Hannah Kobayashi, the Hawaii woman who was reported missing in November, has finally returned to American soil after crossing the border into Mexico. According to sources, Hannah crossed back into California from Mexico over the weekend and was questioned by U.S. officials to ensure her well-being.
Reports indicate that Hannah appeared healthy and was not under any duress when she crossed the border. She was accompanied by her lawyer and left with him after entering the United States. This development comes after Hannah made contact with her family last week, prompting the LAPD to close their investigation into her disappearance.
The saga began when Hannah went missing after missing a connecting flight from LAX to New York. She was later spotted multiple times in L.A. before being captured on camera crossing into Mexico from California. During this time, Hannah’s father flew from Hawaii to L.A. in an attempt to find her. Tragically, he died from an apparent suicide after searching for her for nearly two weeks.
It is still unclear if Hannah is aware of her father’s death, but she has been in contact with her family and her attorney. LAPD has stated that they do not believe Hannah was a victim of trafficking or foul play, nor do they suspect her of criminal activity. However, it is worth noting that her attorney, and not her family, was present to greet her upon her return from Mexico.
The situation continues to unfold, and Hannah’s well-being remains a top priority. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
