I want to give the husband the benefit of the doubt, but any time I do that with a case here I end up being wrong and feeling like an idiot. They've beaten the optimism out of me. Art fraud and murder are worlds apart but the willingness to commit a crime is the same in both cases.

The willingness to get something you want by immoral means.

Court docs linked in this article are interesting

Interesting indeed. I wonder if she was going to be charged soon in either the painting scam or the embezzlement, or something else. Something feels off about this couple.

I'm having reminders of Annie Le.
After an extensive search at Yale she was ultimately found encased in a wall in the lab where she was working.
House has a basement right?

Maybe I should go for a walk now......

Very interesting

Based on the affidavit it seems like both Ana and Ana’s MIL were involved in the scam to some degree:

The family dynamic in this house seems… off. MOO.

The results of my search for "disgusting swimming pools" on YouTube show that this...ecosystem must be several years old.

Not to mention taking $1M + from his dad which made his dad have to work past his desired retirement age

They've had dogs around the area, though, right?

Based on LE's activities and search locations, it seems like there is no supporting evidence to suggest she got very far from home that morning. You don't drain a pool in the backyard if you have better leads.

All that said, I was watching the interview with the police, and there was a really subtle nod before he began answering this question. His answer also was really interesting.

Yesterday was Brian and Ana's 8th wedding anniversary according to The Sun.

JAN 6, 2023

Who is Ana Walshe's husband, Brian Walshe?

MISSING 39-year-old mother Ana Walshe hasn’t been seen or heard from since New Year’s Day. Now, people are curious about who Ana Walshe’s husband is and why he didn’t report…

Am I the only one that finds it unusual for a mom to not contact her kiddo's for three or four days and no one be concerned? She had 3 toddlers that must miss their mommy and want to see her on or talk to her. I have grands and their mom's are always calling and saying let me talk to so and so. For there to be no contact for days and no one report it just blows my mind.

Yes, I find it so strange as to be entirely unbelievable. IMO

I wonder if there are any calls/texts from his cell to hers during that time.

 

[whitelilac]

Is it possible that Ana arranged to be picked up at one of the commercial establishments after trudging through those woods unseen? That she indeed took off, to protect herself?
I know....her kids.
But maybe she made arrangements for reunification after? when her husband goes to jail?

I'm reaching....

Mom of Three Mysteriously Vanishes After Leaving for D.C. Real-Estate Job

The husband of Ana Walshe—who went missing as she was supposed to catch a flight to work—is currently awaiting sentencing for allegedly selling two fake Warhols.

www.thedailybeast.com

given the fact that the husband has home confinement, would that rule out him taking her anywhere outside the house?

(might be a silly question, i’m not from
the US so i don’t exactly know how strict the rules are or whether there are loop holes)

Yes. I strongly belive this is what happened. She wanted a way out. Especially if there are possible legal ramifications for her as well. JMO

Exactly! And the fact that she participated in the art fraud scam makes it pretty easy to imagine her having information about some other activities that he doesn't want spoken about.

Are you saying suicide?

 

[PrincessIvy]

They are searching the stop and shop near there today. If you look at google mages it looks like unearthing going on. perhaps an easy burial spot. Also strange they their old house caught on fire friday. Husband is a convicted felon.

 

[mainemom376]

Are you saying suicide?

That was my first thought, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if she just ran. Clearly she has connections all over the world. And the means. It would not surprise me. JMO

Weapon ...

Curious about this IG post dated 3/17/22 - Ana Walshe on Instagram: "7 exciting years ago I left DC for love in Boston. 3 children (and a dog) later, time has come for us to go back. Right in time for Cherry Blossoms. #gratefulheart #excited #washingtondc #newjob #newbeginnings"
Was this right after they sold the Jerusleum Road house? Ana's post makes it sound as if the whole family is going back.

Good catch. This changes things for me. She wanted to move back to DC. She so wanted to move back to DC she got a fancy new job down there. She told the world the family was moving back to DC. Time for "us" to go back, not time for me to go back.

Now with her husband's charges, he likely couldn't leave MA. It looks like he may be facing jail time.

What if she was giving him some time to figure it out and planned to move with the kids down to DC in 2023?
