Mamta Kafle Bhatt: Community rallies at Virginia park as police search for missing mom

Manassas Park community members are outside Signal Hill Park encouraging police officers to keep searching for the 28-year-old missing mom, Mamta Kafle Bhatt. FOX 5’s Nana-Sentuo Bonsu has the latest details.

Manassas Park Police have confirmed with FOX 5 that they have shut down Signal Hill Park on Signal View Drive in Manassas Park to search for missing mom Mamta Kafle Bhatt’s body. 

Earlier this week, Manassas Park Chief Mario Lugo described the search for Mamta as “promising” after new leads and tips emerged in the investigation.

The 28-year-old nurse was last seen at the UVA Health Prince William Medical Center on July 31. 

Her husband, Naresh Bhatt, claims that was the last day he saw her, but he didn’t report her missing to police until Aug. 5. 

Naresh Bhatt is now in jail on a felony charge of concealing a dead body in connection with his wife’s disappearance.
