In this episode of Crime Estate, we break down the full case against Brian Walshe, from his art fraud schemes and family betrayals to the chilling searches found on an iPad after Ana vanished on New Year’s Eve 2022. Despite no body ever being recovered, prosecutors argued Ana’s murder was planned — and the jury agreed.
We also take a deep dive into the Cohasset, MA home where prosecutors say the crime occurred, the extensive damage left behind, and the lawsuit now tied to the property’s dark history.
