This is I Fear You, Babe.

On New Year’s Day 2022, Ana Walshe vanished from her home in Cohasset, Massachusetts.

At first, it appeared to be a missing persons case. But as investigators followed the digital trail—search histories, surveillance footage, discarded evidence—the truth became impossible to ignore.

This episode traces Ana’s final days, the unraveling of the story her husband told police, and the mounting evidence that transformed concern into certainty. We examine how technology recorded what words tried to hide, and how control often disguises itself as normalcy until it turns lethal.

This is a case about disappearance—but also about what happens when someone is erased long before they’re reported missing.
