The Massachusetts man whose wife mysteriously vanished on New Year’s Day ““was taught to lie and hide” as a child, his now-missing spouse said in a 2021 letter trying to keep the convicted art fraudster out of prison.
Ana Walshe, a 39-year-old real estate executive who went missing after leaving her family’s Cohasset home on Jan. 1, submitted the letter to the court in support of her husband Brian, detailing what she claimed was a horrific childhood. She said she saw “suffering in his life” when they first met, attributing his fragile mental state to his upbringing.
“He was taught to lie and hide,” Ana wrote. “He was told that he was a loser, that his parents should not have had him, that he had no chances of making anything of himself in life, and that he was a lost cause. A deep sense of shame governed his life.”
