"She just said, ‘Please, mama. Come tomorrow,’" said Milanka Ljubicic, the mother of missing 39-year-old Ana Walshe, in an interview conducted on Monday and later translated to English. "Which means, that clearly, there must have been some problems."
Ljubicic, 69, spoke to Fox News Digital outside her
Belgrade, Serbia, apartment building, where she recalled how her daughter had sent her a text message on Dec. 25 and requested that Ljubicic travel to see her in Washington, D.C. the next day.
"She texted in the evening, urging me to come the next day to Washington," she said. She recalled responding, "I can’t get myself together in one day. I am 69 years old, I have to get my medications and a thousand other things."

Asked about Brian Walshe, Ljubicic described how her daughter was, at times, "irritated" because of the limitations Ana faced as a result of her husband’s pre-sentencing home confinement, such as how she "had to work
in Washington living in a house by herself, while he was at home with the three kids."
"From time to time [Brian’s] mom would help out. It’s possible that there was a disagreement over this and then during New Year’s Eve," she went on, "You have a few drinks and loosen up etc."
But Ljubicic added: "That anything happened, I can’t believe it. In total, I spent sixteen months with my son-in-law and I never noticed anything bad about my son-in-law."
Ljubicic said her daughter "loves him, and they love each other."
