"The property records of Walsh’s San Francisco residence also provide interesting inconsistencies. Whenever a property transaction takes place, two names appear on a property report: the buyer and the seller. In 1999, the year Walsh’s wife passed away, the property report shows the house transferring from “Owen and Ann Walsh Co-Trust” to “Owen Walsh.” For five years the property was solely the possession of Owen Walsh.

In addition, 2800 Ocean Avenue is not one of Blanca Perez's current listings and there is no record of the property being listed for sale or being sold within the last 30 days. Very strange!
They are capable of the incapable!
