Ana Walshe amassed $3M property portfolio husband was eager to inherit (nypost.com)
This is a long, long article, and I included things from a couple others, so I tried to include relevant parts only.

Ana Walshe had amassed a
property portfolio worth $2.8 million at the time of her disappearance, which her
husband’s internet search history showed he was looking forward to getting his hands on.
Brian pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife, but a wealth of evidence is mounting against him.
Although it is said they had amassed a collection of homes and rental properties together, records viewed by The Post show all of them were in her name only.
Ana, 39, had been associated with eight properties in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Massachusetts since 2018 — four she had sold and four she owned at the time she disappeared, with a current market value totaling $2.8m.
Less than a week before she was reported missing by her employer, Ana closed a deal on Dec. 29 and sold an apartment in Revere, MA, outside Boston. The place sold for 220,000, over 50% more than the $137,000 she bought it for in 2020.
The mom then seemed to use her new cash flow to buy a
DC mansion in the heart of the Chevy Chase neighborhood for $1.3 million. The house has four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and a newly renovated kitchen.
Records show she co-owns the house with an investor other than her husband.
Walshe also purchased a Baltimore row house in September for $191,500. Pictured above.
She also owned two investment properties in Lynn, Massachusetts, which she bought in 2018 for $135,000 and $139,900, respectively.
Following Ana’s death and Brian’s arrest it is unclear what will happen to her property interests. In court facing murder charges Wednesday, prosecutors painted a damning portrait of Brian,
explaining how he had initially looked up divorcing his wife.
“Rather than divorce, it is believed that Brian Walshe dismembered Ana Walshe and discarded her body,” Assistant District Attorney Lynn Beland charged during the hearing.

On Jan. 3, a man in a Volvo vehicle matching Brian’s description was seen on surveillance placing heavy trash bags in dumpsters at apartment complexes in Brockton and Abington.
By the time investigators were alerted to Ana’s disappearance and
checked the dumpsters in question, Beland explained, the bags had already been transferred and destroyed.
Police traced the bags to a trash transfer station in Peabody, north of Boston. In addition to the bloodstained carpet,
hatchet and hacksaw that were previously reported, Beland said law enforcement found
towels, slippers, tape, and a Tyvek suit matching the one Brian purchased days earlier.
Also among the rubbish was a Prada purse and Hunter boots matching what Ana was said to have been wearing when she was last seen. A COVID-19 vaccination card in her name was found as well.
