COHASSET, MA — Authorities are seeking help in finding a Cohasset woman who was last seen early Sunday morning before being reported missing Wednesday, the Cohasset Police Department said in a news conference Friday.

Authorities said 39-year-old Ana Walshe, a mother-of-three who works in property management, was last seen at her home shortly after midnight on New Year's Day.

Walshe planned to travel using a rideshare service to Logan Airport around 4 a.m. Sunday for a trip to her second home in Washington D.C., Cohasset’s police chief said. Police added that they were unable to confirm whether she ever got in the rideshare vehicle, but can confirm that she never boarded a plane for any airline this week.

Walshe's husband was sleeping when she left the home, according to police.

Her Washington D.C. townhouse, to where she commutes several times a month for work, has been searched with no signs of Walshe, police said. Authorities did, however, find her vehicle in its usual place in D.C.
