Investigators were seen draining the pool at Ana Walshe's home; Walshe has been missing since New Year's Day.
Police in Massachusetts have concluded a ground search for Ana Walshe, a mother of three children who was reported missing Jan. 4.
In a joint statement, the Cohasset Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police said the ground search for evidence relating to the mother's disappearance has yielded "negative results for the second straight day."
Police also said the fire at Walshe's former home was "accidental."
"The ground search by Massachusetts state troopers and Cohasset Police officers for Ana Walshe or evidence related to her disappearance has concluded," the law enforcement agencies said in a statement. "Twenty troopers from the MSP Special Emergency Response Team, a specialized unit trained in search and rescue operations, as well as three K-9 teams and the State Police Air Wing searched wooded areas near Ms. Walshe’s home with negative results for the second straight day.

"State police divers also searched a small stream and a pool with negative results. The ground search will not resume unless police develop new information that so warrants it,"
Walshe was last seen on New Years Day when she was reportedly expected to use a ride-sharing service to Logan International Airport in Boston to get on a flight to Washington, D.C., police said. Her cell phone has been shut off since disappearing, according to police, who said she didn't leave a digital footprint.
