There are 72 unaccounted for hours between when Ana Walshe was last seen and when she was reported missing, with no details about her whereabouts in between.
Walshe, 39, of Cohasset, Massachusetts, was last seen on New Year’s Day, but wasn’t reported missing until Jan. 4 by her Washington D.C. real estate firm.
A multi-jurisdiction police search led to Ana’s husband, Brian Walshe, who allegedly lied to investigators when he told them she had a work emergency on Jan. 1 and took a rideshare to the airport.
Police have said there’s no confirmation that she physically took the rideshare to the airport, and she never boarded a flight.
Brian Walshe was arrested and charged with misleading an investigation.

Ana Walshe’s employer, Tishman Speyer, reports her missing to Cohasset police.
Initially, police said her disappearance wasn’t suspicious, there was no evidence of foul play and her husband was cooperating.
That changed by the end of the week.
Jan. 6 and 7
Cohasset police teamed up with outside agencies, including the Massachusetts State Police, to search a wooded area near the Walshes’ home and several other locations on Friday and Saturday.
A task force reviewed surveillance footage to verify Brian Walshe’s whereabouts, which didn’t check out, according to the affidavit.
Investigators were seen going through the Walshes’ family pool and searched closer to the house on Saturday, but police didn’t provide an official update about what (or if) anything was found.
Before Saturday’s searches began, Cohasset Police Chief William Quigley told “Fox and Friends Weekend,” “Every hour, we’re getting more concerned for her well-being … We have more questions than answers.”

Jan. 13
A Cohasset police log in the days after Ana’s disappearance raised questions about when she vanished and when it was reported.
The log said police received a call for a well-being check Jan. 4, 2023, for Ana, and the caller said “he is the head security person for the company party works for, Tishman Speyer.”
The caller noted, “Company has contacted the husband … he has not filed a missing person report.”

On Jan. 13, Quincy District Court also revealed that search warrants were executed a day earlier in the investigation, but they were sealed, with no other information available.
