Here we are talking about Criminal Charges Ana Walshe Death Was Blamed on Brian Walshe. According to Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey, Brian Walshe has been charged with murder in the death of his wife, Ana Walshe, a Massachusetts mother-of-three who had been missing since the start of the year.
Walshe, 47, entered a not-guilty plea last week after admitting that he had misled detectives about his behavior in the days before his wife vanished. He is currently being held at the Norfolk County House of Corrections and will be sent to Quincy District Court on Wednesday to be charged with murder, according to Morrissey.
“Additional information in the investigation and the evidence supporting those charges are expected to be submitted before arraignment but will not be disclosed at this time,” the prosecutor added. Brian Walshe’s lawyer declined to comment. The arrest warrant was issued around two weeks after Ana Walshe’s place of employment reported her missing, prompting authorities to investigate her whereabouts.
According to prosecutors, police have discovered some gruesome evidence, including blood and a bloody knife in the basement of the family’s Cohasset home, searches for how to dismember and dispose of a body on Brian Walshe’s internet history, a hacksaw, and possibly bloodstains at a trash disposal site.

He claimed to have last seen his wife early on January 1 when she left their Cohasset home in a taxi or rideshare to go to the airport and board a trip to Washington, DC, for her real estate job, according to authorities. Later that day, he claimed he performed errands for his mother in neighboring Swampscott, and the next day, he claimed to have taken one of his kids for ice cream.
Prosecutors asserted that there was no proof Ana Walshe got a ride or arrived at the airport, and police stated in a criminal affidavit that there was no proof Walshe did errands for his mother on New Year’s Day. On January 2, Brian Walshe was captured on security footage at a Home Depot paying cash for $450 worth of cleaning materials, including mops, a bucket, and tarps.
Brian Walshe’s statements to police were a “clear attempt to mislead and delay investigators,” according to the affidavit. In court last week, the prosecutor’s remark “gave him time to either clean up evidence (or) dispose of evidence,” according to Lynn Beland. Tishman Speyer, her employer, filed a missing person’s report for her on January 4 after she failed to arrive for work.
According to Brian Walshe’s defense attorney Tracy Miner, he called her place of employment to inquire as to whether anyone there was aware of her movements before the establishment of jobs alerted the police. The client “has been tremendously cooperative,” according to Miner.
The former coworker of Ana Walshe, Pamela Bardhi, admitted that she was furious Tuesday night but also relieved that there had been developments in the case and actions taken toward responsibility.
Bardhi remarked, “I was hoping for the best but bracing for the worse.” “I got this terrible gut feeling and hoped I was wrong since I saw her missing social media updates that pals were publishing on the first day. I hoped against hope that it wasn’t. And now we learn that a murder charge was filed a few hours ago.
Brian Walshe Had Several Legal Issues
Following a spate of troubling legal troubles for Brian Walshe comes the murder warrant. He admitted admission to three federal charges of fraud in 2021 that were connected to a 2018 plot to sell phony Andy Warhol artwork online. Since then, as part of his pre-sentence requirements, he has been under house arrest and monitoring.
His father, Dr. Thomas Walshe, passed away in 2018, which sparked a protracted court dispute over his estate. Those close to the family accused Brian Walshe of financial impropriety in court records; they also portrayed him as an aggressive and violent individual and said he had been labeled a sociopath.
According to Andrew Walshe, the estate executor, the relationship between Dr. Walshe and Brian was strained. “Brian had stolen a sizeable portion of his money; throughout the past ten-plus years, he had hardly any communication with Brian R. Walshe.”
Furthermore, according to a Washington DC Metropolitan Authorities Department incident record CNN received, Ana Walshe reported to police in 2014 that someone had threatened to “murder (her) and her friend.” A department spokeswoman said Brian Walshe was the person engaged in the report.

When she lived in Washington, DC, Ana Walshe—then Ana Knipp—filed the report. The spokeswoman claimed that the victim’s refusal to assist with the prosecution led to the case ultimately being dismissed.
According to a spokeswoman, the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families has custody of the couple’s three children, who range in age from 2 to 6 years old.
