9:38 p.m. — Manassas Park Police have determined the husband of Mamta Kafle Bhatt, Naresh Bhatt, is a person of interest. They also said he is no longer cooperating.
Police just wrapped up a press conference with details on tonight’s search of the home. More as we have it.
Original Post — On Wednesday evening, the Manassas Park Police Department gathered at the home of Mamta Kafle Bhatt, 28, to execute a warrant. According to neighbors, the police did not say if it was a search or arrest warrant.
Police began arriving at her home, which she shares with her husband, Naresh Bhatt, 37, around 5 p.m. on Wednesday and it was circled in yellow crime tape around 7 p.m., neighbors said. Manassas Park Police and Prince William County Police were present.
According to Alan Gloss, a reporter on the scene, the street, Heather Court, was shut down to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. There were at least 50 neighbors watching as police conducted the search on the home. Police have not said if they will address the media tonight, but it is a possibility.
Holly Wirth, a nurse and former co-worker and leader of groups of citizens looking for Kafle Bhatt, said it’s an active scene.
Kafle Bhatt disappeared in late July. Bhatt told police he last saw his wife on July 31 and she last reported to work at the UVA Prince William Medical Center in Manassas on July 27. She works as a nurse at the medical center.
Police have been searching for Kafle Bhatt since Aug. 5, when Bhatt first reported her missing. MPPD conducted a welfare check on Aug. 2 when they visited the residence, but Bhatt did not file a missing person report.
Kafle Bhatt missed her daughter’s first birthday on Tuesday, and at a birthday party hosted by close friends, the father asked pictures of their child’s face not be posted to social media.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
