In the early spring of 2021, a 38-year-old woman named Iva "Jojo" Koopman vanished from Tulsa, Oklahoma, under deeply concerning circumstances. She was last seen on March 1, 2021, in the vicinity of 46th Street North and Main Street. Friends and family have not had any contact with her since the day after a fire ravaged her home. The last known sighting of Iva was of her being assisted by an older Black male in a light blue van at 10 E 46th St N. At the time of her disappearance, Iva was described as a white female with blonde or strawberry-blonde hair and blue eyes, standing between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 5 inches tall, and weighing around 123 pounds. Her appearance was distinguished by several piercings, including in her ears, tongue, and belly button, as well as a half-moon shaped scar on her upper right shoulder blade and tattoos of a small butterfly on her lower back and a flower on her left ankle. She was known to often wear her long hair in a bun and favored dangling earrings, multiple necklaces, and a toe ring. The days leading up to Iva's disappearance were fraught with turmoil. There are reports of a history of domestic abuse between Iva and her boyfriend, and her family has expressed significant concern for her safety and well-being due to this volatile relationship. It is believed by her family that Iva had gone to her home to gather her belongings following an assault by her boyfriend, who they allege then became enraged and set the house on fire. This history of abuse has led to her case being classified as an endangered adult disappearance. The timing of the fire at her home, occurring just after she was last seen, has only intensified the anxieties of her loved ones, who describe her lack of contact as highly uncharacteristic. The investigation into Iva Koopman's disappearance remains active, with the Tulsa Police Department seeking any information that could lead to her whereabouts. Her case is a painful example of the intersection of domestic violence and missing persons cases, highlighting the extreme vulnerability of individuals in abusive relationships. The circumstances surrounding her last known moments, coupled with the fire at her home and her history of domestic abuse, paint a grim picture for those who are desperately awaiting answers. The lack of any contact for several years has left her family in a state of perpetual worry, holding onto hope while fearing the worst. The overview of this case underscores a tragic story of a woman who vanished amidst a backdrop of violence and fear, leaving a community and a family searching for a resolution.
