00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: missing Mamta. Where is Mamta? This woman devoted to her

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 3: baby girl.

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: She's a new mom and an incredible pediatric nurse, puts

10
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: herself through school to excel.

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: She's juggling all the place.

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: Keeping all the balls in the air, and then suddenly

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: she doesn't show up for her shift at the hospital.

14
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: And it is her friends, her coworkers who become alarmed.

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: Then her friends from a baby shower band, together with

16
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: other friends and even people she's never met, to try

17
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: and find Mamta.

18
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: Can somebody tell me why it took.

19
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: So long from the time she goes missing till the

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: time flyers are posted digitally and she's actually categorized as

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: a missing person. We've lost days and days and days,

22
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: and this little girl is wondering where is mommy? First

23
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: of all, who is this person?

24
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: Listen?

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 4: Newly weds Narash and Mamta Bod settle into married life

26
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: after Bud joins the army and serves two active tours overseas,

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: reportedly maintaining active secret clearance. Meanwhile, Mamta completes college to

28
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: become a pediatric nurse at Prince William Hospital. The couple

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: welcomes their first baby, a little girl. The two decide

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: to split the week so when one of them is

31
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: at work, the other is home with their new baby girl.

32
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: This means while new mom Mamta pulls a pediactory shift

33
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: at Prince William Hospital, Naresh is home and likewise, when

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: he's at General Dynamics working it, Mamta has mommy duty.

35
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: Joining me an all star panel to make sense of

36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: what we are learning right now about Mamta's disappearance and

37
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: how can we find her? Can we bring her home

38
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: alive with a baby girl and a big family waiting

39
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: on her? Joining me an investigative reporter from Fox five

40
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: Nana Sancho Bonsu. But first I want to go to

41
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: a friend, a friend of Manta's Nadia Navarro, friend of Mamta.

42
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: Gofund your organizer and the gofum me is help find

43
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: Mamta Nadia again, thank you for being with us. When

44
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: did you realize Mamta was gone?

45
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: August ninth.

46
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: I was made aware. I got a call from a

47
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 5: friend I met at Mamta's baby shower August nine.

48
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: Today is August fourteen.

49
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: So you found out she was missing on August nine. Okay,

50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm already five days in, but it gets worse. It's

51
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: much further than just five days in. Nadia, tell me

52
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: that one more time. Did you who called you?

53
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 5: A friend from the baby shower that I met there?

54
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: Okay? Tell me about the baby shower. Let's start right there. Okay.

55
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 5: It took place last year and they were probably around

56
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 5: one hundred people there.

57
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: It was really big.

58
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: What time do we think she went missing? Well, she

59
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: was last seen alive July thirty one, I understand too,

60
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: An investigated. A reporter of Fox five joining us not

61
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: I same to bon Sou that she was last seeing

62
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: July thirty one, but no one realized she was missing

63
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: until she did not show up for her pediatric nurse ship.

64
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

65
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 6: You're absolutely correct. Police are telling us, Please some NASA's

66
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 6: park tell us that the last time she was seen

67
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 6: was Wednesday, July thirty first at her home in Manassas Park,

68
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 6: and as we've been discussing, according to her coworkers, she

69
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 6: did not show up for her shift on the first

70
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 6: and that's when they got concerned and they called police

71
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 6: and a welfare check was requested.

72
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 7: Okay, Nana, I just had chills go down my whole

73
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 7: self when you say pediatric nurse. I'm just thinking of

74
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 7: all the love, all the dedication, all the long hours

75
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 7: the pediatric nurses in the nick you.

76
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: Devoted and saved my children, and now she's gone, and

77
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: who's trying to find her, Who's trying to help her?

78
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they literally saved my twins lives. They saved

79
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: their lives. And from what I hear about her to you,

80
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: Nadia Navarro, this is her friend. She was completely devoted

81
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: to pediatric nursing, which is no small thing. That's a niche,

82
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: that is a specialty.

83
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: And then the miracle she had her own baby.

84
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 8: Girl.

85
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: There is no way in h E double l this

86
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: woman would leave that pediatric unit and more important, her

87
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: own baby.

88
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 5: That's true.

89
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: She would never, she would never do that. Tell me

90
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: about her as a Personnaudia, I.

91
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 5: Would say, Mamta is an incredibly dedicated person. She worked

92
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 5: while she was studying, and she would study for at

93
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 5: least nine hours a day to take the Enclax exam,

94
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 5: that's the nursing exam. She studied for months and months,

95
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 5: and even when when she had her baby, and when

96
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 5: she was when she was pregnant, up to eight months,

97
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 5: she was still working.

98
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: You know, let me go to Kathleen Murphy joining us,

99
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: a high profile lawyer out of Raleigh at Triangle Divorce

100
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: Lawyers dot com. Kathleen what Not Indvro just said, brings

101
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: back memories. Study, study, study, study, I remember even studying

102
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: in the bathtub in law school. It is constant. When

103
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 1: she said nine hours a day, that's for real. People

104
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: do study that hard, that intensely if they want to succeed,

105
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: if they.

106
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: Care about what they are doing.

107
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: Yes, there's those students that go often have a weekend

108
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: drunk every weekend and kick around.

109
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: Not this girl, No, no, no, no.

110
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: Monta, tell them it's real. People really do study that hard.

111
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: If you look at my law school books, which I

112
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: still have even though they were third hand when I

113
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: bought them, there are watermarks all over them from turning

114
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: the pages on the side of the bathtub.

115
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 9: Well, when I went to law school, Nancy, we didn't

116
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 9: have laptops. I had index cards in shoe boxes and

117
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 9: we would spend eight to ten hours a day.

118
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: That was our job. As this is her job.

119
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 9: Adding into this her nursing career, being a mother, she's

120
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 9: clearly a dedicated and hard working person. You don't become

121
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 9: a nicky nurse without being a very, very dedicated nurse,

122
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 9: you know.

123
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: Back to you, Nadia Navarro, I want to follow up

124
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: on her dedication, what she went through to become a

125
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: pediatric nurse. There is no way she's going to just

126
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: not show up for her shift.

127
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely.

128
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 5: I mean being a nurse was her absolute dream and

129
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 5: it's something that she did in India, but she had

130
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 5: to restart the process of getting certified, board certified here

131
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 5: and she was completely committed to it. Nothing was going

132
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 5: to stop her. Every day she was taking notes. If

133
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 5: you went into her room, it was the walls from everywhere.

134
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 5: We're filled with sticky notes everywhere.

135
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: So that day everything goes sideways.

136
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 10: Listen Meliss's alarm go off when new mom Mamta does

137
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 10: not show up for her regular shift at Prince William's.

138
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 10: In fact, it's so out of character Mamtas coworkers began

139
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 10: reaching out to find out what's wrong. Unable to reach her,

140
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 10: the hospital management calls Manassa's Park police, begging for a

141
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 10: welfare check on Mamta and her baby too.

142
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: Brian Fitzgibbons joining us along with Nana Saint Iu Boone,

143
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: Sue and friend Nadia Navorro. Brian Fitsgibbons, Director Operations, USPA

144
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: Nationwide Security leads a team of investigators specializing in finding

145
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: missing people. And you can find them at USPA Security.

146
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: I could go on, but I want to get back

147
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: to Mamta. Okay, Brian, thank you for being with us.

148
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: You know what I hate, amongst so many things, when

149
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: women here, You've got Naughtia saying her baby shower friends

150
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: let me know she's missing. When it's scoffed at, when

151
00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: it's frowned upon, when it's discounted that mom's friends baby

152
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: shower friends as in this case, say something is wrong.

153
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: Why do police?

154
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: God bless them because they are the backbone of every

155
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: case I ever prosecuted. Why did they go, Oh, she'll

156
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: show up, She's probably with her boyfriend. What Okay, My

157
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: head is starting to hurt right here, she's with her boyfriend,

158
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: or she's just having a lay about, or she's having

159
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: me time, or she's gone for a girl's weekend.

160
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: That such be s. Why is this discounted?

161
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: Why did so many days pass before that digital flyer

162
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: went online before she was even reported missing. I'll get

163
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: back to the husband on that in a moment. But

164
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: why is the observation of women friends discounted this way?

165
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: Like we're all hysterical. I actually feel hysterical right now.

166
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: Because nobody's helping Mamta.

167
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: She's helped all of these babies, all of these women

168
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: get through the single most difficult thing in their life

169
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: that they've encountered up to that point. But nobody's helping her.

170
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Why Why is it us and her baby shower friends

171
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: trying to find her?

172
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 11: It's amazing, Nancy, And time and again we see this

173
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 11: in situations with missing women, that red flags are blown by,

174
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 11: that they're overlooked by either.

175
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 8: Law enforcement or the public.

176
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 11: Now, in this case, I think there is something important

177
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 11: for us to note. Law enforcement listed Momta listed, categorized

178
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 11: her disappearance as involuntary.

179
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 8: Okay, this is important for a couple of reasons.

180
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 11: First and foremost when they categorize her disappearances involuntary. That's

181
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 11: in the NCIC database where all missing cases go. Okay,

182
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 11: this is one of six categorizations, and that involuntary coding

183
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 11: makes up less than one percent of all missing people

184
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 11: in the United States.

185
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 8: So when law enforcement.

186
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 11: Did that, that's a strong indicator to me that they

187
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 11: have more information on the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

188
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: Okay, that was a lot of words, Brian Fitzgibbons. And

189
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: you know how I like to hear.

190
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: It fast and furious, like a bullet.

191
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: Give it to me and a bullet.

192
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: Can you do that?

193
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 11: No?

194
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: Well, okay, you know what. I'll take your words and

195
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: I'll shoot them right back at you and a bullet.

196
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: Cops says, she's involuntarily missing. What does that mean? It's

197
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: what we've been saying for now, what thirteen minutes. She

198
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: would never have left her child, her baby girl willingly,

199
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: she didn't decide to go to the mall.

200
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 2: Can you agree with that, Brian?

201
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 8: Absolutely? Absolutely. I think back that I had.

202
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 11: Two children, Nancy, and if my wife was gone for

203
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 11: more than four hours, I'd be calling everybody in the

204
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 11: neighborhood to find where she was. The bottom line is

205
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 11: days and days went by, and this is absolutely a urgent,

206
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 11: urgent matter here.

207
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: Bryan Fitzgimmons, did you just say, the director Operations USPA

208
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: Nationwide Security, if your wife is gone four hours and

209
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: you don't hear from her, you find that odd.

210
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 11: Absolutely, I'm calling everybody in the neighborhood.

211
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 8: Okay, So it's not just me, it's not just you

212
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 8: and Nancy.

213
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: No, Because if my husband is gone that long, I'm

214
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: not like, Ooh, let me read his emails. He's with somebody,

215
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: he's out of the bar.

216
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 2: I don't think that.

217
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: I think things like he's had a wreck, somebody hit

218
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: him over the head of the parking lot and he's

219
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: bleeding out. Those are the kind of things that come

220
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: to my mind. You know what, I'm with you four

221
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: hours and I don't know where he or my children are.

222
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 2: That's a problem for me.

223
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: So Nadia Navarro joining me friend of Mamta and go

224
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: fund me organizer about help fine Mamta. When you were

225
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: told she did not show up for her shift as

226
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: a pediatric nurse, what did you think? What was your

227
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: immediate thought?

228
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 2: I thought that was impossible. She would never have missed

229
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: a shift.

230
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 5: She wouldn't.

231
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: Virginia Police in search of missing Mom Mamta last scene

232
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 3: in Manessa's Park?

233
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: Where is missing Mom Manta? Notice we say missing, that

234
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: has a whole meaning to it. When you say, oh,

235
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: they're late for work, that's one thing. When you say

236
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: they're missing, that's a whole another scenario.

237
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: To doctor John.

238
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: Delatory joining me Licensed Psychologists Mediator, It specializes in forensic psychology,

239
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: Doctor Delatory, thank you for being with us.

240
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: I'm a little concerned.

241
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: Why is it us if five and myself and our

242
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: whole crew searching for mom to her baby shower of friends?

243
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: Why was her disappearance so quickly discounted? Days went by

244
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: before she was officially named as missing.

245
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 12: Well, see, here's from my perspective. I think the police

246
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 12: are trying to catch up, right, and you know the

247
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 12: other guest was describing how she's involuntary. But why did

248
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 12: it take so long? Who says that the last time

249
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 12: she was seen was at July? That was on July thirty? First,

250
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 12: where did the police get that information? Could it have

251
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 12: been possible that she's been missing for a lot longer?

252
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 12: And her disappearance just wasn't actually raised. Who had you

253
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 12: know where? Where was the urgency from her family members

254
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 12: to get this name out there, to say, hey, she's gone,

255
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 12: she's engaging in a behavior that she has no business

256
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 12: engaging in, that she would never do under any circumstances.

257
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 12: Where is the urgency to get this done?

258
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 8: Now?

259
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 12: I can understand people, you know, deal with stressors in

260
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 12: all different kinds of ways. But if your statement is

261
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 12: is that you love her and this person is important

262
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 12: to you, you would anticipate that they would do more

263
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 12: to get a resolution to what is going on.

264
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 8: Joining me.

265
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: Investigative reporter from Fox five Nana Saint to Bonsou Nana

266
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: Delatory brings up a good point like why didn't the

267
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: family raise a red bell of alarm? Well?

268
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: What wait?

269
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: When you are working crazy shifts as a pediatric nurse,

270
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: that can be at night, that can be in the

271
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: mornings when you're raising.

272
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: A child and you're up with the baby all during

273
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: the night.

274
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: You may not check in with mom and dad religiously

275
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: every day.

276
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: Two or three days can pass when you haven't spoken

277
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: to them. Does that happen to me?

278
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: No?

279
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: But does it happen to most people?

280
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: Yes?

281
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: So three four days may have passed without her family

282
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: even realizing she was missing.

283
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 6: You know, Nancy, that's a good question, and that's a

284
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 6: question we've all been asking. Why did it take so long? Fine,

285
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 6: if her husband didn't call immediately, what about her parents?

286
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 6: Does she have family?

287
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: How about her siblings?

288
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 6: But to answer your immediate question, I don't know if

289
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 6: Mamsa has an extended family here. We only heard from

290
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 6: a brother a couple of days ago at a community gathering.

291
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 6: He facetimed her video called in from Nepaul.

292
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: We have to be her voice, along with her friends,

293
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: along with her baby shower friends banding together to try

294
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: to find this missing mom, and with me one of

295
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: those friends, Nadia Navarro, who's spearheading the go FUNDI helped

296
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: find mom to that'sam tam mother, am Ta. Nadia, you

297
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: spoke to her, I guess on weekly every ten day?

298
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: Basis correct? Yes?

299
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 5: And the last time I spoke to her was or

300
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 5: I heard from her was July twenty eighth.

301
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: July twenty eighth, so we know she was alive. July

302
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight, good gravy, it's August fourteen, so you heard not?

303
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: Oh hey, well I've.

304
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: Got you Nadia tell me about her schedule.

305
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: What kind of shifts was she working at the hospital.

306
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 5: So I know she was actually working part time. She

307
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 5: was working twice a week, and I think they were

308
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 5: normally like twelve hour.

309
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: Shifts, so twelve hours per shift. I know she and

310
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: her husband were passing off who was going to be

311
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: with the baby and who was going to go to work.

312
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: He's apparently an it guru, so speaking of the husband.

313
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 4: Listen as police pull up to the home, husband Naresh

314
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 4: Bot tells police that he doesn't know where his wife is,

315
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 4: but he isn't concerned, saying she often leaves for two

316
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 4: or three weeks at a time. Bod tells police they

317
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 4: haven't been getting along well and have even talked about divorce,

318
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 4: even though their families frowned on such talk. Satisfied there's

319
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 4: nothing to worry about, the officers.

320
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: Leave, Okay, what not worried? Not concerned?

321
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: Well, our friends go up in arms when they hear

322
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: this to Nana, saying to Vonsu joining us Fox five

323
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: investigative reporter, you stated that you went to the door

324
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: and knocked on the door, he answered the door. Because

325
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: I've watched him very carefully and of course, I'm just

326
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: a trial lawyer. But I see him trying to like

327
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: walk away from reporters, like, yeah, okay, bye, man. I'd

328
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: be laying on the courthouse steps screaming my head off,

329
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: begging for people to interview me, to help me find

330
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: my husband, don't even mention my twins. But he kind

331
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: of like walks away. He goes, look, I gotta go

332
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: home and take care of the baby. Okay, yeah, I

333
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: can get that part. I can understand that this video

334
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: is from our friends.

335
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 2: At Fox five DC. What did you learn when you

336
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: on the door.

337
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 6: So, as we were approaching the door, we weren't sure

338
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 6: if he was even home because we did hear that

339
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 6: he had spent several hours at the police department on Monday.

340
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 6: So we got to the neighborhood. We did like a

341
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 6: door knock with neighbors. First, we spoke to one neighbor

342
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 6: who said, oh, he's home. We saw him enter, he

343
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 6: went through the garage, so go ahead and knock.

344
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 8: So what do we do?

345
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: We approached the door.

346
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 6: In these situations, you know, you don't know how you

347
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 6: want to enter it. You don't know if he's even

348
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 6: going to open, you don't know what he's going to do.

349
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 6: When he opens, you don't know what you're going to

350
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 6: be standing with. So my photographer and I Jesson decided,

351
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 6: you know what, we're going to roll on the camera.

352
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: We approach the door, I knock.

353
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 6: We stand there for maybe thirty seconds, but he comes out,

354
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 6: opens the storm door, and we just start talking.

355
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: So I'm like, you know, when did she go missing?

356
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 6: Because at this point we're all confused with the timeline.

357
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 6: You know, police are saying she was last seat on

358
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 6: the thirty first. Police are saying they can't the house.

359
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 8: The official report.

360
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 6: Wasn't till August fish. I'm like, let's just ask the

361
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 6: husband when the last time he saw his wife was.

362
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 6: He did not answer that question, but he tells me

363
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 6: on Friday, August second, he called police and police came

364
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 6: to the house. He said something with the reports or

365
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 6: documentation took a while, and then Monday it was officially

366
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 6: documented and the report was official. So we went back

367
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 6: to police a day later and said, hey, her husband

368
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 6: saying that he called if you went, and they said

369
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 6: absolutely not. That has been correct. We went to the

370
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 6: house on Friday because a coworker called for welfare check. Obviously,

371
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 6: I'm finding all of this out after so as I'm

372
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 6: interviewing him, having a conversation with him on Monday, we're

373
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 6: just trying to piece together dates. Anyways, I say, sir,

374
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 6: are you gonna come to this vigil because I'm not

375
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 6: coming to the vigil because the baby is inside and

376
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 6: I have to take care of her. I say any

377
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 6: words that we can just put out to the community,

378
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 6: and he tells me, I just want my wife to

379
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 6: be found positively, positivity, positively. The wording was a little weird,

380
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 6: it was choppy, but we used it. He said he

381
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 6: wants his wife in a positive way, and then he left.

382
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 6: But his demeanor a little shy. Like I said, it

383
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 6: wasn't full sentences. When he was giving us his timeline,

384
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 6: he was a bit all over the place. But I

385
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 6: will tell you, you know, just people don't tend to remember,

386
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 6: like with the first Thursday the second Friday, so he

387
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 6: would go back and forth between Thursday and Friday.

388
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: Nana right now, Yes, I can remember the last time

389
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: I saw my fiancee Keith before he was murdered.

390
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 2: I remember it distinctly.

391
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: It was early morning, around five am on August the sixth.

392
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: I had on my pajamas. He had on a denim shirt.

393
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: He got in his car. He rolled down the driveway

394
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: with my parents home. He took a right turn and

395
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: as he left, he slung his left arm driving with

396
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: his right slung his left arm over the driver's window

397
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: and wave goodbye to me. I remember it to stay.

398
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: I know the time, the location, and the date.

399
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: So I'm having a little problem with you telling me

400
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: that he was quote all over the place regarding the

401
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: last time he saw his wife. And you know what

402
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: wife is enough, But what about the fact this is

403
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: the mother of his child.

404
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 10: Family and friends insist Mamta would never leave her baby.

405
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 10: Following the women's outrage, police follow up with Naresh BoNT.

406
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 10: This time they asked to look around the house inside

407
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 10: and out. After Manassa's police talked to Bot, he decides

408
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 10: he should file a missing person report.

409
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 3: Argent, a mom of a ten month old baby seemingly

410
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 3: vanishes from a Virginia town family and desperate search of Mamta.

411
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: And that search is becoming more desperate as every day passes.

412
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: To Brian Fitzgibbons, Director Operations USPA Nationwide Security, could you

413
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: explain it and the way only you can that every

414
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: hour a missing person remains missing. I don't mean a

415
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: mom on a walk about or a mom going from

416
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: me time with her girlfriends. I mean truly, as she

417
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: is categorized by police involuntarily missing. With every hour, the

418
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: statistics of her coming home alive lesson.

419
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 11: Absolutely, the chances of her coming home alive go down

420
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 11: with every hour that passes Nancy. And my question for

421
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 11: Nurash is when was this time that she was gone from?

422
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 11: Multiple weeks at a time, we have Mamta on social

423
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 11: media posting on almost a daily basis videos with their

424
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 11: baby at their house.

425
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 8: Okay, so this is a very concerning case.

426
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 11: Every day that goes by, there's a baby that doesn't

427
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 11: know where a mother is. And we're scratching our heads

428
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 11: here wondering why this timeline is what it is.

429
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: And what about the husband? And let me get this straight.

430
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: Not the same to Botsu joining us Investi report Fox five,

431
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: and again, thank you for that exclusive video you're letting

432
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: us use. What am I hearing that he has had

433
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: to make a note of this active special secret intel

434
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: what does he call it? Active secret clearance with the army?

435
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 2: What?

436
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 3: Nancy?

437
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 6: These are all things we're trying to confirm on our end.

438
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 6: Of course, yes, we've seen his book, we've seen the images,

439
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 6: We've we've spoken to friends just like Nadia who have

440
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 6: shared with us that he did serve at a point

441
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 6: he was deployed in comeback. We're still waiting on confirmation

442
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 6: for the actual details of when he served, what he served,

443
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 6: and what clearances he has. But these are all things

444
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 6: that we're just working to try to confirm, to even

445
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 6: try to get a better idea of.

446
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to find that out anytime.

447
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 4: Listen an it Guru. Momta's husband, rash Bond, is not

448
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 4: actively searching for his wife, explaining that he has left

449
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 4: to take care of their baby girl. Notably, he also

450
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 4: has not helped to spread her story or her missing

451
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 4: person post her on social media.

452
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 8: Why.

453
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 4: He claims to have a sensitive job with the US military,

454
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 4: but even given his so called secret clearance, he's uncertain

455
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 4: exactly when he reported his wife missing. Bod tells Fox

456
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 4: five he contacted police Friday, August second, but police didn't

457
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 4: file the report until Monday, August fifth. He then tells

458
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 4: another outlet he contacted police on August fourth and filed

459
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 4: the missing person to report while other reports say Mamta

460
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 4: wasn't reported missing until August fifth.

461
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: Back out to our guests, let me understand something, Brian

462
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: has Gibbons. The police performed a wellfared check, right, but

463
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: and jump in, Nadia, Nana Dodge delatory, Kathleen, Brian. When

464
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: police first went to the home, it seemed to me

465
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: that the husband explained away her absence and police just

466
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: went away.

467
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 11: Correct, Nancy. It sounds like police accepted what Naresh told

468
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 11: them that Manta typically goes missing now.

469
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 8: Or typically goes away for a week or two at

470
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 8: a time.

471
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 11: Now, this seems to be contrary to what her friends

472
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 11: and family are saying.

473
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fact that she would just quote go away

474
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: for weeks on end got them in an outrage. And again,

475
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: let me report the husband has not been named a

476
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: suspect in Manta's disappearance. But I want to follow up, Brian,

477
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: was something you detected regarding a chat room an online

478
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: group mom to visited?

479
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 11: Yes, Nancy, and this gives us more concern in this case.

480
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 11: Members of a private Facebook group have come forward and

481
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 11: provided some screenshots of Manta's communications over the last few

482
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 11: months that she was in the process of separating from

483
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 11: her okay, and there were some concerning postsmade in there

484
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 11: and concerning comments that Monta made about not having access

485
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 11: to funds, not having access to a vehicle, not understanding

486
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 11: the different laws around custody, and various threats that were

487
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 11: made to her by Naresh about the custody of their child.

488
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 8: So this adds to the mix of.

489
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 11: That reporting timeline and the time loss in this case

490
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 11: that these are really dire circumstances for Manta.

491
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 3: Days pass before the husband of missing Virginia mom and

492
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: nurse Mamta bond reports are missing to authorities. Where is Mamta?

493
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: We were just speaking to domestic relations expert Kathleen Murphy. Kathleen,

494
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: you were talking about the sometimes explosive scenario when you

495
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: have a baby as additional stress. The baby is up

496
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: all night, both of the parents are working. Now you

497
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: see the mom here Mamta. And I'm gonna I'm looking

498
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: forward to hearing from Nadia Navarro who is one of

499
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: her dear friends going online to an anonymous chat room.

500
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: She doesn't know these people, they don't know her, begging

501
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: for help. Now, I want to circle back to what

502
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier. I mentioned it for a reason that

503
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: stated Feb. Sixteen. He is telling people, the husband that

504
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: he has quote active secret clearance with the army, all right, whatever,

505
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: but he's telling that to his wife too, so in

506
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: her mind he is an it guru. He has secret,

507
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: special secret clearance with the army, with the government. Can

508
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: you imagine and how this adds to her feeling of helplessness.

509
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 9: See it all the time where women are coming into

510
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 9: my office and they tell me these stories from their

511
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 9: husbands and they're scared. They don't know how to make decisions.

512
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 9: Making these decisions to leave their spouse, it's very difficult

513
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 9: in combination with the information that they're getting from their spouse,

514
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 9: it's so dangerous. Nancy and I have really bad feelings

515
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 9: for this mother because I don't believe she's alive at

516
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 9: this point.

517
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: Last scene in the home, I'm going to go to

518
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: Nadia Navorro, Momta's friend and this is the person that

519
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: banded everyone together to start looking for mom to after

520
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: a baby share our friends contact to her and she's fearheaded.

521
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: The gofund me help find Mom. To Emma's and mother

522
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: a Emmason Mother Ta, Nadia, were you privy to any

523
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: of the dynamic between her and her husband.

524
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 5: Absolutely when I lived with them, actually I just lived

525
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 5: with Mamta, and he would call me on my phone

526
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 5: constantly and text me constantly.

527
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: I figured it was Mamta's first time.

528
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 5: In the States and that he was just really worried

529
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 5: about her well being. But it did get very intense

530
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 5: for me as he started to kind of control where

531
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 5: I would go too, and like at one point I

532
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 5: wanted to take Mamka to an Indian store so she

533
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 5: could see all the spices, and it just was about

534
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 5: ten minutes.

535
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: Further than we normally drove.

536
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 5: It was only about twenty minutes then, like total, but

537
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 5: he wouldn't really let her leave the house, like that

538
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 5: was any further than five minutes. And on our way there,

539
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 5: he started calling us frantically, and he started yelling at

540
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 5: me to turn around and that she couldn't go there

541
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 5: and that it was too far away. I thought it

542
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 5: was a lot, but I thought maybe he's just I

543
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 5: can see now in hindsight that it was extremely controlling behavior,

544
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 5: but I was naive and I just thought he was

545
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 5: worried for her.

546
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: Let me understand something. I'm hearing this for the first time.

547
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: Not even Navarro a friend of mantas you stated that

548
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: he would call and text you constantly yes about what he.

549
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 5: Just needed, constant location updates from me. So if we

550
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 5: went anywhere to grab food or to want to study,

551
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 5: he would be like, where exactly are you?

552
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Who are you with?

553
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 5: And you have to be back in thirty minutes basically.

554
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: To the house. What are you doing? Who are you with?

555
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: How would mom to react to all that?

556
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 5: Oh? She would.

557
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: She actually did very well. She goes, oh, he's just worried.

558
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 5: And it did make me a little worried, but her

559
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 5: reaction would kind of soften it for me. She would say,

560
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 5: it's okay, it's it's normal.

561
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: He's just worried.

562
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 5: And I was like, this doesn't seem normal. But if

563
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 5: you're saying it's normal and it's a cultural thing, okay, you.

564
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: Know what, I feel sick to my stomach. Doctor John

565
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: Delatory explain.

566
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, it should make you feel sick to your stomach, Nancy,

567
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 12: Because here's the issue. These are the kinds of yellow

568
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 12: flags that people often just kind of push to the side.

569
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 12: This is clear power and control elements that are associated

570
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 12: with domestic abusers, but it's still it's still at the

571
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 12: top of the list. There's a reason why if a

572
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 12: woman goes missing, the first person you look at is

573
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 12: her boyfriend slash husband.

574
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: Guys, let me give you a number the National Domestic

575
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: Violence Hotline eight hundred seven seven two three three repeat

576
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: eight hundred and seven ninety nine seven two three three,

577
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: and let me reiterate the husband has not been named

578
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: a person of interest or a suspect. Tonight, we are

579
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: all about finding Manta.

580
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 3: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, a nurse mom of a

581
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: ten month old baby, misses her shift at the hospital.

582
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 3: Her husband doesn't report her missing for almost a week.

583
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: Where is Mamta? Where is Mamta?

584
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: There is a tip line number seven zero three three

585
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: six one one one three six repeat seven zero three

586
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: three one one three six. She has been classified as

587
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 1: involuntarily missing. Involuntarily missing. To Nadia Navarro, her friend who's

588
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: spearheading the GoFundMe to help the search effort, I'm amazed

589
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: and flabbergasted that it's her baby, shower friends banding together

590
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: to try to find her, creating the flyers, getting it

591
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: out there, getting it on social media.

592
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: Tell me about the efforts to find Mamta.

593
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 5: Well, When I was told that Mamta was missing, I

594
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 5: had a really hard time finding news and confirmation of it.

595
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 2: I googled, I looked everywhere.

596
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 5: And I just couldn't find information at first, until I

597
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 5: went onto Facebook. I had to go onto the specific

598
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 5: Manassas Park police website and that's when I started seeing

599
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 5: what happened. And I finally was able to find some

600
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 5: things on TikTok, but they were only in Nepali, which

601
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 5: is why I started the Facebook group find momped Up.

602
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 5: Kawfel bought so that I could consolidate everything that I

603
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 5: could find on one page in English so that more

604
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 5: people could find out about it.

605
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 2: Then I made a flyer.

606
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 5: I printed out about five hundred copies and I let

607
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 5: people know that I was going to be handing out

608
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 5: stacks of flyers to post around town. And the first

609
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 5: day I did that, only one person showed up. And

610
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 5: we did our best to go into her neighborhood.

611
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 2: We let her neighbors know. Her neighbors were not even aware.

612
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 5: Her next door neighbors had no idea. I mean, nobody

613
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 5: knew that she was missing, and I wasn't going to

614
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 5: let that. We've also raised money now I've raised over

615
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 5: two thousand dollars to help pay for flyers. We bought

616
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 5: walkie talkies, we bought marking tape for areas that we're

617
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 5: going to search, and whistles and reflective mess.

618
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: To Brian Fitzgibbons, Director Operations USPA Nationwide Security, did you

619
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: hear what not? Endavarro just said. She and the other

620
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: ladies are having to do a GoFundMe to get money

621
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: to make more flyers. Only one person showed up to

622
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 1: help her go search physically search for mam Toa. I mean,

623
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: how wrong is this? Why is this happening to this

624
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: young mom? I mean, think about it. The husband's not

625
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: out there searching for her, the brothers in De Paul,

626
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:04,360

Speaker 6: is taken for granted or no one notices, because it's

652
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 6: through you creating that Facebook page that news outlets and

653
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 6: journalists like myself were able to figure out what was happening,

654
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 6: getting on that Facebook page, making those flyers coming together,

655
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 6: posting those up, those gatherings and vigils, and making those

656
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 6: signs That's what alerted us and prompted us to, for

657
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 6: lack of better words, the severity of the situation.
