    National search for Hannah Kobayashi, the Hawaii woman who went missing after flying into LA a few weeks ago.

    Her family and friends started a FB page and posted shocking news an hour ago, but not about Hannah.

    UPDATE:

    The family of Hannah Kobayashi is urgently pleading with the public to maintain focus on the search for her. Hannah IS still actively missing and is believed to be in imminent danger. It is crucial for everyone to remain vigilant in their efforts to locate Hannah.

    The Kobayashi family endured a devastating tragedy today. After tirelessly searching throughout Los Angeles for 13 days, Hannah’s father, Ryan Kobayashi, tragically took his own life. This loss has compounded the family's suffering immeasurably.

    What the family needs most in this difficult time is for all communities to rally around them with support, compassion, and prayers. Please be considerate with your comments and posts. The trauma they are enduring is profound, and they now face the additional burden of grieving the loss of their family's pillar and navigating next steps.

    We kindly ask that you respect the family's privacy during this period. Please refrain from contacting any family members, regardless of any previous connections you may have had. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated. Allow them the space to grieve and process this significant loss.

    Again, it is the family wish that the public keep the focus on locating and recovering Hannah safely.

    If you see Hannah, please call 911 immediately. Please obtain a photograph if possible. Your prompt action is crucial. If you’re able to safely keep eyes on her until law enforcement arrives, please do so.

    In accordance with the family's wishes, all information, tips and media inquiries are to be directed via text to (619) 904-0840 or emailed to radthemovement@gmail.com.
    Thank you for your understanding.

    Not to be crass, but shouldn't one send tips about a missing person to the police rather than an email to "radthemovement"?

    She was last seen driving this guy away from a police station.
    And just like that ... she was gone.

    I assume the green card scam means she marries, they come back, he gets a green card, and she gets money. That would mean her intent is to come back with a sham husband, no?

    That frigging family has a lot of nerve, blaming the police department after they sniffed out that Hannah was batshit crazy, or in on a scam.

    They had both a go fund me, and a venmo request. Someone made out like a bandit.

    I'm not going to immediately blame the family since it's more likely that they were just as in the dark as you and me.

    I can imagine (thankfully I do not think my boys would ever do this or put my wife and me in this predicament) being a parent, not knowing where my kid(s) are, having them go radio silent and having no idea. Of course I'd think that foul play was involved, not that it was some part of a scam.

    Mom knew about the scam marriage before Hannah left.
    Hannah Kobayashi's mother found documents connected to her daughter's marriage to an Argentinian man shortly before her bizarre disappearance in Los Angeles
