I was thinking the same thing. I can see why this would be a big story in Boston but not a national story. I wish more attention were given to the missing/murdered Native American women. Guess they're just not as telegenic or sympathy-worthy.

If you think it is, then maybe you should be spreading the word, instead of disparaging and judging others.

People follow what they identify with - it is not rocket science.

Stop showing up on each of these threads with the same old tired trope - do something about it - spread the word in other ways, to other boards/sources! Your coming here and trying to disparge and judge the people who read this site is only hurting your message.

You're right. It's not rocket science. It's racism. It's a shame that you, and others like you, only see the tragedies/issues of those you identify with. It's a shame you can't find anything about Native women to identify with - if nothing else, they are human.

I mean honestly it is actually more like human nature. When presented with two cases of women being abducted most people will feel the same way. But when you have news media run by predominantly white people, then when an attractive white woman goes missing, most of the news media relates to her, literally relates to her (I TOO am a middle aged white mom who is attractive with children, this could happen to ME), and so it gets obsessed over. I don't think being affected by something happening to someone very similar to you is racism, I think that is just how human brains work.

The fact that WOC are less represented NATIONALLY and broadly has to do with systemic racism which is what happens when this phenomenon takes place in hiring. People naturally hire people who seem like them for the same reasons. And when this phenomenon repeats then you have no representation in the media and then no one relates with the WOC so they are promoted less.

IMO attributing this to individualized racist thoughts really hampers the ability to solve the problem because it really isn't about people racistly not caring about WOC, it is about 100 tiny little decisions along the way that come from very subtle bias that changes the direction of the conversation. Its about every rock that makes a river bend, not the last rock that has no idea why the river chose it.

I think PP was saying that if you want to change it you should try posting about missing WOC, elevate their voices so people hear them. Because it is the rare person that will go LOOKING for sad stories, most people just react to what the media apparatus puts in front of us.

Very thoughtful post, PP. Thanks.

Cleaning supplies valued at $450 is a lot of cleaning supplies!!!

How in the heck did the police manage to find any blood after he used $450 worth of cleaning supplies?!?

Because people aren't professional crime scene cleaners.

I subscribe to an OF of a biohazard cleaning company. They were doing a reclean of a suicide location because some friends of the family who lost a loved one thought they could do it. They thought they did a great job until the family came home and found bits of flesh and bone in places the friends didn't even think to look/clean (ie: decorations on the wall, top of the fridge, fruit bowl).

Oh that is gruesome.

On a different topic:

- what does everyone make of the report the knife found by the police search, was broken!

They had to come up with something to hold the husband on while they confirm the new evidence. They will charge him with more once those reports come back.

Cheap knives are made from cheap metal. Bone is hard and people fight back. It's not like you stab someone once and they slump over dead

Plus isn’t he already an ex-con as a result of the art fraud he tried to pull off ?

Wonder what she was doing marrying a creep like this.

3 young children who now will likely be deprived of both parents. so very sad.

It makes me wonder what turns a scam artist/con man into a murderer. Desperation, I suppose.

Looking a bit more into him--he's never held a real job (fake consultant bs type things only). He defrauded his own father of, say, a million, long before he burned the will and plundered the estate . That, in turn, meant that a stay at home sentence for art fraud suddenly turned into several years of jail, plus more financial restitution being sought to recover the funds from the rightful heirs. Maybe she got tired of it--working f/t, away from her kids, trying to keep afloat a fancy lifestyle while he turned out not to be the wealthy guy he maybe pretended to be. Properties were in her name only, he was headed to jail, still doesn't make total sense. What did killing her get him? was it because she was planning on leaving him? was there even a motive?

I'm curious about his parents. Sounds like his father was gay, parents divorced, he was estranged from his father (presumably after embezzling money while he was alive, according to a cousin). His mother (who everyone assumes was the person who said they saw Ana leave) lived 1.5 hours away. According to a letter she wrote asking for leniency in his art fraud case, she did not get along with her daughter in law but was very close to him.

This type of lavish lifestyle portrayed by so many really shows how fake so many people are and probably in so much debt that they become desperate.

He could have been charming and sold her a bill of goods. Impressive predigree, but sometimes the children of a highly accomplished parent don't turn out well.

Didn't they live in a $1 million house in Cohasset? That's downright low-rent for Cohasset. So, other than living in a fancy town with excellent schools, they were not exactly keeping up with the Joneses.

This is true, that’s nothing for Cohasset, but they also have a home in Friendship Heights (unclear if they own it) and a car in DC.

Makes you wonder how many DC folks live like that yet have nothing.

They had another home in cohasset-bought in 2020 for 800k and sold just recently making half a mil profit in a few years (flipping mostly?). As soon as that house sold, she bought the townhouse in DC for 1.4 m and they were renting in cohasset--probably temporarily. Seems as if they were planning to move to DC, until he got in more trouble for his dirty dealings with the father's estate. ...suddenly plans to move to DC on hold until he got sentenced (which he hadn't' yet). She also owned a few other properties. But yes, I think there was more show than reality, and he was the type to show off wealth he didn't have, typical scam artist.

I just recently watched the movie The Nest which had been on my watchlist for a few years. It’s very good - about a marriage and the appearances people put on even with their own spouses.

I was unsurprised by the developments in this case over the weekend. I live in eastern Massachusetts so the story has been headline news of course. I am a former domestic violence advocate and former prosecutor and was a child of an abusive marriage - I’m a murder show constant viewer and I often tell my friends, this is part of my therapy coping with my PTSD and how my life worked out so that I never married or had kids despite a number of chances to go that path. When I’m feeling particularly sad about my status I just dial up a few episodes of murder shows and I’m reminded why being single and childless is not the worst outcome for a life - being murdered by the man to whom you devoted your life and body is much worse. Being murdered by a child to whom you devoted your life and body has got to the the absolute worst, I cannot think of anything more horrific.

So sorry for the orphaned kids, I hope there is somebody able to step up and provide them with a decent life as they navigate this horror.

Apparently police searched his computer and he literally had done a recent search “how to dispose of a 115lb body” and “how to dismember a body”.

This guy killed her and may be THE dumbest criminal alive.
