Ana Walshe case prosecutor tells Telegraf.rs: Brian in court on Thursday, here's how he will answer questions

Brian Walshe, accused of murdering his wife Ana Walshe, who went missing on January 1, will appear again in court in Quincy, Massachusetts, on Thursday, February 9. He pleaded not guilty during the first hearing on January 18, while the body of the missing Serbian woman has still not been found.

Telegraf.rs contacted the office of Norfolk District Attorney Mike Morrissey, which confirmed that the hearing is scheduled for 9 am local time.

"Brian Walshe is expected to participate via Zoom, the hearing is scheduled for January 9 at 9 am. It is unlikely that it will be open to the public," David Traub, from the public relations office of the district attorney's office, told Telegraf.rs.

The district attorney's office declined to comment further on the Ana Walshe case, as the investigation is still ongoing.

Ana Walshe, a mother of three who lived with her family in Cohasset, disappeared on January 1, but was not reported missing until three days later. As it became known in the meantime, Ana's disappearance was reported by her employer from Washington DC when she failed to show up at work on January 4.

During that time, her husband Brian Walshe, who was under house arrest and wearing an ankle monitor because of a diffrerent crime, was filmed buying $450 worth of cleaning supplies. At a Home Depot store, he bought a saw, an ax, a protective suit, and more cleaning items.

Investigators found biological evidence at a garbage processing site, including the purse, necklace and boots Ana was wearing when she was last seen, as well as a vaccination card with her name on it.

Among the evidence are Ana's DNA, as well as that of Brian found at the site, located near his mother's house, as well as 10 bags containing objects with blood.

At the hearing on January 18, the prosecutor presented a list of things Brian Walshe had searched on Google on his son's iPad. According to the prosecutor, he researched how to get rid of a body, how long it takes for a body to decompose, how to clean blood and many other disturbing questions.

Prosecutors said a bloody knife and a second knife were found in the basement of the Walshe family home.

Ana's mother Milanka Ljubicic repeatedly said in statements for Telegraf that she does not believe her daughter is dead.

Ljubicic was in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which got involved in this case, and was interviewed. At that time, she was informed about the procedures that are carried out in cases of disappearance or death of Serbian citizens abroad, as well as about the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this regard.

The Ministry then announced that the Ministry of Justice, as well as the diplomatic and consular missions of Serbia in the US, have not been contacted by the US authorities regarding this case, given that Ana Walshe is a US citizen, and that there were no requests from Ana's family members for the Ministry's actions involving US institutions.

Walshe is accused of beating his wife Ana to death in the basement of their Cohasset, Massachusetts home in the early morning hours of January 1, dismembering her body and getting rid of it.
