VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - His daughter was missing for almost two years, and now his ex-wife has been charged with international parental abduction.
Like many families across the United States, Anthony Gentile shared custody of his two-year-old daughter, Amelia, with his ex-wife, Kathleen Shehadeh, who lived in Virginia Beach. He lives in Maryland.
Back in July 2018, Gentile said he spoke to his daughter on Skype and had plans to see his little girl the next day, but he said suddenly communication was cut off.
Soon after, he said he received a letter in the mail from his ex-wife making saying that she was moving out west and would let him know when they settled into their new home.
