A Manassas Park woman has been missing since July 31 under "involuntary circumstances," city police say.

Mamta Kafle Bhatt, 28, mother of a 10-month-old baby and a pediatric nurse at UVA Health Prince William Medical Center in Manassas, was reportedly last seen in Manassas Park on July 31. City police issued a missing person alert over the weekend.

Manassas Park Police Chief Mario Lugo said Bhatt's husband reported her missing Aug. 5. He said police don't have a clothing description from when she was last seen, and she does not own a car.

[...]

Anyone with information on Bhatt's whereabouts is asked to call Manassas Park Police at 703-361-1136.

This isn't UVA Charlottesville, this is UVA Prince William in Manassas, in Northern Virginia, about 7 miles from her home, give or take. There may be a local transit bus available but it doesn't run like a metro transit system.
 
I think that says everything. Doesn't report her missing for what? 5 days and doesn't want to discuss? Hmmmm IMO
Sorry to say that I concur with your opinion—a married successful woman with an infant suddenly goes missing and her husband doesn’t notify authorities until 5 days later?! Even if he thought she’d just taken a short break from the house/marriage/child for her own mental health, one might expect him now to be doing all he can to help bring her home safely (or at least get confirmation that she is okay!).
 

Per this article, her husband claims to have called police to notify them Mamta was missing on Friday 8/2, but the official report wasn’t created until Monday the 5th. He is also described as participating (via video link) in a recent public gathering to bring attention to her case, which also seems appropriate for a husband suddenly tasked with 100% of the childcare and household duties. Glad to see there is community support for finding Mamta!
 

Bhatt's husband spoke to the crowd by phone, telling them he could not be there in person because he was caring for their little girl.

"I need to find her as soon as possible, using all the tools, community, society, police," he said.

The Manassas Park Police Department is investigating the case as an involuntary disappearance. Police said investigators have spoken with neighbors, friends, coworkers and her husband.
 

Friends tell us Mamta Kafle Bhatt, 28, never showed up to her Aug. 1 shift at the Hospital where she worked as a pediatric nurse. Bhatt's former roommate Nadia Navarro says she does not understand why it took so long for police to notify the community that her close friend was missing.

Over the weekend Navarro launched a Facebook group dedicated to sharing information about Bhatt's case. The group went from social media to actually conducting searches in Prince William County.

Thanks for that link -- local folks are 'on it' -- pretty much confirming our suspicions.
