MANASSAS PARK, Va. – As police continue their search for Mamta Kafle, her friends and coworkers gathered for a vigil Thursday night to honor the woman they remember as someone who “lit up every room she walked in.”
The vigil was held down the street from Kafle’s home, with the community coming together in prayer and support.
Kafle, a 28-year-old mother and pediatric nurse, was last seen on July 27, according to her friends and coworkers, though police initially reported that her husband was the last to see her on July 31.
Bhatt’s arrest came shortly after police executed a search warrant at their home in the Blooms Crossing neighborhood. He is currently being held without bond at a regional jail, facing at least one felony charge for concealing her body.
For some of Kafle’s friends, seeing Bhatt in handcuffs offered a measure of closure, though many still have unanswered questions.
