The husband of missing mother-of-three Ana Walshe was spotted pacing in a juice bar a day after she vanished.
New security video obtained by 7NEWS shows Brian Walshe, 46, at Press Juice Bar in Norwell, Massachusetts placing an order for three kid’s sized smoothies and two large smoothies on November 2.
Just a day earlier – on New Year’s Day, his wife Ana Walshe, 39, had vanished from the family home in Cohasset. She was reported missing to police on January 4 by her employer in DC – three days after her husband last saw her on January 1.
Cops have recovered a hack saw, a hatchet, and a rug, and found blood at a waste disposal site near her husband’s mother’s house. Police arrested Walshe on suspicion of ‘misleading’ authorities but have not charged him with anything else.
On Monday, Walshe pleaded not guilty to misleading investigators in the hunt for his missing wife, but remained in jail on $500,000 bond.

Ana was reported missing to police on January 4 by her employer in DC – three days after her husband last saw her on January 1.
She worked for real estate behemoth Tishman Speyer, and the couple owned several properties together – including their home in Cohasset and a $1.3million house in DC.
They also owned another property in Massachusetts, worth $1.4million – which they sold last year before she went missing.
The building went up in flames days after she vanished, but cops investigating the matter believe the fire is not linked to her disappearance.
On Monday, cops said they had found blood on a damaged knife and in the basement of their home in Cohasset.
The Walshes have three sons, believed to be aged two, four, and six

Officers searching two waste facilities on Monday night found further potential evidence.
They trawled through security footage at West Wareham after finding blood, a hatchet, a hack saw, a rug and used cleaning products in a Peabody dumpster.
The first facility is an hour south of Ana and Brian Walshe’s home in Cohasset, while the other is 15 minutes from his mother’s house in Swampscott.
Walshe told officers he last saw his wife on January 1 at 6am, when she left to catch a flight to Washington DC for work.
Police told a judge he was spotted spending $450 on cleaning products in a nearby Home Depot on January 2.
He claims he only left the house once on January 2 – the day after she vanished – to take his son for ice cream.
Authorities say it would have allowed him time to clean up evidence and dispose of it, setting his bail being at $500,000 in cash.
Prosecutors at Quincy District Court say Walshe’s statements, including claiming that he didn’t leave the house, delayed the investigation.
