MA MA - Ana Walshe - Supposedly Left Home in Rideshare to Airport - Cohasset #2

[rkendmar]

So what is the true story??
If his mother was at his place after cataract surgery, then how could she drive herself home? How was her car there? Apparently the plan was that he would look after her and then drive her home. But miraculously she drove herself home and her car was at Brian's place. If the plan was that Brian was going to drive her home, her car wouldn't have been there. That doesn't jive.

Was his mother at his house or not? Curious minds want to know.

1) Today, many patients drive themselves home from the actual surgery (laser). It's likely that BW's mother could have driven herself home from the Cohasset house at any time, if she wished to do so.
2) I assumed the "family member" who saw Ana leaving the house at 4am on New Year's Day was the MIL, but LE has not clarified this.
3) If you have not read the MIL's letter to the judge (Affidavit DW) you should...it's quite something.

Yeah… Something tells me the list of dumb things he’s done is a long one. He’s a fraud. Frauds are liars, and in my opinion, particularly disgusting human beings. I feel terrible for her, knowing that she was saddled to this loser because once a liar, always a liar… so that said, who knows if she really ever truly knew the guy she was married to… which is not a character flaw of hers, but of his.

And to have three children with this man, creates a whole other subset of problems. Difficult to just cut the cord when children are involved. Sad all the way around. JMO

Good Lord, poor Ana. I'm sure she was told all sorts of stories by this man. After reading the Globe article I'm wondering if she finally confronted a lie, or questioned him about something and he flipped out. It sounds like he has absolutely no respect for any rules, the rules don't apply to him. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for her to continually try to work through things. Calling her mother and begging her to come out would indicate that Ana had finally hit the wall and needed outside help, imo. So many friends but it seems she had no one to help her when she needed it most.

You summed up my sentiments for this evening pretty perfectly. Honestly, I almost feel like I could cry reflecting on these things because it really is that heartbreaking.

If it comes out that this played out the way it looks like it did - hopefully they will have enough evidence to convict this creep. My concern here is that - given that BW and/or his family have plenty of $ - an expensive, high-powered defense lawyer will get him off. We have all seen cases before where people who are obviously guilty of a crime still walk.

That being said, I hope my concerns about this are groundless.

It seems like it would’ve been much more accurate for them to state that he is of half Middle Eastern descent… Islam is a religion, it’s not an ethnicity… and as far as we know, facts-wise, I don’t think we have any info on his religious beliefs, or if he is practicing or not. It would appear he did get his middle name Reza, potentially from his middle eastern roots on his mother’s side. If you comb through those court documents I mentioned, it paints a very interesting picture of his family (with regard to his own childhood, mother and father — not his family with Ana) and how that whole thing fractured. Either way, even if his father was a bad guy (which, we don’t even know if he was — these assertions only seem to originate with BW, and seem to be refuted by a myriad of others in those docs), it doesn’t give BW license to grow up to be an egregious human being… I can’t stand that… people who blame others for the evil they do and become. He’s a big boy, and he’s about to face some big boy consequences. Sorry if I seem super grumpy about this guy at the moment… It’s just the more we’re learning about how truly devious he is, the more it irks me that he’s been able to get away with all this deception for so long, and most of all, was so appallingly deceptive to his own wife. She seems like such a good-hearted person, positive, a ray of sunshine and someone who believes in the best in others… And as a conman, BW exploited that. I believe he is an evil person, and for reasons we do not yet know, somehow it ultimately cost his sweet wife her life… and their three little children will never be the same. It’s not ok.

You and I are on the same page Petunia. That is why I found the "half Moslem" construction problematic.
And yes Reza is a Farsi name.

As far as his mental health, I think we should allow that while we should not use it to excuse behavior, unless it really rises to the level where a person does not know reality from non reality, or has some deep damage to brain, it is useful if we make an effort to understand.

This guy is a devious person who looks to have exploited and used people, family and strangers, as a vocation.
And you are right even if his father was imperfect that is hadly an excuse. Huge numbers of people have much more difficult challenges in their childhood (his kids will for sure) without harming anyone.

Without arm-chairing his mental health and guessing, I will say I am interested though in his pathologies. I think it is relevant he was institutionalized for disorders and I think we as a society out to keep learning about mitigating disorders.

According to Brian’s mother, Diana Walshe, “My son is the ONLY reason I get up in the morning. He is the ONLY person to take care of me and he is always there.”

"His mother details in the four-page letter that she relies on Brian for everything even bringing her to all her appointments, after multiple lung cancer surgeries and other health issues.

“Unfortunately, I do not have a good relationship with my daughter-in-law, perhaps due to cultural differences. Therefore, my son is the one and only constant in my life, taking care of me and ensuring I have some joy by seeing my grandchildren,” said Diana Walshe.

Walshe’s mother continues applauding Brian for being the main caregiver for all three of his sons, not mentioning Ana once.

“He cooks, shops, cleans, plays, communicates boundaries, and reads bedtime stories. If it were not for my son, my relationship with my grandsons would come to a halt,” Diana Walshe wrote."

Brian Walshe: Court docs reveal struggles with mental health, relationship between Ana & his mother

Brian Walshe was born into a Massachusetts family with “economic means” but his childhood was hardly considered “privileged,” according to more than a dozen character letters sent to a federal judge in September 2021.

I am not a psychiatrist, but I would assume that a long stint under psychiatric care (whether inpatient or outpatient) might involve a person being taught such things as self-awareness, how to avoid damaging behaviors, that actions have consequences, etc etc. However, it seems to have been water off a duck's back.

He self-admitted himself to the facility at Austen Riggs but his stay was cut short because his parents argued over who would pay the medical expense. The bill went unpaid. The facility filed a non payment suit against him.

Even as recently as his letter to the Judge in the fraud sentencing, in the last line or so he writes:

"I am not a danger to society."

He's possibly a compulsive prevaricator.

moo mhoo

I'm wondering if he self admitted because he made some deal with his parents or was trying to give a pretense of being "better", seeing the error of his ways. The same behavior that he showed in his letter of remorse to the courts after his art fraud. We don't see him paying back all the people he wronged, including giving back the money to his father's estate, but he feels real bad about getting caught fraudulently selling artwork.

I'm confused. I thought he was under house arrest. Isn't he only supposed to leave the house to do necessary things?

So when I see something really obvious like a possible murder weapon being found in the basement of a person's house, I start to think that well, maybe someone is trying to frame them.

In every case so far it hasn't been that. It's just been that the perpetrator is really stupid.

So true.

The same thing when a child goes missing---and someone always says ' maybe the neighbor accidentally ran over the child, then hid the body out of fear.'

And in every case so far, it hasn't been that.

Ana's best friend. While Brian and Ana were having problems, Ana loved her husband-referred to him as her best friend and trusted him completely.

Ana Walshe’s best friend shares insight about the relationship between Brian & Ana

Boston 25 talks to Kirvy who describes the last time she saw the missing Cohasset mom and gives insight to the arguments Ana allegedly was having with Brian.

www.boston25news.com

Wow, Ana's friend seems to confirm what many here have been speculating all along - that Ana wanted so much to be back in DC with her children that it was causing stress in the marriage.

Ana's friend says that Ana and Brian had had many fights about when they were finally going to move to DC and when Ana was going to be with her kids. That was Ana's priority. They were experiencing a lot of stress, it had been a tense Christmas, but there was never an indication that Ana feared for her life or her safety.

Thank you for posting this.

Heartbreaking. MOO

Whatever happened, Ana didn't see it coming. She truly loved Brian and wanted her family. It really does break your heart.

I'd wondered this too. In the Boston Globe article someone linked earlier, it says that he has certain exemptions concerning taking his children to and from school. Apparently he and the oldest child did this during what would normally be a school drop-off morning time on January 2 when there was no school. My guess is it wouldn't be allowed since not dropping off for school, but him not being at home at the time wouldn't automatically be flagged since this is apparently an established exemption. MOO

Buying $450 in cleaning supplies, including a tyvek suit, is absolutely suspicious when the person is on ankle bracelet monitoring, their wife is missing, and and they lie about buying those cleaning supplies and instead tell authorities they are taking their son for ice cream. MOO.

If he is on an ankle monitor, how is he allowed to take his son out for ice cream. I thought you were only allowed to go to work or doctor's appts?

never mind---I just saw getthefax's explanation...thx

He was allowed to leave the house at certain times for various reasons - I don' know if this was one of them. MOO

He'd bounced from U to U in an attempt to find his place in the world. The job as the personal driver led him to meet very wealthy people and enabled him to form international relationships that behooved his illegal endeavors.

I don't think he has regrets from screwing over an LA art dealer or anyone else. He was "charming" the Judge with his new direction in life as an effort to stay out of jail. He's putting the con on the Judge. imho

The reason BW couldn't move to DC was he was under house arrest and couldn't leave the state of MA. Also, there was an upcoming sentencing hearing for his fraud case.
I'm wondering if Ana's friend actually knew about Brian's legal status?

Hard to say. While I can't imagine Ana didn't mention that, it's not apparent from what her friend describes. MOO

And, it seems, he always finds a way to be the victim and never taking responsibility.
