MA MA - Ana Walshe, 39, regional general manager of a real estate company, Cohasset, 1 Jan 2023

[keek]

The area where the former house is on fire is a very affluent area outside of Boston. Houses in the $1.5 million $3+million range. It is a very strange coincidence, makes me wonder if there is something there that somebody wanted destroyed.

edited to change value based on actual address

Moo

...or. someone thinks she and her family still live there.

I really hope that LE or other family members/friends have an eye out for her children. The Josh Powell story still haunts me.

 

[TexLil]

Wow. Praying Ana will be found safe. In the meantime I'm making a list of (mostly rhetorical) questions

• Who was living at the house with the fire? Not names, but just wondering if they might be friends or family?
• Do her phone/computer records show evidence of searching for flights on 1/1?
• Do her phone/computer records show evidence of requesting a car service on 1/1?
• Do her phone records include evidence of an emergency call about a property? If so, who made that call?
• Who all knew she was trying to fly out early?
• Is it normal for Ana to not call / text her family upon arrival? To not call at least at night to FaceTime with the children?
• Why are LE searching that particular area?

Praying for Ana.

MOO

This looks to be the house that is currently on fire. I saw the house number on the local news that just aired.
Do we know for a fact that it was occupied? It shows it being sold in March of 2022. This type of home is often targeted for a tear down believe it or not. I know some towns have a one year moratorium on tear downs. Not sure about Cohasset. Although this piece of land is not on the water this is a very fancy street.

Yes those kids have definitely been on my mind since I heard about this. Hopefully there are lots of friends and family with them. Their safety I am sure is LE’s concern too.

I don't like how the missing reports came in simultaneously from the employer and the husband/family member. MOO

After looking at it, I was going to say the same thing. Looks like a tear down to me

From @LitsaPappas on Twitter:

This fire has been burning for a few hours now at this home on Jerusalem Rd in Cohasset. Chief says missing woman Ana Walshe used to own this home, but another family has been living here now. Live updates at 6 @boston25 https://t.co/8miH26ouMF

I was wondering why she’d have been traveling on the 1st for work when most companies had Monday as holiday so it makes sense that original plan was to fly out on the 3rd. Very strange indeed to leave for airport without having rebooked already it’s not that hard to do online.

Just a thought: May be that HUSBAND said she had a work emergency and was headed back early - not confirmed by her DC Biz Associates, necessarily... But also, the DC NYC BOS flights run so frequently that they are locally called "The Shuttle" and it would not be at unheard of for a frequent traveler/commuter to just purchase at the airport. That said - my instinct says that wasn't her plan.

Fire burns former home of missing Mass. woman; Search suspended overnight

"It's a very strange coincidence," the police chief said.

www.wcvb.com

"She's a loving and loyal wife and mother of three beautiful boys," said Alissa Kirby, a friend. "She loves her family, and I know in my heart, that of her choice, she would not go a day without speaking to her like husband and her kids."

Missing Cohasset woman Ana Walshe last seen on New Year's Day

Ana Walshe was last seen at her home, shortly after midnight at the start of the new year.

www.cbsnews.com

... Happy New Year messages were never returned.

"That was the last text that went through. Everything else has not been delivered," said friend Abdulla Almutairi. "I found it a little funny because Ana is very active on Instagram. On her posts and stories. I didn't see a picture from her trip."

"Officially we realized yesterday (Wednesday) that she was missing. We suspected maybe something Tuesday," Kirby said.

Since the Happy New Year messages were never returned I think we have a bigger time frame to deal with. JMO

There is not a lot of ground to search (compared to other "woods" areas in Massachusetts). the rental house is circled - behind a used car lot - then house marked w a red pin and potential woods area circled.

The former home of a Cohasset woman who vanished on New Year’s Day caught on fire as police searched for her

I don't know what to think.....it's reminding me a bit of another case where a family member set his brother's house on fire, injuring (or causing the death of some of his brother's family's members, can't remember), and then set fire to his own as a deflection.
Also wealthy people with high end properties. In that case it was due to jealousy and rage.

No idea if the house fire has anything to do with Ana vanishing.

Fearing for Ana.....doesn't look good sadly.

 

[Alethea]

So I have a question. The house that's on fire - MSM tweets posted above say AW "used to own" the house but then say a different family "is living there." Could the house be rented but still owned by AW?

The inside of the house looks like it was pretty recently renovated - not super fancy but a higher-end rental or good starter home. It looks like there are two kitchens so there's like an inlaw apartment.

 

[Alethea]

An attic fire seems super weird? What could possibly catch fire in your attic? In New England it's usually just super insulated.

In North Jersey? I remember that,but couldn't tell you the names. Some sort of long running essentially dumb feud with them?

Just too much of a coincidence that her former residence is on fire, imo. Wonder what kind of outbuildings the former home has? Like a pool house or summer house where someone could hide out? Or stash something? Or someone?

Pure speculation.

Nope. Per Realtor.com it sold 3/17/22.
