Missing Hannah Kobayashi Spotted Crossing US-Mexico Border -- Now Declared ‘Voluntary Missing Person’

perezhilton.com:

There’s been a major update in the case of missing woman Hannah Kobayashi. On Monday, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell revealed that after nearly a month of searching for the Hawaii resident, who was declared missing after failing to get on her connecting flight from LA to New York early last month, she’s no longer believed to be in immediate danger.

During a press conference, he revealed the 30-year-old was spotted crossing the US-Mexico border on foot on November 12 — one day after her loved ones last heard from her and is now considered a “voluntary missing person”: He added that for now, there is no evidence Hannah “is being trafficked or is the victim of foul play.” Apparently, the LAPD was even able to track down the mystery figure she was spotted with the last day anyone heard from her, and was able to confirm there was no wrongdoing on his end — though it’s not clear how they drew that conclusion.

He added: Because of said findings, McDonnell noted the missing person investigation will not longer continue: He added that if she returns to the US, law enforcement officials will be notified.

Lieutenant Douglas Oldfield revealed during the press conference that after examining Hannah’s social media accounts, there were “indications” she wanted to “disconnect.” He said: One of the major red flags that really still stands out is the odd text messages Hannah sent her loved ones
