Sounds suffocating for her to live like that.‘We’ve lost days and days’: Search Continues for Pediatric Nurse Who Vanished Following Argument with Husband
More details continue to emerge as loved ones search for a Virginia nurse who hasn’t been seen in weeks. As CrimeOnline previously reported, Bhaytt, a pediatric nurse at UVA Health Prince William Medical Center, was last seen in Manassas Park on July 31. She unexpectedly stopped her daily...www.crimeonline.com
Meanwhile, according to the Washington Post, loved ones recalled a disagreement that led Bhatt to move in with friend Sarita Neupane Neupane for a week. The cause of the argument between the couple remains unclear.
Another friend, Nadia Navarro, told Grace that she recalled the husband being controlling and “constantly” calling her when Bhaytt wasn’t home.
“He would call me on my phone constantly, and text me constantly,” Navarro, who temporarily lived with the couple, said. “He started to kind of control where I would go, too. At one point, I wanted to take Manta to an Indian store…..He wouldn’t really let her leave the house that was any further than five minutes.”
Tale as old as time in domestic homicides.Sounds suffocating for her to live like that.

Yes and yet according to husband when interviewed he didn't seem to know where or when she was in the house until work reported her missing.Sounds suffocating for her to live like that.

I actually agree - I am still on the fence, though I fully realize LE says she is involuntarily missing. I don't know what has led them to say that so I remain on the fence. My hunch is because she left behind her child, but I'm not sure that is enough to say she is gone "involuntarily."Yes and yet according to husband when interviewed he didn't seem to know where or when she was in the house until work reported her missing.
I cannot decide if my thoughts are
A) she had reached a point of disappearing or B) has been murdered.
Though the situation seems to lean more towards the latter
In a true missing person's investigation, we always see the same playbook. We see frequent press conferences, or at the very least, regular press releases. In every case (I've seen) where law enforcement has deviated from this strategy, the reason is because they are in reality conducting a homicide investigation.
When their words don't align with their actions, it's a major tell.
This case is a bit different, in that they are already telling us what we suspect; they say that they don't believe she is voluntarily missing. I believe it's a combination of this behavior being uncharacteristic, and strong evidence of some sort: lies by the husband, digital evidence, surveillance footage; something along those lines.
I believe they are conducting focused searches based on cell phone data and perhaps vehicle data. I also think it's probable that they are way ahead of where most people think they are. There is a baby involved here, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some movement soon.
Hopefully the evidence is there.

I know the seemingly obvious conclusion is likely what happened, but I want to know more. (I know that is not a popular stance and I totally appreciate why people do not share my hesitancy. I agree one theory is stronger than the other.)

I say this gently: I am not thinking she left to start a new life. But that is only a nagging thought, and I agree the theory about the usual suspect (controlling husband) the stronger theory.It takes a lot of planning to start a new life where no one can find you. All family, work and social ties would need to be cut and no one could know. There could be no record of communications with anyone regarding the decision. One would need a place to stay, and some financial support, perhaps transportation. Credit cards and banking transactions couldn't be used. Email, cell phone etc are out. It's complex to do that and few people could do it without leaving a trail.
I don't think it is a good bet that she is living a happy life elsewhere. jmo

were these two about the same age? first marriage for him as well?Apparently theirs was an arranged marriage. We don't know what she expected or hoped from it, but a lot of arranged marriages work out fairly well. This one obviously didn't. For her to want a divorce is pretty telling, IMO. It indicates that he and his behaviour were below what she and anyone else might reasonably expect from an arranged marriage. Maybe any affection at all, and respect, were totally lacking. A woman does not leave an arranged marriage which she had agreed to just because her husband doesn't shower her with kisses and love notes. Kindness and respect would be fine.
