Newburgh Heights Police Chief John Majoy weighs in on reports more than 1,000 children have gone missing in northern Ohio on 'Sunday Night In America.' 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. (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. Ava was reported missing from her elementary school, having not shown up for nearly three weeks when the school contacted her father.

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. Ava hadn't been in class for 21 days and the school wanted to know if he knew where she was. Ava and her mother, Kathryn Baldwin, lived in San Antonio, Texas while Hopper lived in central Oklahoma, a seven-hour drive away. Ava was born to the couple after a 34-day marriage. When the school contacted him, Hopper called the San Antonio police to report 6-year-old Ava missing.

What police found surprised them. Conspiracy theories swarm social media with curiosity, claiming Ava Grace Baldwin might have been found and no longer missing because she is making rounds on TikTok videos. Some have even questioned if this is the same Ava that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs blasted out on social media he adopted. Ava Grace Baldwin disappears from her elementary school when she was just six years old. Ava’s father, David Hopper, believes his daughter is with her non-custodial mother, Kathryn Ann Baldwin, his ex-wife, and that she is hiding Ava away from him. Ava would be a teenager now and was last seen in San Antonio, Texas, on September 17, 2015.

Kathryn Ann Baldwin, who has a felony warrant out for her for interfering with child custody. David seems to think his ex-wife, the bio mom of Ava Grace, may be in hiding with the child to keep David from having a relationship with his daughter. Ava’s mother and father, David Hopper, had joint custody of her. After Hopper requested full custody, Kathryn disappeared with Ava Grace. Kathryn’s vehicle, a silver 2014 Ford Escape with the Illinois license plate number Q29-2793, was found abandoned in a parking lot on Whitby Road in San Antonio in April 2016, just seven months after... Kathryn has a history of alcohol and prescription drug abuse, suffers from mental illness, and is supposed to take medication, but there’s been no record of her refilling her prescriptions since 2015.

She and Ava may move frequently and may be staying in women’s shelters and/or homeless shelters. Kathryn may tell people she is being stalked.
