Attorney on Ana Walshe case: “Children need to be heard”

[...]

“Were they witnesses to what happened that caused Ana’s disappearance? Were they witnesses to other things as well,” asked Murphy.

“Given how much time they have spent at the home investigating, what does that indicate to you about the children,” Kavanaugh asked.

“So, to the extent, law enforcement is focused on the house as the scene of some crime, there’s no doubt that children as witnesses are a big issue,” Murphy said.

Murphy says with the children in the custody of DCF, an investigator can more readily interview them, regardless of where they are physically staying. She says the separation from the parents is traumatic enough, and there is so much we still don’t know.

[...]

Kavanaugh has been corresponding with a reporter in Serbia from the website, Blic. The reporter said with Ana’s mother, in Serbia, on Wednesday and she too does not know exactly where her grandchildren are. She is very distraught and hopeful for more information soon.

Mother of missing Ana Walshe 'can't believe' son-in-law killed her


Ljubicic was staying at the Cohasset, Massachusetts, home of her daughter and son-in-law when she suffered the stroke on November 9, 2021. Ana was away working in Washington, DC at the time.

'I can say he saved my life then and that is why I can't believe he is responsible – I just can't believe it.'

She said Ana, 39, visited her in Belgrade in November and December last year and she never said a bad word about her husband.

But she knew there was some strain on their marriage because Ana had to spend so much time in Washington, where she worked, and her husband could not leave Boston because he was under house arrest for a 2018 scam when he sold fake Andy Warhol paintings on eBay for $80,000.

Ana explained it to a friend with six words: “Freshly buffed marbled floors at work.”

Linskey tells me, in light of the DC Metro Police report, this picture can be seen in an entirely different light.


“Oftentimes domestic violence victims will cover for their abusers and come up with excuses for their injuries,” Linskey said. “It could also be considered consistent with that posting, vulnerability, that she’s in a vulnerable place in her relationship and is reaching out to folks through that means.”
