Hannah Kobayashi, the Maui woman deemed "voluntarily missing" by the Los Angeles Police Department after she vanished last month and crossed the border to Mexico, has been found safe, her family announced Wednesday.
"We are incredibly relieved and grateful that Hannah has been found safe," Kobayashi's family said in a statement. "This past month has been an unimaginable ordeal for our family, and we kindly ask for privacy as we take the time to heal and process everything we have been through."
Kobayashi disappeared after missing her Nov. 8 connecting flight to New York at the Los Angeles International Airport, according to her family. She was reported missing after her family said she sent them cryptic text messages suggesting that her identity and money had been stolen.
Kobayashi's disappearance spawned a weeks-long search that culminated in the LAPD classifying her as a “voluntary missing person," saying there was no evidence of criminal activity and video showed her crossing the border into Mexico. LAPD also said they didn't believe Kobayashi was a victim of trafficking or foul play.
On Nov. 12, the 30-year-old was seen using her passport and cash to get a bus ticket to Union Station in order to reach the San Ysidro border crossing, where she crossed into Mexico through a tunnel, officials said.

Of course, anyone can leave any time..but the reason why this became a “Case” is because of the weird texts she sent her family basically saying that someone she met here stole all her money then BAM, no more texts so the family contacted police thinking someone took her thats how this all started..now if she had just said “Im going to Mexico to live my life, F you all adios” than no one would have cared she is free to do so
How do you come to that conclusion? She could have notified her family, unless she wanted her father to commit suicide.
Lt. Saavik?
I recall an Asian girl who disappeared while on a trip a few weeks back. The family went looking for her, couldn’t find her, and I think the dad committed suicide.
I wonder if this is that missing girl.
I was joking…making a reference to Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. Kobiashi was in the film
So she disappears, the family sets up a Gofundme, make a bunch of money and then she’s found.
I think the Mafia used to call this a “score”.
You have a better memory than I. 🤣
This girl is Hawaiian, not Asian.
That seems fair.
Waited to the last paragraph to mention that her father killed himself while searching for her. She is partial responsible for his death.
Kristie Alley as Savik yum yum yum
Star Trek reference. James T Kirk was the only Star Fleet officer to every pass the academy test.
Why do Kamikaze Pilots wear helmets ?
Her and that united Healthcare guy...much more important then the rest of us deserving of constant media attention.
