Hello, everyone and welcome to police off the cuff, real crime stories.

I'm your host, retired NYPD Sergeant Bill Cannon, a 27-year veteran of the NYPD.

This case of, we'll put it up on the screen, missing Manassas mom, Manta, but has really,

very chilling to all of us because it's clearly a domestic violence case. And, you know,

we can't say the would or should or could us, but people must have known that she was

suffering or she was being abused at home. And I could easily say, oh, you know, that old adage we've been using since 9-11, if you see

something, say something.

And that goes to domestic violence also.

If you know someone is in a domestic violence situation, you have to reach out to someone.

And someone may say, oh, it's none of your business, but look what apparently happened here.

Apparently, Momta was murdered by her husband, and I hate to be that blunt, but the evidence

is pointing directly toward that.

And we've covered these domestic violence cases before.

And rarely does the abused suffer in silence.

Rarely does the abused person not tell anyone.

So many people, perhaps, who work with Momta, who were friends, this is a very tight

community that she lives in.

Nepalese people that live in Manassas, Virginia, very tight. And they're,

they help each other out. And they're very territorial with the members of their community.

And so I believe many, many people knew about this and just very sad that domestic violence doesn't get better by itself.

The only way it gets better is if the abused leaves or the abuser gets arrested.

And that is the only way to correct situations like this.
