The Manassas Park Police Department is urgently seeking the public’s assistance in locating Mamta Kafle, a 28-year-old Nepali nurse who has been missing since July 31st. According to the police, Mamta was last seen in Manassas Park, Virginia, and has not been in contact with family or friends since that date.
Mamta is described as being 5’0″ tall, weighing 132 pounds, with black hair and dark brown eyes. The police believe her disappearance may be involuntary due to the length of time she has been missing.
In a statement posted on Facebook, the Manassas Park Police Department urged anyone with information on Mamta’s whereabouts to contact them at 703-361-1136. Her husband, Naresh Bhatt, along with the Nepali community in the USA, have made desperate pleas for help in finding her.
