Authorities have stopped their ground search for missing Massachusetts woman Ana Walshe, following her mysterious disappearance on New Year’s Day, officials said.
The 39-year-old mother and real estate executive was reported missing after she had an early flight from Boston to Washington, D.C. on Jan. 1, and left her home but never boarded her plane, Cohasset Police Chief William Quigley said.
“The ground search by Massachusetts State Troopers and Cohasset Police Officers for Ana Walshe or evidence related to her disappearance has concluded,” the two offices said in a joint statement Saturday.
“Twenty Troopers from the MSP Special Emergency Response Team, a specialized unit trained in search and rescue operations, as well as three K9 teams and the State Police Air Wing searched wooded areas near Ms. Walshe’s home with negative results for the second straight day,” the statement added.

They continued: “State Police divers also searched a small stream and a pool with negative results. The ground search will not resume unless police develop new information that so warrants it.”

“Regarding yesterday’s fire at Ms. Walshe’s former house on Jerusalem Road, the State Police Fire and Explosives Investigation Unit and local investigators have determined that the cause of the fire was accidental,” the joint statement also said.
