Iva Koopman’s niece says she believes the boyfriend is holding her hostage.

“He was abusive,” said Amanda Lord. “He stabbed her. She went to the hospital. She didn’t want to press charges because she was too scared.”

Lord says her aunt did end up leaving her boyfriend, but he came back.

“She packed her stuff and left, and when he got here he burned the whole place down. And no one has seen her or him.”

"The sister did say, 'hey they've had some issues in the past, she ended up with some injuries,'" Baul said.

Koopman's family believes her boyfriend attacked her, she then went to the home to pack. They believe he got angry and set the house on fire. Records show he's a convicted sex offender in Texas.

Not liking the sound of this at all...
She's a nice-looking woman -- she's had a tuff time, seems to me.
This paragraph, italics by me --

“He was abusive,” said Amanda Lord. “He stabbed her. She went to the hospital. She didn’t want to press charges because she was too scared.”

-- from the leading post above from @GuyfromCanada (thanks for the post, Guy) is very scary. That poor woman. She may have run into very bad trouble from this ~boyfriend~ this time.
Hoping for the best...

So he stabbed her before the 1st of the month? That’s SO many days to be held captive after such a brutal attack, and immediately after leaving an abuser is the most dangerous. At this point I think it would be a miracle to find her alive, I hope she is and that they find her soon, so worried about her!!! :(

Totally with you on your post, @Dre -- it's been too long, IMO. SMH
I'm hoping, too, for a good conclusion to this -- her poor family. I don't use Facebook, so I know nothing about her children -- at least it sounds like she has children. Does anyone know how old they are and where they are?

Prayers -- this woman just appeals to me somehow... She deserves some good luck and help from where ever it can be found.

Tulsa family desperate for answers on the whereabouts of their missing daughter | KTUL
[...]

Her mother LK and sister ML are both desperate to find her.

They say she went missing five days before her home off 46th Street North and Main Street went up in flames.

The home is gutted and unlivable.

[...]

Officer Andre Baul says there is significant concern about her safety and well being.

He says there is a history of abuse between Koopman and her boyfriend.

[...]

LK and ML say there has been family drama between Koopman.

But they say they love her and just want her home.

Iva was last seen: E 46th St N & N Main St - Google Maps

This is the only recent report of a fire I can find in that area. Is this the one?

MAR 11, 2021
Tulsa Fire Department | Facebook
At 6:35 am, multiple 911 calls alerted our dispatchers that a house near Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and East 46th Street North was fully involved with flames. ... Crews say they responded to a fire at the same vacant house just a few weeks earlier. No injuries.

It is .1 miles from where she was last seen or a 2 minute walk.

I am wondering how well they've searched the property. Jacquelin Terrulli went missing at the time of a house fire and her remains were found eight months later on the same property.

Her remains were discovered wrapped in plastic and buried several feet in the ground near the home, prosecutors said. As a result of the fire at the 6,000 square foot residence, extensive charred rubble had collapsed upon and covered the burial site.

Her missing photo posted above is a mugshot. I found two other mugshots from 2019 arrests. Could there be a chance she's out on bond and is voluntarily missing? That's not good but it's way better than the alternative of her boyfriend possibly harming her. Be safe Iva.

Given that the boyfriend burned her house down after she went missing, I fear this isn't the case. :(

Thanks - the original Tulsa Police report I read said nothing about the house burning. I see it now in other posts. Thanks all for sharing!

She was so scared that she didn’t press charges..
Freaking heartbreaking.
sex offender and domestic (extreme) violence, should be locked up for good as he could very well have some murder victims down the line if he doesn’t already :(
Hope she’s okay and in hiding.
