What happened to Hannah Kobayashi?

Hannah first missed a connecting flight from Maui to New York City at Los Angeles International Airport on Nov. 8, Kobayashi’s relatives told USA Today. Her sister Sydni explained to CNN that Hannah and her boyfriend had planned to visit an aunt in upstate New York, but they broke up after booking the flights.

Larie Pidgeon, one of Hannah’s aunts, told USA Today that on November 11, the family “started getting texts” from Hannah’s number saying she “didn’t feel safe, that someone was trying to steal her money, that someone was taking her money tried to steal’. to take away her identity.”

Pidgeon said the messages sent to family and friends included “weird things, calling us sweetie, things that weren’t quite the normal way she talks.”

“She texted (a friend) that she was scared and she couldn’t come home or something,” Sydni told HawaiiNewsNow. “They were just really weird texts. … It doesn’t sound like them — like there’s just something strange about it. So I wasn’t too sure. I don’t know if it was her or someone else texting.” and was.”

That was the last message anyone received from Hannah’s cell number. The family also told HawaiiNewsNow that Hannah’s ex-boyfriend, who arrived in New York on November 8, “was extremely responsive and cooperative with the investigation.”

On November 15, the LAPD Missing Persons Unit created a poster describing Hannah and stating that she was last seen at LAX on November 11. The family also filed a report with the FBI.

A group of people gathered in Los Angeles after a missing persons report was filed to search nearby areas to see if they could find Hannah. Her father, Ryan, was one of them.

“There are a lot of people looking for you, Hannah,” Ryan told NBC affiliate KHNL from Honolulu. “So if you get this, if you see anything, just go to the police, go to whoever. There are many people who care and love you, Hannah.
