Hannah Kobayashi’s disappearance remains a mystery as her family and friends desperately search for answers piecing together what happened to her and what may have led to her radio silence.
More than three weeks after Hannah Kobayashi’s disappearance and pleas for information from her family, Los Angeles police have said they’ve declared the 30-year-old a voluntary missing person after video surveillance revealed she entered Mexico on foot at a border point of entry. The Hawaii native traveled from Maui to Los Angeles on November 8, with plans to catch a connecting flight to New York City the same day, but she did not board the flight, her sister Sydni Kobayashi said. Described as an artistic and creative soul, Hannah Kobayashi was headed to New York where she planned to take pictures at a DJ’s mid-November show in Brooklyn. Her family has described the days following her disappearance as filled with troubling signs, including unusual financial transactions and multiple sightings. Los Angeles police have said investigators determined Kobayashi intentionally missed her flight to New York and she kept in contact with family and was active on Instagram over the next few days. But in social media posts made prior to leaving Maui, Kobayashi suggested having a strong desire to detach from modern connectivity, police said in early December.
