- One of the crime scene investigators said they had been doing this job since 2011 and had “never seen this much blood” at a scene.
- Prosecutors said the “entire shower floor glowed” [using Bluestar] in the couple’s master bathroom.
- Fibers on the bedroom carpet appeared manipulated like someone had scrubbed it clean.
- Investigators found a nearly-empty bottle of carpet cleaner purchased by Naresh back on July 31 nearby.
- When they pulled up the carpet, there was evidence that blood had seeped under it, as if someone had been dragged into the bathroom.
- Tucked away in a closet, blinds were found that appeared to be missing from a bathroom window. The blinds had small splatters that tested positive for blood.
- “That amount of blood indicates to law enforcement, injuries that are not survivable,” prosecutors said.
- On Aug. 1, Mamta’s phone pinged in Loudoun County near a body of water while Naresh’s phone was turned off or on airplane mode for two hours.
- The body of water was also near the cafe Naresh told police he had visited.
“Mamta was a victim of domestic abuse, it is in the record. We have been trying to respect her privacy, and all of us have seen and heard and gotten texts of things that we did not want to share to respect her privacy,” said Wirth. “We know that going forward, we aren’t afraid to speak up and call him what he is [Naresh Bhatt]. He is an abuser.”
