The mother of a missing Virginia mom revealed the final conversation she had with her daughter before she vanished.
July 29 was the last time Mamta Bhatt, 28, spoke with her mom over the phone.
"A very sincere person, very honest person," Gita Kafle explained to WUSA-TV Monday. "I haven't seen anybody like her. She was very honest. My daughter was a very strong, hardworking, intelligent person."
Mamta would gush about the joys of raising her 1-year-old daughter and the work she did as a pediatric nurse in her daily conversations with her mom.
She never alluded to any trouble in her three-year marriage to her husband, Naresh Bhatt, 37, who has since been charged with concealing a dead body in connection with her disappearance from the family's Manassas Park, Virginia home, three months ago.
He pleaded not guilty.
While her body has yet to be found, police are acting on the presumption Mamta is dead.
"She would only talk to me about good things," said Gita. "Because I was far, she would not tell me about anything bad."
Bhatt reported Mamta missing Aug. 5. He was arrested three weeks later.
During an initial search of the couple's home, traces of blood were allegedly discovered by investigators.
Detectives said forensic evidence indicated Mamta's body was dragged out of the home, WTTG-TV previously reported, citing court documents.
At a September bond hearing, prosecutors alleged surveillance footage captured Bhatt wearing gloves and disposing of several trash bags containing bloody evidence in multiple dumpsters near their community around the time Mamta was last seen alive.
A bloody bath mat was also allegedly recovered in an area donation bin.
"We don't want to imagine the things that happened," Mamta's brother, Mahesh Kafle, admitted, according to WUSA.
In September, a Virginia judge granted Bhatt's motion for a speedy trial, allowing the defense to bypass a grand jury and setting the stage for litigation to begin in December.
"I don't know what to say because I can never forget her," Gita explained, "but whenever I think about it, I have heartache."
