In a 50-second news conference about an hour later, Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth said she had no new information to provide.
A news release will be issued “later this afternoon,” she added.
“This is an ongoing investigation, and things are moving quickly. We will try to keep you informed as best we can,” she said to a gaggle of reporters outside the home. Ashworth's jurisdiction includes the independent city of Manassas Park.
Ashworth said authorities do not know whether Mamta Kafle Bhatt is dead or alive. Neither Ashworth nor the chief would answer whether charges have been filed against her husband, even though he was walked out of his Manassas Park home in handcuffs only an hour earlier.
