The times she left before, did she take the baby with her?
I will be honest here , I do not know if the husband who was reported to work for LE for 9 months , is guilty of disappearing his wife or not. She is 28 and easily exploitable by this new type of crime profile in this area. A lot of police officers are not trained well and in my area between heroine and sex trafficking's affect in every aspect of public life ,even dope sick street cops . I would definitely not write anything out and wouldn't pick anything over the other.
This area is around their is pretty bad crime wise .
I have to go though metal detectors to enter my doctors office . More securely than I do at the airport. It is weird every time . If you look over this web site ,it will show you some informative data ,you may need to plug into other information for a full picture.
Manassas Park, Virginia

'I'm the one who's suffering'| Husband of missing woman says she has gone 'missing' before

  • He said they ate dinner together the night of July 31. It was a normal day.
  • After dinner, he took the baby upstairs and went to sleep. That was the last time he saw Mamta.
  • The reporter says, "So she never came to sleep though."
  • He responds, "Yes, he came, like I heard like you know, noise something like that, you know like she came like, you know, like she was here doing dishes and stuff like that. You know, I heard that."
  • They would sometimes sleep separately so as not to wake the baby when they got up for work.
  • The next day [Aug 1], Mamta didn't show up for work.
  • Aug 2, police went to the home and spoke with her husband.
  • He says they told him to keep searching for her since she's gone missing before and call them if he still couldn't find her.
  • Aug 5, he filed a missing persons report.

[...]

SN, a co-worker and close friend of Kafle, told the crowd Kafle had left home in the past. She stayed with her earlier this year for a few days but at the time, family members knew where she was.

[...]

"After a couple of weeks after that, she left again. She went to Falls Church," she said. "She stayed for eight days. Her husband was able to follow her. He convinced her they were going to work it out. This was all of the conversation in February."

[...]
This explains why her co-workers were quick to call for a welfare check. I'm sure they thought if she left again, she would let someone at work know, let her co-workers who are supportive friends know.

The other two times she left, did she take the baby with her?
I was thinking the same thing, I went back and couldn't find anything that mentioned it. I could have missed it though. Did she show signs of postpartum? Sounds like there are issues in the marriage, could be stress with having a baby and working etc. I'm still stuck on the late reporting by husband though. IMO

I also stuck on the husband saying he is the one suffering. I am sure he is suffering.....but the focus is on the missing woman, not on how hard this is on him! I think we can surmise the dynamics of that household.

According to this article:
Bhatt is a native of Nepal and has been living in the U.S. since 2021, per Inside Nova. All of her family, except her husband and child, live in Nepal.

According to a post on the Facebook page organizing to find her, Bhatt was reportedly attempting to separate from her husband and had joined a support group for single mothers.

"We are investigating all possible circumstances," Manassas Park police said on Tuesday, per Inside Nova.
Pregnant, attempting to leave, this is a sad, sad song we've heard before. I WANT TO BE WRONG!!! Please, God, let me be wrong. I *love* being wrong!

Yes, the comments are further concerning. :::sad:::

Several concerned friends, family and community members went to the Embassy of Nepal in D.C. to call on Nepali officials in the U.S. and abroad to find the mom and nurse.

[...]

Bandita Sharma Dahal, one community member, is an attorney who met with the acting ambassador of Nepal to the U.S.

She, along with other loved ones, said that their goal was to arrange visas for Bhaat’s family to come to the U.S. to help look for her. They also want officials to serve as liaisons between community members and mainstream media so they can get the attention they need to find her.

Dahal spoke to Bhaat’s brother about working out a visa for him to come to the U.S. She has also been in contact with the rest of the family and said they are worried.

[...]

Over the past few days, her loved ones searched the trails in Bloom’s Park and spread the word on social media to help find her.
 

A witness told WUSA9 they saw police outside Mamta Kafle Bhatt's home Wednesday as well, and saw three detectives go in. All police would say is that it is still a missing person's case.

Friends say they are struggling to make sense of the timeline and what happened between the welfare check on Aug. 2, when Mamta Kafle Bhatt's husband reported her missing on Aug. 5.

Naresh Bhatt addressed members of the search party, thanking them for their ongoing efforts to find his wife.

"Thank you for, like, what you are doing and in a positive way," Naresh Bhatt said.

But after he spoke, the crowd grew heated, with some friends directing anger toward Naresh Bhatt. Eventually, Virginia state Sen. Danica Roem stepped in to calm the tensions.
