At a transfer station in Massachusetts, investigators looking into the disappearance of mother Ana Walshe discovered bloody garbage bags, a hatchet, a hacksaw, a rug, and used cleaning products, according to reports.
The things were discovered at a transfer station in Peabody, which is located about 46 miles from Cohasset, the location of Walshe's last known whereabouts as a mother of three.
After a New Year's Eve meal at her house with her husband and a friend, Walshe, 39, was last seen alive in the early hours of January 1. She allegedly took a rideshare to Logan International Airport in order to catch a trip to Washington, but investigators have uncovered no proof that she recently drove anywhere or flew anywhere from Logan. Her credit cards and cellphone have been inactive since her disappearance.
In connection with his wife's disappearance, her husband, Brian Walshe, is presently jailed on a $500,000 bond. He is accused of misleading authorities. On his behalf, a not guilty plea has been made. The state's Department of Children and Families is in charge of their children, who range in age from two to six.
Prosecutors claim that Brian Walshe was observed spending $450 on cleaning materials, including mops, buckets, tarps, and tape, at a home improvement store the day after Walshe vanished. According to court documents, Brian Walshe did not inform the police about the visit during which he was allegedly sporting a black surgical mask and blue surgical gloves.
The couple's home's basement also contained a broken knife and blood. The investigation team for CBS Boston was also informed by sources that Brian Walshe's car has been seized and seems to have recently been cleaned.
In Wareham, Massachusetts, state police also searched an incinerator but came up empty-handed. According to CBS Boston, anything brought to the plant more than a day ago would have already been destroyed because the facility converts waste into electricity in less than a day.
A spokeswoman for Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey declined to corroborate the findings of the Peabody transfer station in a statement on Tuesday.
According to spokesman David Traub, "search activities undertaken yesterday north of Boston resulted in the collection of a number of objects, which will now be processed and tested to see if they are of evidential value to this case." "At this point, no information on those goods will be given."
