The father of a missing Hawaiian woman, Ryan Kobayashi, has died after an apparent suicide, according to Los Angeles police.

The 58-year-old father was looking for his daughter, 30-year-old Hannah Kobayashi, after she missed her connecting flight to New York from LAX. According to the family, Hannah was scheduled to meet with family on November 8.

Kobayashi died after jumping from a parking garage near LAX sometime around 4 a.m. Sunday, police confirmed.

A vigil was held outside the Crypto.com Arena on Thursday for Hannah, who is still missing.

On November 11, family members say they received strange text messages from Hannah about someone trying to steal her identity. All calls that day went straight to voicemail. The family has not heard from her since.

The family of a woman who disappeared from LAX after missing her connecting flight is pleading with the public and police to help find her. Darsha Philips reports for NBC4 News at 11:00 PM on November 21, 2024.

Surveillance footage shows Kobayashi boarding the subway at Pico Station on November 18 at 10 p.m.

“We’re trying to get them to take us seriously because it’s been 11 days,” said Laire Pidgeon, Kobayashi’s aunt. “The fact that she does not have a mental illness and is not elderly does not mean that nothing has happened to her.”

Kobayashi was last seen wearing black leggings, a tie-dye sweatshirt and a green backpack.

Any information regarding her whereabouts should be reported to the LAPD.
