Thanks for keeping it right here at 6.30.
Our top story this half hour,
cell phone data took center stage on day 12
of the Naresh Bhatt murder trial in Prince William County.
Manassas Park man accused of killing his wife, Mamta Koffel.
Fox 5's Tisha Lewis live in the newsroom tonight
with the latest on today's testimony.
Tisha.
Kenneth, that's right.
A lot of new details and evidence emerging in this case.
An FBI expert took the stand today discussing cell phone records
for Naresh Bhatt's wife,
Mamta.
The FBI expert
also reviewing Naresh Bhatt's Tesla records in court today.
They generally were in the same area at all times,
except for three instances.
One instance was when, if you recall,
that Tesla went to the area in the early morning hours
to the general vicinity of a trash compactor.
That is the time at which the green phone did
not move with that Tesla as it went towards
Falls Church.
The second time was another visit
to that trash compactor later that day in the afternoon.
Again, the green phone did not move
with that blue Tesla as it went to Falls Church.
The last time, as we've just discussed, was when the green phone did
not move with the blue Tesla as it went to Chantilly.
Meanwhile, several neighbors
from three different homes also testifying to Naresh.
Bhatt did not tell them Mamta was missing.
Going on to say they learned about her disappearance
on Facebook via a page dedicated to helping find her.
The neighbors say they have not seen or heard
from Mamta since July of 2024,
saying Naresh Bhatt did not tell them his wife was missing.
Another neighbor took the stand saying he had
a conversation with Naresh Bhatt about the couple's
marriage. The neighbor saying he
was uncomfortable discussing the couple's marriage. Even so,
but reportedly telling the neighbor he was considering divorce.
Were you comfortable talking to Naresh about his marriage?
No.
Did Naresh tell you that Mamta went missing?
No.
Did Naresh tell you his wife was missing?
Did not.
Did Naresh ever come to you for help locating his wife?
Not that I'm aware of, no.
Did you see him in August of 2024?
Yes.
And what was his demeanor at the time?
I noticed no change in any other of our interactions.
I didn't notice a change.
That neighbor going on is saying that Naresh Bhatt was considered a
newcomer to the neighborhood
and was not a part of private group chats between neighbors
or even neighborhood plants. Kenneth.
