EMILY'S CASE
www.emilyscase.com
I am a 40 year old father of three children--two boys ages 9 & 6, and my baby girl Emily Alina Koyama born July 5, 2008.
I mention Emily's full name and birth date because she was taken from my home February 2, 2009, by her mother Trina Atwell-Chavarria to Costa Rica.
In September of 2007 I met Trina on Myspace through a mutual friend; we exchanged friendly conversation. She gave me her phone number and we talked daily for two weeks until one day she asked if I'd like to meet her for coffee. We arranged to meet. It was a whirlwind romance from that point on. Shortly thereafter, when Trina told me she had to move out of her apartment, I offered to let her move in with me until she could get back on her feet. It didn't take long, less than 3 weeks, to figure out that we really weren't compatible in our values and living standards so I decided to ask her to move out. But before I could do that, she announced that she was pregnant. Of course that changed everything and I decided that I needed to overlook differences and focus instead on getting to know her, getting to love her, and to appreciate the good things about her so we could give our children (my two boys, her 11-year old daughter, and our unborn child) a safe and loving home and a stable environment.
I found out very quickly that a stable environment was not in the picture, as Trina's way of coping with things not going her way was to run away, which she did frequently during our short relationship and, as I found out afterward, she did in all her failed relationships.
Trina told me she wanted to be with me forever...
February 2, 2009 I came home and found all of Trina and Emily's belongings gone, and she sent me a text message that she needed to stay at her mother's home for a while. I later found out she had been planning on kidnapping Emily to Costa Rica for over three months after speaking to one of her friends.
I am now fighting for my daughter in the jurisdiction of Costa Rica where they take the woman's word over the man's almost every time. I pray they see the light when I appear in their court with all legal documents to discount all allegations against me, all translated into Spanish to make it easier for them to understand my case and the crime committed against my family.
Trina now has a felony warrant for her arrest in the U.S.
Please help me and the other children involved get their sister back where she rightfully belongs.

God Bless you and thank you for helping
UPDATE: I have won my International Hague Trial and have full custody of Emily in the U.S. but still don't have Emily at home. I now have the support of Senator Elect Roy Blunt, the Department of State, and NCMEC to help me bring justice to the crime committed against me and my family. the fight is still on and I will never give up on getting Emily back home where she belongs.
