Summary

New evidence emerges in the case of missing Ana Walshe: a bizarre email claiming the mom has been kidnapped.

At 5:18 a.m., Cohasset police received an email from a Gmail account. The email stated: "We have the so named Ana Walshe with us here... We had a deal worth $127,000.. she messed up...we have her here with us and if she doesn't pay the money. Then she'll never be back."

There's no additional information, no instruction on where to leave the money and no way to contact the kidnappers. Husband Brian Walsh was arrested the next day.
