While her father committed suicide in Los Angeles during the search for his daughter, she, missing since the beginning of November, was filmed heading to Mexico.
New information which adds even more mystery to this strange affair. Hannah Kobayashi, who flew from Hawaii to New York on November 8, stopping in Los Angeles during her trip, has been officially missing for more than three weeks. If she landed in the City of Angels, as planned, she quickly sent a message to her aunt, who was to welcome her to New York, to explain to her that she had missed her second flight. Then, on November 11, his loved ones began receiving worrying messages from his phone line. “Hackers stole my identity, took all my money, and have been driving me crazy since Friday,” she wrote to a friend. In another text message, she wrote: “I was tricked into giving away all my money, for someone I thought I loved.” To his aunt in New York Geordan Montalvo, Hannah explained, “I just finished an intense spiritual awakening.”
Her father, Ryan Kobayashi, then left Hawaii to look for his daughter in Los Angeles, scouring the city’s most sinister streets, where drugs and prostitution reign. In vain. Unable to cope, the man was later found dead in a parking lot with injuries to his body. On Monday, November 26, authorities confirmed that he likely committed suicide.

Going to Mexico?
While the Internet is passionate about this story and budding investigators conjure up all kinds of theories, the Los Angeles police revealed Monday at a press conference that Hannah Kobayashi was seen four days after her landing in Los Angeles, passing the border to go to Mexico. The young woman was filmed by Customs and Border Protection surveillance cameras. The 30-year-old crossed the southern border on foot on November 12 near Tijuana around 12:15 p.m. “She was alone, with her luggage and appeared unharmed,” said LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell during the press briefing broadcast by ABC 7 “At this point, Kobayashi’s case is classified as a voluntarily missing person. » Investigators also believe that she left her phone at some point after arriving at the airport on November 8.

But if Hannah left of her own accord, then we must look for the reason. Initially, the young woman’s aunt claimed to be certain that her niece was kidnapped, refusing to believe the conspiracy theories surrounding this affair. “This is bullshit. If Ryan read all this, imagine the weight on his shoulders,” she confided after the death of the missing woman’s father. For some, Hannah would have been brainwashed by a cult, would have been threatened by hackers, would have succumbed to the Twin Flames movement – concept from new-age spirituality according to which a person has a soul twin, the only one who could achieve supreme happiness – or would have been the victim of a psychological breakdown. Some even mentioned the possibility that his father was linked to the mafia, which, according to the aunt, would have greatly weakened him to the point that he committed suicide. “People expect more from this story than saying that the world is cruel and bad and that a woman traveling alone can be kidnapped in the blink of an eye,” she told the press.
Without giving further details, the agent McDonnell stressed Monday that there is currently no evidence that Hannah was the victim of sex trafficking or foul play after missing her connecting flight to New York. “Additionally, investigators noted that before leaving Maui, Kobayashi expressed a desire to move away from modern connectivity,” he said. “Our priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of Ms. Kobayashi and we urge Ms. Kobayashi to contact her family, law enforcement, or U.S. Embassy staff to let us know that she is safe,” he said. Police also reiterated reports that Hannah intentionally missed the connecting flight from Los Angeles to New York for unknown reasons, although her family disputes this.
