Brian Walshe left handwritten response to 'friends'

Brian Walshe, the Massachusetts dad charged in connection to hiswife Anas disappearance, left a note addressed to his friends on his dining room table in which he expressed appreciation for the concern and said he was focused on the search.

Brian Walshe, the Massachusetts dad charged in connection to his wife Ana’s disappearance, left a note addressed to his “friends” on his dining room table — in which he expressed appreciation for the “concern” and said he was focused on the search.

The photo of the handwritten note in blue ink, published by the Daily Mail and titled “Response to friends,” reads: “I appreciate your concern. Right now my focus is finding Ana and spending time with…”

The rest of the message cannot be seen but he was presumably referring to the couple’s three young boys, who were later placed in the state’s care after he was charged with impeding the police investigation.

A separate note in the rented home in Cohasett begins with “Cell” and contains a numbered list of tasks Walshe was apparently planning to accomplish, though the details are obscured.

Other images captured exclusively by The Post include an eerie note written in bright red letters by Ana Walshe, 39, looking forward to the new year shortly before she went missing.

“Wow! 2022 … What a year! And yet, we are still here and together! Let’s make 2023 the best one yet! We are the authors of our lives … courage, love, perseverance, compassion, and joy. Love, Ana,” says the message written on the side of a Lanson Noble Cuvee champagne box.

The Post’s images also show two US passports placed side by side on the same desk near a book titled “The Obstacle.”

Also spotted in the home are three bottles of A.H. Hirsch Reserve Whiskey — which start at $3,000 a bottle, according to online searches — on the kitchen table. Next to the bottles are a pirate-themed decorated pumpkin, The Post’s photos show.

Family friend Gem Mutlu, who attended the party, has claimed that nothing seemed amiss during the festivities.

“We hugged and celebrated and we toasted, just what you do over New Year’s. There was a lot of looking forward to the New Year. There was no indication of anything other than celebrating the New Year, problems on hold,” he told WBZ-TV.
