A nurse and a mother, Mamta Kafle Bhatt of Virginia, disappeared into thin air in 2024 and while her husband Naresh Bhatt was accused of killing her and then concealing her body, the body was never found. Two years later, the investigation has now taken a new turn as new forensic evidence has been found by investigators. According to a newly filed court document, investigators examined: three human hairs, 13 human hair fragments, apparent fibers, apparent debris. These were recovered from a saw.
Investigators visually examined the evidence and used stereo microscopy before conducting additional forensic analysis. Court records state the three human hairs "may be suitable for nuclear DNA testing" and have been referred to the Forensic Biology Section for further testing. The 13 hair fragments were deemed unsuitable for nuclear DNA testing.
