Search intensifies for missing mother in Northern Virginia [Video]

MANASSAS, Va. – A search is underway for Mamta Kafle, a 28-year-old mother who disappeared from her home in Manassas Park, Virginia. Police are now treating her disappearance as involuntary.

Mamta, who works as a nurse at a local hospital, was last seen on Wednesday, July 31.

Her friends and co-workers grew concerned when she failed to show up for work.

“She would never just up and leave her 11-month-old baby,” one co-worker said, echoing the sentiments of many in the community.

Flyers with Mamta’s picture can be seen throughout the Manassas Park area — at gas stations, restaurants, and bakeries — urging anyone with information to call 911. In her neighborhood, more flyers are plastered on light poles, pleading for help in finding the missing mother.

Manassas Park Police are actively investigating her disappearance, conducting interviews with neighbors, friends, co-workers, and her husband, who lives with her.
