A missing Massachusetts mother-of-three posted a photo of an eye injury five years ago and wrote that she had a ‘mild concussion, bruised hip, and a cut.’
Ana Walshe, 39, who was reported missing by her job on January 4, posted a vulnerable photo of herself with facial injuries on May 21, 2018.
The post featured a photo of her lying on a couch with a swollen lump and cut above her left eye as she looked sadly into the camera. She wrote: ‘Mild concussion, bruised hip and a cut…#vunberability.’
She edited the caption 35 weeks ago, according to Instagram, which was around the same time she wrote a letter to Judge Douglas Woodcock asking him to impose a no-jail sentence on her husband Brian, 47. She claimed her art fraudster spouse brought ‘joy’ and ‘comfort’ to their home.
It is unclear what the original caption said. She also changed other captions on her Instagram prior to sending the June 1, 2022, letter.
Ana Walshe, 39, posted a vulnerable photo of herself with facial injuries on May 21, 2018, but the photo caption was edited eight months ago. She edited the caption to read: ‘Mild concussion, bruised hip and a cut… #vunberability’
She edited the caption around the same time she wrote a letter to a judge asking him to impose a no-jail sentence on her art fraudster husband Brian, 47 (pictured together)
Brian was convicted in April 2021 of selling two fake Andy Warhol paintings for $80,000 to a California dealer, court records said.
Former Assistant US Attorney Neama Rahman told Fox News that it was a ‘reasonable explanation’ that the mother-of-three of was ‘victim of domestic violence.’
‘This looks like domestic violence,’ he told the outlet about the May 2021 post. ‘It’s just speculation, but this looks like she was punched.’
In the June 2022 letter, Ana wrote her husband helped her and her mother through a very hard time after her mother suffered a neurological medical emergency.
‘Not only did he save her life, but he also brought her and the entire family comfort and joy during the course of her illness,’ Ana wrote. She went on to point out that her husband had been doing a lot of ‘charity work’ during that time and was ‘working consistently on breaking the past habits of his family.’
‘We are all looking forward to the new chapter of his life,’ she concluded.
In another edited Instagram post from November 2021, she changed the caption to read: ‘Please join my husband Brian as he hosts his workshop this evening at 7pm. Eventbrite link in bio.’
The event was reportedly based around helping participants find out how their ’emotional world is standing in the way of your financial health,’ the New York Post reported.

Brian, who did not report her disappearance to the police, pleaded not guilty on Monday to misleading the investigation into her disappearance. He has yet to be charged with anything else in connection to his wife’s disappearance.
The couple hosted a New Year’s Eve party, with friends saying that there was ‘no indication of anything’ in the hours before Ana vanished.
Ana had been sitting on a barstool in their kitchen, texting her friends during the meal and party – appearing in good spirits.
The couple had been staying in separate homes, with Ana commuting to DC for work and staying in their $1.4million property there.

However, their friends said she was acting strangely in the months leading up to her disappearance and had even promised a ‘big surprise’ in 2023. She also reportedly sold off assets, including an apartment and car in late December for cash.
Police recently found potential evidence of her disappearance when they found a hatchet, a blood rug, and cleaning supplies at a Peabody trash facility not far from the couple’s home.
Police seized the two dumpsters outside Brian’s mother’s condo in Swampscott after he was seen on security footage by it just hours after his wife disappearance.
The garbage bin is located on Paradise Road, with a camera near a Whole Foods Market – with Walshe telling authorities that he stopped at the store while running errands for his mother.

According to 7 News sources, the liquor store has refused to share the footage with the public, adding that Walshe was not seen on footage inside Whole Foods.
Walshe told authorities during his interview that he had done some shopping for his mother, Diana, on New Year’s Day at the supermarket and CVS – which is across the street from her home.
He is currently on house arrest with an ankle tag after pleading guilty to 2021 fraud charges but is allowed to leave the property to run certain errands.
Officials announced that they had discovered blood in the basement of the Walshe family home in Cohasset, along with a bloody knife that was damaged.
They met after Ana moved from Belgrade, Serbia, aged 25 while she was working at the Wheatleigh Hotel in the Berkshires.
She met him after she cleaned his apartment, with Walshe becoming her second husband after she split with Mark Kripp.
