Hannah Kobayashi, a 30-year-old from Hawaii, has made headlines after being reported missing in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) provided an update on Monday, revealing that she was last spotted crossing the southern border into Mexico, as confirmed by video evidence supplied by US immigration officials. Kobayashi had landed in Los Angeles from Hawaii and purposely missed her flight to New York, raising questions among her loved ones who had been receiving distressing messages from her about theft of her money and identity.
During a news conference, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell addressed the situation, indicating that Kobayashi seemed to be in good condition and that there was no indication of foul play. He classified her as a "voluntarily missing person", particularly noting her expressed desire to disconnect from modern life. “The investigation has not uncovered any evidence that Kobayashi is being trafficked or is a victim of foul play,” McDonnell stated.
Kobayashi has been unaccounted for since November 8, with her last known whereabouts in Los Angeles around November 12. Her family contests the police's portrayal of her intentionally missing her connecting flight, voicing ongoing concerns for her safety. “The lack of communication surrounding some important details has left us feeling excluded from potentially crucial developments,” said her sister, Sydni.
In a tragic turn of events, Hannah's father, Ryan Kobayashi, who traveled to California in hopes of finding her, was confirmed dead near Los Angeles International Airport on November 24. The LA coroner's office reported he suffered multiple blunt force traumatic injuries. The search for Hannah continues, with her family remaining hopeful for her safe return. If you have been affected by any of the issues raised, support organizations are available for assistance.
