brian did for work and Ana didn't talk about the legal issues. So it sounds like the secrets were piling up. I wonder how many of their friends even knew about the fraud case.

Red flags & power struggle between Ana Walshe & husband Brian revealed by friend

MISSING mom Ana Walshe was the high-flying breadwinner of her family and often refused to talk about her husband who tried and struggled to keep up with her, according to a friend. Ana, a 39-year-o…

Sounds like more than secrets were piling up. Denial, too. IMO.

I think she was in the basement because that’s where BW took her body. Probably terribly gruesome what he did to her body.

I don't know how to quote from the previous thread, but if you go to the estate litigation through this link, you can pull up the affidavits from BW and others. It is "In the Matter of TW" filed 7/19/2019 in Plymouth Probate: https://www.masscourts.org/eservices/home.page.6

At paragraph 20 in the BW affidavit, he states that his "father left" in 1983 (first screenshot).

At paragraph 5 of the JO affidavit, he responds to BW's paragraph 20 by saying TW was not ashamed of leaving his family "which was by all accounts a severely dysfunctional and hostile environment." JO affidavit also states that JO lived with TW for 30 years.

So even if BW's parents did not formally divorce in 2003, multiple people have reported that they separated as early as 1983 and at the latest 1989.

Thirty years is a long time. I'd think JO was well aware of all the upset and pain caused by TOm's son through the years and saw that there was not going to have a happy 'ending' as father and son. Isn't it JO that let B into the father's house where he saw and destroyed the will?? JO did take a pix of it luckily. Maybe he was not with Tom any longer and believed B that he was now speaking with father again. Also, interesting how B is the one that it seems was the only one really to have been informed that father died in India. DId not put up an obit either, of course. Why would he care about father's life and accomplishments and friends around the world. Terrible choices of letting some people into our lives or that are born into our lives for some.

Money problems mentioned again in this article:

"Money may have been a stressor for the family.

“She is/was my landlord,” wrote Mandi Lee on Facebook, adding that her fiancé had known Ana for eight years but noticed a personality change recently. Ana, it seemed, wanted Mandi and her fiancé out of the home so she could sell it.

“When I refused … she got out of character and very angry,” Lee wrote, “and it seemed like we were ruining her plans … She also kept telling us she and Brian would have something for us in the New Year. I’m wondering what that was. A magic act? This is so crazy. I literally spoke to her days before she went missing.”

Inside the marriage of missing mom Ana Walshe and ‘sociopath’ husband Brian

With Ana Walshe missing since Jan. 1, 2023 — and her husband, Brian, being charged with misleading investigators — the Massachusetts couple’s marriage is being scrutinized for problems.

This does not surprise me at all. I was already getting a strong sense they were not doing as well as they appeared on the surface, what with the expensive homes and flashy cars. The fact they sold their nice home and moved into a rental that does not look very nice on the outside that his mom appears to be paying for was a huge red flag to me, since it appears it was necessary to buy the D.C. home. She would still have to be approved for the mortgage in D.C. I suppose, so they must have some assets, but I am guessing they are/were living above their means and were stretched very thin since he does not appear to work. Does anyone know if his mom co-signed for the D.C. home loan by any chance or it that info can be found somewhere easily? I know in my state the deeds are filed at the county level.

Ana sounds so desperate, needing cash fast. Under so much pressure to try to put into reality her plan to leave with her children to DC. without B, but I have read her friend said loves her husband and all that. Pride and her business reputation meant a lot. Understandable.

Is it possible (without naming a specific individual) that someone who loves and is very close to BW killed AW and BW is covering for her (or him)?
IMHO

I feel IMO his sociopath tendencies would keep him from taking that kind of heat for Anyone.

There isn't any evidence yet to support that idea, is there?

You may have stumbled onto his defense strategy: "Mom did it."

Right up his alley. Thieve from dad, throw mother under the bus.

I thought of that, in a fit of rage attacked, but.

Why is he telling LE and his friends that his son had his phone? There must be something up with that.

He was late replying to texts or messaging people after New Year’s Eve and he made that excuse to them.

I’m hoping he’s not going to blame his child for unusual google searches.

Ana Walshe's friends want to care for her kids after Brian Walshe's arrest

Ana Walshe's friends want to care for her three young children so they won't be separated. Her Cohasset husband, Brian Walshe, was arrested after she disappeared.

I don’t for a minute think that Brian’s mother will not file for custody. She will hire a nanny etc. I hate to say it but this could get very ugly over the children. If these two woman are raising money to bring Ana’s Mom to America she must not have a lot of financial resources. So that puts her in a not great position. And as we know BW’s Mom has been referred to as a “cash cow” on these threads so high priced lawyers would perhaps not be a problem for her. Fingers crossed that these kids are given the best chance to thrive. Imo

I somehow cannot see BW’s mother dismembering Ana after the fact. Are they both involved? Anything is possible. They have a very cozy unhealthy relationship. Imo

I wonder what their wills say. They may have named a guardian for their children in the case of their joint untimely deaths. We had to do that as part of our adoption. Plus, if you have any "means" the general estate planning advice is to appoint two separate guardians: for your kids estates (someone good with money) and a guardian for your kids' persons (someone good with kids to be their day-to-day guardian). It's not necessarily the same person!

The advice is that a guardian should be someone young enough to care for your children until the youngest is 18 to avoid any further disruptions. So they may have named a family friend? Sibling?

Mother is a frail old cancer-stricken woman when it is convenient for him for sentencing in the Warhol forgery case. Mother will be another person who never got along with his wife when it will be convenient for him in his defense in this case. He was just protecting her when he cleaned up the crime scene, hacked up her body, and disposed of the evidence (closer to his mother's residence than his own)...
