Hawaii Photographer's Mysterious Disappearance Investigated in Los Angeles

Hannah Kobayashi's family reports cryptic texts, suspicious payments, and tragic loss of her father during the search.

Hannah Kobayashi, 30, vanished after missing her connecting flight in Los Angeles on November 8, en route to New York for a photography assignment.
Her family received unsettling text messages from her phone on November 11, which they believe were uncharacteristic and possibly sent by someone else.
Police are investigating two suspicious Venmo payments Kobayashi made on November 9 to a man and a woman, reportedly for a tarot reading.
Surveillance footage shows Kobayashi in downtown Los Angeles with an unidentified individual before her phone was turned off and communication ceased.
The search has been overshadowed by the death of her father, Ryan Kobayashi, who died by suicide after tirelessly searching for his missing daughter.
