KAHULUI (HawaiiNewsNow) – The Los Angeles Police Department confirms it is investigating a Maui woman’s disappearance.
A newly obtained security camera photo is the latest piece of evidence in the search for Hannah Kobayashi who disappeared in Los Angeles. The picture shows the 30-year-old from Haiku at LAX last Friday where she missed a connecting flight to New York City.
Her father is now in LA searching for her.
The family has also filed a report with the FBI.
“We’re just trying to get us as much information as we can,” said Hannah’s father Ryan Kobayashi. “Want to get the word out… has anyone seen my daughter?”
Hannah’s family says her ex-boyfriend was also on that flight from Maui to LAX because they booked it before they broke up.
But they said he told them they did not sit together and did not have contact on the flight.
Her family said he made the connecting flight to New York City and said he has been extremely responsive and cooperative with the investigation.
“A lot of worrying, a lot of confusion. Everything is just a blur it seems because I haven’t slept well since I’ve heard the news, and I really don’t know … it’s just really concerning,” Ryan said.
Another piece of evidence is a short YouTube video that shows Hannah outside of an event in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The last pinned location the family has on her phone shows her back at LAX on Monday.
Hannah also sent a text message to a friend saying, “I got tricked pretty much into giving away all my funds for someone I thought I loved.”
Another text said that she was scared.
“There’s a lot of people looking for you Hannah. So, if you get this, if you see anything, just go to the police, go to anybody. There’s a lot of people out there that care and love you, Hannah. If you can just get to somebody, whatever you can do … just let us know that you’re OK,” said Ryan.
If you have any tips, call the family at (845) 750-3006.
