I'm not sure his father could prove it or didn't want to press charges against him for running off with $800,000. The money was the gain of a house that his father sold. Brian's father didn't have anything to do with is son after this. His father was a doctor who eventually left Brian out of his will. Brian destroyed the will and fought other family members for the proceeds. 


Wow - this man is just an all around LOSER.  I have to wonder what the missing wife ever saw in him?

Those poor little boys!!  Saw on the news this morning that they are trying to keep them together, maybe with their grandmother in Europe.  Didn't hear what country.

 

They are now in the hands of the state (scary) and could be separated and put in foster homes.  That just sickens me.  They lost both parents and now may lose each other???  Unthinkable!!  I pray for them!

NEWTON, Mass. — Two friends of Ana Walshe are making a plea to the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families about the missing mother’s three sons. Natasha Sky and Pamela Bardhi told Boston 25 News they have reason to believe that the boys, between the ages of 2 and 6, could be placed in foster care by the end of the week. They said they’re worried that the children could potentially be separated on top of what they’ve already been through over the last 11 days.

 

Sky is the founder of the Sky International Center. The non-profit, which Ana was involved with, is a business and social network for international professionals. According to Sky, two families involved in the non-profit are going through the court process to appeal for custody of the kids. â€śThey’re two families who have had play dates over and over already. They’re two families who are willing to adapt and take all three boys together,” said Sky.

Sky said she’s also more than willing to take in the children herself at her Newton home.

 

“Our focus right now is the children. That’s why we want to appeal to the local authorities, especially DCF,” explained Sky. “If the children can stay together, that is what we are putting our energy into.”

 

A spokesperson with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families confirmed to Boston 25 that the three boys remained in DCF custody as of Wednesday night. â€śDue to state and federal privacy requirements, there is no further information,” said the spokesperson.


“You’ve got three boys under six years old dealing with what could be extreme trauma. You don’t know what they heard that night or what they saw that night,” said Bardhi. “God knows what they’re in for.”

 

Sky International is now raising funds for the Walshe children and also to fly Ana’s mother from Serbia to Massachusetts.

With their mother missing, and their father in jail, accused of "misleading" investigators, it is not unusual for children to be under state custody, even if, or when, family or friends are willing to temporarily care for them. There has been no reporting that they might be sent to their grandmother in Serbia.

Ana has a sister in Toronto and two of Ana's friends are seeking temporary custody so that the kids won't be separated in foster care. Also the friends are trying to raise money to get the grandmother here to the states.

One can only hope that trauma upon trauma is not heaped upon these three innocent children.

 

If the grandmother is strong and willing, I hope she can become their guardian/protector.

 

Sometimes, friends (who are typically younger than the grandparent) who hold high ideals can be heaven-sent substitutes for tragically missing parents.

 

Prayers for these three lads; may they be protected and go into the care of an individual who is sincerely interested in their welfare.

Boston station WCVB:

 

COHASSET, Mass. —

A newly discovered police complaint that was filed by missing Massachusetts woman Ana Walshe prior to her marriage to Brian Walshe reveals trouble between the couple as far back as the summer of 2014.

According to a public incident report filed in Washington, DC, Ana Knipp, her maiden name, told Metropolitan Police Department that Brian Walshe, "made a statement over the telephone that he was going to kill [Ana] and her friend."

 

The police incident report dated August 2, 2014, does not specifically name Brian Walshe, but police confirm to 5 Investigates' Karen Anderson that he is the person associated with that complaint.

Police said that the investigation into potential offenses described as felony threats in the incident report was closed because Ana Walshe never cooperated with the investigation.

No charges were ever filed, but the report is another potential sign that Brian Walshe may not have been the man many thought him to be.

The missing woman's husband remains in custody on a charge of misleading the investigation and the couple's children are in the custody of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families.

I'd like to know what she saw in him in the first place.  He looks and acts like a real slug.  Was he just her ticket to the US?
