MANASSAS PARK, Virginia. – There is a heavy police presence at the home of a Virginia woman who has been missing for nearly a month.

FOX 5 has been following the search for 28-year-old Mamta Kafle for weeks. The young mother was last seen in her Manassas Park home on July 31.

Since then, police, family and community members have been searching tirelessly for her.

Manassas Park police said their investigation into her disappearance began on August 2, when one of Kafle’s coworkers asked officers to inquire about her disappearance because she had not shown up for her shift at the hospital.

When police arrived at the house, her husband Naress Bhatt said she was not missing. Then, a few days later, on August 5, he decided to report her missing when she still hadn’t come home.

When asked why he waited to report her missing, Bhatt told FOX 5 he followed police instructions when they spoke to him on Friday and only filed the missing person report after all efforts to find her had been exhausted.

Bhatt told FOX 5’s Nana Sento-Bonsu that the experience was an emotional rollercoaster.

“I’m really tired. Tired, exhausted – physically, mentally, financially. I’m suffering,” he said. “I’m suffering a lot.”

FOX 5 is trying to find out more about why police surrounded the home and closed the streets Wednesday afternoon. Check back later for updates.
