Ana Walshe, a mother of three, disappeared on New Year’s Day
The husband of missing Cohasset, Massachusetts, mother of three Ana Walshe arrived for his court appearance on Monday morning.
Brian Walshe, handcuffed and wearing a grey sweatshirt, tan slacks and what appeared to be plastic bags over his shoes, was escorted by Cohasset police officers into Quincy District Court.
The husband was arrested Sunday and charged with misleading a police investigation.

Walshe’s phone has been turned off since New Year’s Day. She was reported missing by her employer, Tishman Speyer, a high-end property management and real estate brokerage, and her family.

Brian Walshe previously pleaded guilty in April 2021 to one count each of wire fraud, interstate transportation for a scheme to defraud, possession of converted goods and unlawful monetary transaction, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.
