New developments in the Ana Walshe, a woman from Massachusetts, has been missing since New Year's Day. Her husband, Brian Walshe, has been charged with murder. Even though a body has not been discovered as of yet.
Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey released a video statement on Tuesday saying that his office has "been involved in an aggressive investigation into the fate of Anna Walshe" since she went missing on January 4.
Earlier in the investigation, the DA said, officers had found "reason to believe that her husband Brian Walshe, age 47, had misled police investigators on substantial matters crucial to the hunt for Anna Walshe."
He is being held at the Norfolk County House of Corrections on a "not guilty" plea, according to Mr. Morrissey. Police were able to get a murder charge against Brian Walshe after extensive investigation.
The murder charge against Walshe "will be transported to the Quincy District Court for arraignment," Mr. Morrissey said.
The district attorney noted that the evidence in support of the charges will be presented during arraignment but would not be made public until that time.
According to CNN's reporting, the District Attorney's office in Norfolk County said the arraignment might happen as early as 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
The arraignment date is "dependent on defense attorney availability," the office noted in a press release.
The district attorney added, "Our thoughts are very much with the family these atrocities have left behind."
Ms. Walshe was last seen on January 1st, about two weeks ago. A few days later, her whereabouts became unknown.
The mother of three was scheduled to return to work for a luxury real estate firm in Washington, DC on New Year's Day, but she never showed up.
There is no sign, according to the police, that she took a rideshare to Logan Airport in Boston on January 1 as planned.
On January 4th, after being reported missing by her husband and employer, authorities began searching the family's property in Cohasset, Massachusetts, as well as their residence in the Chevy Chase neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
Prosecutors claim that blood evidence and a knife were discovered in the basement of her family home on January 8, leading to the arrest of her husband, a convicted art fraudster, on counts of hindering the police investigation.
Two law enforcement officials briefed on the inquiry told CNN that Mr. Walshe had purchased $450 worth of products from a local Home Depot shop on 2 January, including cleaning supplies, mops, and tape, after conducting an internet search for "how to dispose of a 115-pound woman's body."
After Mr. Walshe's arrest, investigators reportedly collected blood, a hatchet, and a hacksaw while searching a waste transfer station.
Ms. Walshe was born in Belgrade, Serbia, and met Mr. Walshe in Lenox, where she was employed at the Wheatleigh Hotel, in 2008. They wed in 2015, and now they have three sons, aged two, four, and six.
After Mr. Walshe's arrest, the Department of Children and Families took custody of the couple's three young sons.
