Boston Globe Article

 

[AmandaSkis]

I am positive multiple here did the same!

Okay, so I obviously did so as well. It's actually not all that helpful. The top few results were news articles about him and that google search, and those news articles were scattered throughout the results. Then most of the links were to articles about losing weight.

It wasn't until the 43rd result that I finally got a relevant answer! They suggested dissolving the body in lye and then burning any remains-- well, okay, they didn't suggest it really, they talked about a case where a man did that to a 115-pound woman he killed. Result #58 talked about Jeffrey Dahmer similarly dissolving bodies in acid (which I knew, because of the Netflix documentary).

It is probably impractical for him to try either lye or acid, but maybe he did buy barrels and acid at the Home Depot. They sell muriatic acid for balancing swimming pools, and different size storage containers. He does not seem to be the brightest and appeared to be panicking so maybe he would actually try to enact the top solutions suggested by such a search.

I mean, things can't get much crazier.

Based on previous behaviors of the husband, he likely chose the easiest disposal method. This guy ain't worked hard in his entire life and he isn't going to start now.

I'm afraid to commit any crimes, just because my search history might be revealed!

Ha! I told my bf not to go mysteriously missing or have some freak accident home because of my long love for true crime and my online searches Im totally going to jail

I think IMO it was in the court filings that it was his partner who took the pictures. It was his partner who went to the hingham house to get keys for Brian and saw the will. His partner IIRC was a designer not a lawyer.

I was thinkning the DM prob just got that wrong. IMO

That's what I originally thought....that it was the father's architect partner.
This DM article confused me, but they do get stuff wrong sometimes.

I thought it was stated early on that her bags went with her when she left on her “emergency trip”

What we know so far about the disappearance of Ana Walshe, the missing mother from Cohasset

Ana Walshe, a 39-year-old married mother of three, was reported missing on Jan. 4, 2023. Read more on Boston.com.

www.boston.com

“Police were told her husband was sleeping when she left and Walshe had bags with her at that time, he said.” (From above source, quotes not working)


I would bet dollars to donuts that she was dismembered and packed in her bags to go out the door.

IMOO

Hacksaw, hatchet and blood found in search for missing mom of 3 Ana Walshe

Police have found a hatchet, blood, a hacksaw, trash bags, used cleaning supplies, and a rug at a transfer station in the search for missing Massachusetts mom Ana Walshe, sources revealed Tuesday.

nypost.com

I find that theory appalling and infuriating, but also plausible unfortunately… thankfully (if I dare even use that word as related to ANYTHING that has to do with this tragedy), it appears her husband was abundantly stupid in the execution of his crimes, this one included, so hopefully there is plenty of evidence that will secure a conviction and ensure this dirtbag is never again afforded freedom, or a future opportunity to harm another human being again. Does anyone know off-hand if Massachusetts a death penalty state?

Hey all,Ive been following this closely.I was just checking out Linkedin,and came across a video she did for a charity.If anyone wanted any indication what her voice sounds like...Its under her profile,and posts,its a couple years old.

Saw that she was posting about and recommending a 2.5 hr. finance workshop her husband was doing. Wonder how much the fee was. Sounds like a Pyramid scheme type thing. JMO. Ana Walshe on LinkedIn: Money is Emotional

Ana Walshe investigation uncovers hatchet, hacksaw found in trash facility: report

Massachusetts police find hatchet, hacksaw and trash bags with blood while investigating case of missing Cohasset mom Ana Walshe, according to a new report.

www.foxnews.com

While the entirety of this article is awful, when I read “The couple's three boys, ages 2, 4 and 6, are in state custody, a law enforcement source told Boston 25 news.”, my heart BROKE. I read another interview yesterday between Fox News and Ana’s sister, and she said her, and her (and Ana’s) mother’s biggest concern right now is for those boys, being that they are without their mother and their father… from what I gleaned from that interview with her sister, I believe that she also lives overseas in Europe? I hope that Ana’s sister and/or mother are able to get to the US ASAP, so they can rescue these boys from what must be an extremely upsetting and confusing situation for them, in unfamiliar state custody on top of it… Especially given their ages… 2, 4 and 6… these are such young and formative years, I worry about how this will impact them long-term, but if they can be placed with Ana’s family, assuming the children are familiar with and feel safe with them… hopefully they will at least be afforded a chance at some sort of future normalcy if they can be given stability and love - as well as provided with the appropriate emotional, psychological and professional support needed… otherwise I worry. I’ve seen so many people’s lives utterly derailed and watched them endure a lifetime of pain because they experienced unresolved early childhood trauma. These little boys are innocent and don’t deserve that if it can be at all helped.

Quoting my own post. I was mistaken, it was the father's attorney who took pictures of the will before Brian destroyed it.

Particulars here, as well as all the valuables he stole from the estate.

Husband of missing mom broke into his father's' house to DESTROY will

DailyMail.com can reveal that he was accused by his family of stealing nearly a million dollars from his father Dr Thomas Walshe before the pair became estranged in 2009.

www.dailymail.co.uk

interesting. I would have expected BW to make sure there was an easily findable body if his motives for killing Ana were financial (life insurance). So I suspect she was about done with him and the marriage and that is what triggered her murder. My own speculation after reading the article about BW's past misdeeds re his father's estate

Not sure if this was posted yet....

Friend who attended Ana Walshe's New Year's Eve party speaks out

 

[GuyfromCanada]

JAN 10

A defense attorney said her client has been "incredibly cooperative" with police.

"He is not charged with murder. He's charged with misleading investigators by not saying, as I understand it, if he went to a Home Depot," Walshe's attorney said.

Brian Walshe was held on $500,000 and is set to return to court on Feb. 9.

I know they're just doing their job but good gravy the gaslighting type comments defense attorneys make just drive me up a wall.

NO, he was arrested for lying. Straight up.
He's not charged with murder YET, because of the protocol of properly ID'ing the evidence collected.

I think some of the allegations (on both sides) in the estate litigation need to be taken with some salt - and not just a grain. Family law is incredibly complicated in that it's almost impossible to get both sides to look at things objectively.

What I can gather from the public estate litigation documents suggests that BW's parents divorced when he was 8. The sides seem to disagree on why, with one side claiming the family was dysfunctional and the other side claiming one party left to live an unconventional lifestyle. The answer is probably in the middle and similar to many divorces: the parties did not want to be married anymore.

I think it's interesting that BW seems to trace all of his problems back to his parents' divorce that occurred when he was 8. Yet, he names his son after his dad. You can read from that either his childhood was not that bad since he wanted his son to have his dad's name despite their differences OR that this was part of a long con!! I don't know which is true but it's weird to me.

The counterpoint to this is that most marriages these days engage in divorce and it is not an excuse to live a life of crime or kill your spouse.

LE aren't looking at any other scenario outside of their home, either.
It's telling.

well ... no wonder the HD bill was $450! I'm thinking it included a hacksaw and hatchet! I imagine as soon as they identify whose blood is on these items, there will be a murder charge.

I saw a comment up thread about an interview with Ana's sister who lives in Toronto, Canada. I'd appreciate a link to that interview if it's acceptable on WS. I sure hope she can take the kids. Moo

I wonder if there is a way to verify a stay at a psychiatric hospital. This guy shared what he BELIEVED to be true but does not necessarily mean it IS true. I do think there is something seriously wrong with Brian but I take most information with a grain of salt until it is substantiated. Same with things in media or twitter that say 'Source says..." That's just the way I read through all the information on the forums. It could be true, but I would like to see more. Interesting stuff though!!

I also question this. Long term inpatient stays are not the norm, especially with a personality disorder diagnosis. I would believe a short inpatient stay followed by "partial hospitalization" (PHP) or IOP. Also, inpatient stays are usually precipitated by something- drastic change in functioning, suicide attempt, etc. This is just my experience as a non-nurse, non-MD, non-therapist clinical professional at a large New England hospital.

This may have been mentioned before, but I found her on Instagram. She posted as recently as December 31, 2022. Lots of selfies, work related/career development-type content and pics of her sons. Last post with her husband in appears to be 2020, and includes her sons. There is a reference to "wine tasting at my husbands vineyard" in Spain in a 2018 post.

My personal theory..... she wasn't that into him and I think perhaps this was more of a financial arrangement for her (though by all accounts and referenced in Instragram she was also working in DC), and when some of his fraudulent activities came to light, she wanted or threatened to leave. Thinking things got heated and he killed her early morning January 1. I don't think it was planned. I feel for their sons.

A vineyard in Spain??
