In his first interview with law enforcement, Brian Walshe opened up about the stressors in his and his wife’s lives, including the federal fraud case he was awaiting sentencing for when she disappeared.

A recording of a police interview on Jan. 4, 2023, played in court on Monday as Cohasset Police Sgt. Harrison Schmidt, a detective at the time of Ana Walshe’s disappearance, took the stand.

The interview took place on the first day that the Cohasset Police Department was alerted that Ana Walshe was missing. Ana Walshe’s employer in Washington, D.C., Tishman Speyer, reported her missing at about noon that day.

Schmidt arrived at the couple’s Cohasset household on Chief Justice Highway at about 6:30 p.m. that night, nearly four days since anyone had last seen Ana Walshe alive.
