Background
Mamta Bhaat is a native of Nepal. In 2021, she moved to the U.S. where she lived with a roommate in Fairfax County, Virginia. She later married Naresh Bhaat and the couple have a 11-month-old daughter together.
In 2024, Mamta was living with her family in Blooms Crossing, a neighborhood in Manassas Park, Virginia, part of the Washington D.C. metro area. She worked as a pediatric nurse at UVA Health Prince William Medical Center in Manassas.
Disappearance
On July 27, 2024, Mamta Bhaat was last seen by coworkers at UVA Health – Prince William Medical Center on Sudley Road in Manassas Park, Virginia.
On July 28, 2024, Mamta tried to call one of her female friends on the phone, but her friend was busy at the time and didn’t get a chance to answer or return the call.
On July 31, 2024, Mamta was last seen by her husband at their home in Manassas Park, Virginia. Mamta never showed up the next day for her shift at the hospital and has never been heard from again.
On August 2, 2024, authorities went to perform a welfare check at Mamta’s residence after one of her co-workers alerted police. They talked to her husband but he didn’t say anything about her being missing.
On August 5, 2024, her husband filed a missing persons report for Mamta with the Manassas Park Police Department.
Investigation
Mamta’s husband, Naresh Bhaat, told police that his wife had previously left home twice in 2024, but that she always returned after a few days. Mamta did not own a car and authorities are unsure if she had her cell phone with her.
Authorities conducted a search for Mamta in the wooded area around her residence including Bloom’s Park, located about half-mile away, where she was known to go often with her baby daughter.
Police are investigating Mamta’s case as an involuntary disappearance. Her friends went to the Embassy of Nepal in Washington, DC to ask Nepali officials in the U.S. and abroad for help to find Mamta.

On August 22, 2024, Mamta’s husband, Naresh Bhaat, was taken into custody and charged with concealment of a dead body.
The arrest came while authorities were searching their home in northern Virginia. Mamta’s daughter was taken from the house and placed into the care of the Department of Social Services.
