Reminds me of that Netflix documentary a couple of years ago where the Canadian girl with mental health issues went missing at the sketchy LA hotel and online detectives went nuts dissecting security cam footage trying to figure out what happened to her… turns out she had a psychotic break and drowned herself in the water tanks on the roof. This story with the obviously unstable father has similar vibes.

truly, one of the worst, sloppiest true crime docs I've ever seen.

Hannah Kobayashi, the Hawaii woman who’s been missing for more than three weeks after arriving in Los Angeles on a flight from Maui, has been declared a voluntary missing person, Los Angeles police said Monday.

“As the family is aware, late yesterday after traveling to the US-Mexico border we reviewed video surveillance from US Customs and Border Protection which clearly shows Kobayashi crossing United States border on foot into Mexico,” Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said Monday in a news conference.

“She was alone, with her luggage, and appeared unharmed,” McDonnell added. 

Damn, your dad jumped off a building over you, sweetie.

What a turn.  Did he do something she's complicit in? Did he do something with consequences of which she can only avoid by fleeing? Did she do something he knew about and couldn't live with that knowledge?

I dunno, I think it’s more likely he jumped off the building because of something he did. Weird series of events, in any case.

I figured he thought he maybe had a fight with her or tried to keep her from doing something or didn't support her, and she had disappeared before he could apologize/patch things up, he felt guilty that he'd never see her again (maybe their last conversation ended angrily) and had a few mental health issues that kicked things up a notch to suicide.

She joined a cult. Supposedly her last few insta follows were all connected to this cult called Twin Flames that already has a documentary about it. Her sister took down the Find Hannah fb page and posted that she (the sister) is now receiving death threats. Sounds like a new documentary

Sad for her family, but this makes more sense than just about anything.

Another major twist in the ‘disappearance’ of Hannah Kobayashi, the 30-year-old photographer from Hawaii whose father allegedly took his own life after a fruitless search for his daughter, has apparently drawn in the FBI after her mother discovered that she may have engaged in a secret marriage for money.

New information about Kobayashi's ties to a a possible immigration scam comes a day after LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell announces his investigators tracked Kobayashi to the border where she crossed into Mexico on Nov. 12, four day after her arrival at LAX. 

Sources tell Los Angeles that Kobayashi was apparently scammed out of the proceeds of a purported immigration scheme possibly concocted by her former partner, who left Maui with Kobayashi on Nov. 8 and landed at LAX with plans to catch a connecting flight to New York City. Also on the plane, sources say, was Kobayashi’s new husband, Alan Cacace, an Argentinian man whose own girlfriend, Marianna, was reportedly on the flight with Kobayashi’s ex.

The possible visa scam was uncovered, sources told Los Angeles, by Kobayashi’s mother, who discovered immigration documents in her daughter's home in Hawaii that listed an immigration attorney. "That attorney was not cooperative with the mom," one source close to the investigation said. Her mother then turned the documents over to the FBI and LAPD, the source said. 

On Wednesday night her family released a statement saying they have not verified the marriage, or photos of the marriage posted by her alleged groom on his social media that has since been removed. They also confirmed that what Kobayashi's mom found was "turned over the alleged information to law enforcement immediately upon receipt," in the statement through their Los Angeles attorney Sara Azari.

This seems like a really bad chick. Into some bad shit. So she married an Argentinian who paid her ex BF money to get him citizenship here, then during the trip decided to flee to Mexico?

Honestly..you know...kinda hot
