A psychotherapist who specializes in domestic violence says she suspects missing wife Ana Walshe "was in an abusive relationship where she was endangered."
The 39 year old has been
missing since New Year's Day, while her husband—convicted conman Brian Walshe—has been charged with misleading investigators after allegedly
lying about his whereabouts on January 2.
It has transpired that Ana Walshe had
once called the police in fearthat Brian Walshe was going to kill her after he allegedly threatened her and a friend. Photos have also emerged showing the mom-of-three with facial injuries, although there is no evidence her husband was responsible.
In a court case about a financial dispute back in 2019, Brian Walshe was described by a family friend as "a sociopath but also a very angry and
physically violent person."
The missing 39-year-old mom enjoyed a successful career in real estate while her husband sat at home under house arrest for fraud.
