According to reports, a missing Massachusetts woman attempted to contact friends and family members hours before she vanished.
Ana Walshe, 39, attempted to contact her mother, sister, and maid-of-honor in Serbia at midnight and 1:00 a.m. on New Year's Eve, her mother, Milanka Ljubicic said in an interview with Fox News.
Missing Ana Walshe Case
The family members were asleep, and Walshe's friend was at a New Year's Eve party and did not hear her phone ring, Ljubicic said from her home in Belgrade, Serbia.
Walshe was last seen in the early morning hours of January 1 at her house in the seaside city of Cohasset, according to investigators. She was scheduled to use a ride-sharing service to Boston Airport that day to return to her real estate job in Washington, DC.
On January 4, worried coworkers reported her missing when she failed to report to work. Her 47-year-old husband, convicted art fraudster Brian Walshe, was arrested on January 8 and accused of deceiving detectives about her abduction. Ljubicic said that when they spoke a week earlier on Christmas Day, her daughter requested that she return the following day.
"This suggests that there must have been some issues," she added. Ljubicic recommended she schedule a New Year's visit, but her daughter told her not to worry. She remarked, "Now I can't forgive myself for not letting things fall where they may and simply letting whatever happens to me happen."
Prosecutors stated in a January 9 criminal complaint affidavit that they discovered blood and a knife in the basement of the family home, as per The Independent. In addition, they said that on January 2, Brian Walshe went to a Home Depot while wearing a black medical mask and black gloves and purchased $450 worth of cleaning goods using cash.
According to investigators, Mr. Walshe stated during questioning that he had visited a smoothie bar, Whole Foods, and CVS but omitted the Home Depot excursion. Mr. Walshe was under house confinement restrictions pending punishment for art fraud, but his cell phone data revealed he had visited other sites in Massachusetts that day.
Police searching for Ms. Walshe discovered blood, a hatchet, a hacksaw, a rug, and cleaning materials on January 9 at a Peabody transfer station. After being charged with deceiving police during their investigation into his wife's disappearance, Mr. Walshe is being jailed on a $500,000 bail.
After nearly two weeks, Ana Walshe is still missing, her husband is in jail for allegedly manipulating authorities, and their three young boys might be split in the foster care system.

Brian Walshe Was Called 'Sociopath'
Ana Walshe's friends are in tears as they beg her husband to help the police in this dire situation. During an emotional interview at her home, Natasha Sky told Fox News Digital, "For the sake of your children, have the dignity and the courage to rise and speak the truth about what occurred."
Sky never met Brian Walshe despite her decades-long connection with Ana, and she claims that Ana hid the art forger's criminal past.
Per IBT, the husband of a missing Massachusetts mother of three is an art forger. Brian Walshe was a "long-term patient" in a mental facility and was labeled a "sociopath," according to a friend of his late neurosurgeon father. According to Jeffrey Ornstein, Brian Walshe was freed from long-term therapy only a few years ago.
In a surprising 2019 confession, Ornstein, who had been acquainted with Dr. Thomas Walshe, Brian Walshe's father, for 35 years, made the disturbing revelations.
Several years ago, Brian Walshe was discharged from the Austen Riggs Psychiatric Center in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, according to Ornstein. Following being suspected of taking millions of dollars from Dr. Walshe's estate after his death, Walshe was separated from the rest of his family, according to the source.
