Brian Walshe, 49, the convicted art swindler husband of the 39-year-old missing mother of three has been charged with misleading police in their search for his wife 

Real estate executive Ana Walshe disappeared on New Year's Day after failing to board a flight from Massachusetts to Washington D.C., where she works. 

She has not used her phone or credit cards since disappearing and has not shown up for work. 

Her friends say that her disappearance is out of character, as she would never abandon her three young sons. 

Brian Walshe initially told police that he was asleep when Ana ordered a rideshare from their home in Cohasset to Logan International Airport in Boston however, police have now arrested him.

They had initially said that Brian was cooperating with the investigation but things suddenly changed on Sunday night. 

He is set to be arraigned on Monday. It is not yet clear what additional information may be revealed at his arraignment. 

'Additional facts may or may not be entered into the record at that time,' police said.

Brian Walshe, 49, is  seen driving away from the Cohasset, Massachusetts, home where he, his wife, Ana, and their three children lived until the mother-of-three's disappearance on New Year's Day

Earlier on Sunday, camera-shy Brian appeared to be driving a red Volkswagen away from the home in Cohasset - a 45-minute drive south of Boston - a week after his wife's disappearance. 

The couple's three children were given a ride in a separate vehicle, a gray Volvo, by people believed to be friends or family. Authorities appeared to have returned to the Walshe's home on Sunday to dig through the contents. 

Detectives from Cohasset and the State Police had also been investigating in Washington D.C., where Ana worked for real estate behemoth, Tishman Speyer.

The mother-of-three boys between the ages of two and six, who is of Serbian descent, was reported missing in the small Massachusetts town of roughly 8,600 people on Wednesday by her husband and her employer.
