TRANSCRIPTION OF INTERVIEW WITH FAMILY FRIEND
9TH DECEMBER.
Reporter - I've spoken with so many of Ana's friend's since we first learned of her disappearance from police late last week. These are families along the South Shore, friends of hers in DC, even former employees here in Boston, in the hotel industry. It's been a rollercoaster emotional week for these people, desperate for information and really holding on to hope that she would return home safely this morning. Devastating news. Those chilling details presented in court and they all learned at the same time that we did. But late this afternoon, just now, I sat down to exclusively speak with one of Ana Walshe's very best friends. JM is her former boss before she took this job in Washington DC, but he's so much more than that. This is a friend who was at the Walshe home on Saturday night and one of the very last people to see this Cohasset mother before she went missing. He's been in very frequent communication with investigators. Meeting with state police, calling them multiple times since, to provide any possible details that he can to help them as they search for his friend. But he described, for me, how everything seemed as it always was, Saturday night, celebrating the new year together.
Friend JM - Brian cooked an elaborate meal for us and we hugged and celebrated and toasted and... Just what you do over New Year's and there was a lot of looking forward to the new year. Like, there was no indication of anything other than celebrating the new year. Like, problems on hold, whatever life's problems were, life always gives us matters and problems and things to deal with, right?. That just always is, but the fact that they hadn't... you know, they had been living in separate homes, she was commuting back and forth. She wasn't seeing the children as often as she would have liked me. I mean, she loved everybody. She definitely loved her children, dearly. And.... (he chokes up here) so It was festive. She was texting with friends and she was sitting next to me at the bar stool and at their kitchen. It was... there was absolutely no indication that any modicum of a tragedy, of disappearance, or anything else could have happened that night.
Reporter - Now, this dear family friend, J, he actually met Ana a few years ago through Brian. He was first to friends and colleagues with Brian through a leadership course years ago, then met Ana and has closely befriended this couple over the years. Even that being said, his closeness and his love for this family, he admits that there were times during this week that he began to feel that this timeline didn't add up and he sadly suspected foul play.
