When police showed up at the Bat home for a welfare check, Momta Bat was nowhere to be found.

Her husband Nuresh didn't seem alarmed.

In fact, he suggested she may have just left, maybe to visit family in another state.

But Momta didn't have family in the United States.

And as investigators began to look closer at what was happening inside that house, the story he was telling was starting to fall apart.

Hey guys, and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast. A true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa.

Hi, Mandy. How are you? I am doing well. We are recording this on Easter weekend.

Yeah. And my kids are officially on break from school for the next week. So yeah, there's a lot

going on here. Yeah. After this, I am going to a

farmer's market. I have to drop my daughter out somewhere. I've never been. Isn't that crazy? Like, I don't think I have. I might not have been to like an official. I've never sought it out.

And the second I buy good ones, you know what's going to happen. No one's going to eat them. Well, you know the freeze that we had, like ruined a lot of our crops and like. Yeah. You sound like a farmer, by the way. Remember that freeze we had back in?

Well, it hasn't really froze like that.

And for those who don't know, we actually had like a hard freeze in central Florida this year.

Yeah, where like the sustained temperatures overnight.

It was like freezing for more than like 12 hours.

And so a lot of plants that are native to Florida

and crops and things obviously are not built to be below freezing for 12 plus hours. And it does
