Massachusetts police investigating the death of missing murdered mother Ana Walshe received a ransom note demanding $127,000, it has been revealed.
The note was sent to Cohasset Detective Harrison Schmidt on Jan. 7, about a week after she was reportedly killed, and said, “We’ve got the so-called Ana Walshe here with us…we had a deal worth $127,000.”
‘She messed up..we have her here with us and if she doesn’t pay the money..she’s never coming back, and we know the police and FBI are involved.. Good luck finding us. ‘
It was emailed from a man named Richard Walker, and Detective Schmidt received it three days after Walshe’s name was added to the National Crime Information Center Database, the Boston sphere reported.
Mm-of-three Walshe, a property manager, was allegedly beaten to death on New Year’s Eve 2022 after her husband, Brian Walshe, discovered an alleged affair.
A ransom note was sent to Massachusetts police investigating the disappearance of Ana Walshe, pictured above, days after details of her case were made public
Walshe is due to appear in court on Thursday. He shook his head as the charges were read
Ana and Brian were parents of three young sons. He lined up to collect a $2.7 million life insurance policy in the event of his wife’s death, but insists he didn’t need the money
Brian, 47, has been charged over claims he killed her over the affair and then dismembered and disposed of her body in the family’s basement.
Investigators believed that the ransom message was suspicious and likely fake, as it did not contain any further details on how to respond.
Walshe’s body was never found
News of Walsh’s disappearance had spread widely by the time it was sent.
Her body was never found.
Days before Walshe disappeared, she told a friend she thought Brian would eventually go to jail on an art fraud charge.
She added that she was planning to leave her husband and move to Washington DC, it is alleged.
Brian Walshe was charged last week. He denies the murder of his missing wife, who was the mother of the couple’s three sons.
Norfolk Superior Court was told how Brian’s mother had previously followed Walshe on a trip to Washington D.C. because she suspected her daughter-in-law was cheating on her son.
Brian Walshe is shown purchasing cleaning supplies, a hacksaw, ax and other items from Lowes on January 1, hours after he allegedly killed his wife Ana.
Walshe pushes his cart through the home improvement store. He is accused of killing and dismembering Ana around 4:30 am on January 1
Brian is accused of obsessively checking the Instagram account of a man he thought Walshe was cheating on him with.
He also lined up to collect a $2.7 million life insurance policy in the event of her death, though Brian’s family maintains he was wealthy enough not to need that money.
Surveillance grabs released by prosecutors also allegedly show him purchasing a hacksaw, ax and cleaning supplies from a Lowes store.
He must appear in court again in August.
