Ana Walshe: Latest on the Missing Massachusetts mom

Horrifying new details have emerged about the case of missing Cohasset mother Ana Walshe as her husband Brian Walshe appeared in court on Wednesday charged with her murder.

Brian Walshe was arraigned in Quincy District Court on Wednesday morning where he pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

Prosecutors laid out some of the evidence against him revealing that Mr Walshe made several chilling internet searches after his wife was last seen alive.

“How long before a body starts to smell?” and what “ammonia” and “baking soda” does to a body were among the searches.

Mr Walshe was also allegedly spotted dumping garbage bags in various dumpsters, prosecutors said.

Ms Walshe, 39, was last seen in the early hours of 1 January at her home in Cohasset, Massachusetts and was reported missing on 4 January.

Mr Walshe, a convicted arts fraudster, claims to have last seen her when she left for the airport on New Year’s Day.

He was arrested on 8 January and pleaded not guilty to hindering the police investigation into her disappearance.

On Tuesday, Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey announced that a murder warrant had been issued for Mr Walshe.
