from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

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 Tik Tok videos.  Some have even questioned is this the same Ava, 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, bio mom of Ava Grace, maybe 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 disappears 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 the pair disappeared without a trace.  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. Kathryn's family states they haven't seen or heard from Kathryn or Ava since 2015 and they too believe both are dead, but Hopper thinks they are alive and in hiding, possibly being helped by friends or family. Kathryn has family in Texas, Oklahoma, California, Florida and Illinois, and friends in several parts of the country as well. Ava's disappearance remains unsolved. She was involved in cheerleading, soccer, gymnastics, and tumbling prior to her disappearance.
