[Mr.Unique]

This is just weird. I'm waiting for the rest of the story.

[FrdmLvr]

Jumped or was pushed?

[HighSierra5]

He also stabbed himself in the back nine times.

[ZULU]

Yep. TREN DE ARAGUA??

[unlearner]

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Keyser Soze or Verbal Kent?

[ducttape45]

That makes no sense

[CivilWarBrewing]

Have they sent cadaver dogs around all the cars in the long term parking area at LAX?

Otherwise, she had a psychotic break and is on the run.

Reminds me of the Asian girl who was found dead inside an old water tank atop a hotel in downtown L.A.

[Meet the New Boss]

Bring in James T. Kirk to solve the Kobayashi conundrum.

[Sarah Barracuda]

This entire story never passed the smell test and the father offing himself even before he knows what happened to his daughter tells me he might have been involved in it

[Thank You Rush]

Exactly - The Usual Suspects - great movie!

[CivilWarBrewing]

Could be, but he probably saw the throngs of people milling about that crowded place and thought to himself, “I’ll never find her in this cesspool of people (and splat)”

[RckyRaCoCo]

Unbelievable...sign of our times.

[Rummyfan]

Something very fishy here… she disappeared within LAX? Coming from Hawaii she should not even have to change terminals. And the father ‘commits suicide’? Stinks to high heaven.

She missed her connecting flight and had time to kill and left the airport. She was seen on camera at The Grove, and also somewhere else (I don’t remember where) with a man and it’s said she looked unwell. There were also disturbing text messages sent from her phone. Very odd and creepy.

[Rummyfan]

Oh…. Very sad. It does not bode well for her.

[Rummyfan]

I worry about my daughters whenever they travel. They’re pretty savvy and experienced but still…. Predators out there.

[Kathy in OC]

I guess it’s not unusual for a seasoned traveler, as they say she was, to leave the airport during a long layover. The Grove is a nice safe place, and I went back and looked, and the other place she was seen was Crypto Arena. The Crypto Arena is where the Lakers, Kings and Clippers play and it’s very busy there and I never think of it as unsafe. It’s also very close to the airport. I wonder if we’ll ever find out what happened. Sad.

[Fireone]

We were taught as kids “never talk to strangers”.

[Mr.Unique]

Stinks to high heaven.

Yep
