Massachusetts State Police Halt Ground Search for Missing Cohasset Woman

Authorities have halted the ground search for missing Massachusetts woman Ana Walshe following her mysterious disappearance on New Year’s Day, authorities said.

“The ground search by Massachusetts State Police and Cohasset Police officers for Ana Walshe or evidence related to her disappearance has been completed,” the two offices said in a joint statement Saturday.

“Twenty soldiers 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 day in a row,” the statement added.
