The father of a Texas girl, who disappeared from San Antonio in September 2015 when she was 6 years old, believes his ex-wife of just 34 days is hiding her. David Hopper and Kathryn "Katie" Baldwin were married for just 34 days before they decided to split. He only learned during divorce proceedings that she was pregnant with their daughter, Ava Grace Baldwin, who is now 14 years old. "I met her at a recovery group called Celebrate Recovery. And she had a great story — come to find out it wasn't true," Hopper, who lives in Oklahoma, told Fox News Digital. They had a whirlwind courtship followed by a small marriage shortly after meeting, only to file for divorce just over a month later.

It was during the separation process that Baldwin said she was pregnant, but she apparently claimed Hopper was not the father. A court-ordered DNA test would prove otherwise. When we bring children into the world our first thought and instinct is to protect them. You feel as if you would do anything to keep them from harm. We nurture them and teach them the ways of the world. For many children, they are raised in a two-parent household, with support and love from both.

Others have a single parent, still fighting to protect them from anything. But what happens when a parent is the one a child needs protection from? Today’s story looks at what happened to Ava Baldwin. First, I would also like to thank Tina, Ava’s aunt who is desperate to find her niece. Alongside Ava’s father David in a fight, they hope will they don’t have to pursue much longer. Ava Grace Baldwin was born April 6, 2009, to Mother Kathryn Ann Baldwin in San Antonio, Texas.

A whirlwind romance started in 2008 when David Hopper met Kathryn Baldwin. It was in a recovery group led by David in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The two struck up a conversation and fell head over heels for one another. They quickly married in a small, simple church wedding with plans for a huge one. The extravagate wedding Kathryn hoped for would never come because David saw Kathryn’s true colors. Only married a month, David filed for divorce.

David realized Kathryn was not who she made herself out to be. She was a good liar with mental health issues she was not taking care of properly. The pair would split, with Kathryn going back to San Antonio. Soon after, Kathyrn and David were face to face in a court room when Kathryn dropped a bomb. She was pregnant. Even though this was unexpected and unplanned David attempted to make the best of the situation.

The two had a cordial relationship with David supported Kathryn finically, although the two lived separately. He was present at all doctors' appointments and was buying all things baby. Then, about two months prior to the birth of Ava, Kathryn dropped off the face of the earth. No one could find Kathryn until Tina found Kathryn on Myspace. Figuring out where Kathryn took off to, David filed with the courts to see his daughter. When Ava was six months old, David was able to see her briefly, and the court took a DNA test to determine if David was the biological father.

The DNA results came back that David Hopper was indeed Ava’s father. When this was confirmed, David proceeded to file for joint custody of her, David was awarded joint custody. For many years David tried everything to see his daughter by legal means. Kathryn would make excuses and dodge David any way she could. Once she had to have breast implant surgery so she would not make it to the agreed upon drop off point. In December of 2014 David was supposed to have Ava for the Christmas holiday, and again in the summer of 2015.

Somehow Kathryn managed to evade all of these visitations. Once school was back in session David sent letters to Ava's school requesting, they inform him if Ava was ever absent. The school did reach out to David but only weeks after his daughter failed to attend. They were able to confirm Ava did attend at the beginning of the school year but has not shown up for the past twelve days by this point. This event is what started the nightmare for David and his family. (NewsNation) — The last time Ava Grace Baldwin's father saw her, she was 6 years old.

Eight years later, he believes his ex-wife took Ava and has been hiding her for years and thinks his daughter may not even know she's a missing person.

Police think her mother took her and Ava's father has been on an eight-year quest to find her. David Hopper got the call from his daughter's elementary school in September 2015.
