When you get to know someone well, you can see past their outward appearance and superficial characteristics. Beyond their appearance, voice, and personal preferences, there is more to know. You get a sense of their soul and their essence.

The depth of the knowledge allows you to anticipate not just what someone will say, but also how they will say it. The last text messages that a Hawaiian family received from Hannah Kobayashi, who recently vanished after failing to board a subsequent aircraft in Los Angeles, are the basis for their extreme worry.

From LittleThings, more: Following her father’s passing, a woman texts him, and he receives a reply via his phone.

According to People, Hannah was on her way from Hawaii to New York City as a budding photographer. However, her family thinks she never got there. It has been alleged that Hannah did not board her subsequent flight during her layover in Los Angeles. Rather, she sent frightening texts to her family before she appeared to disappear.

on an effort to locate the 30-year-old, Hannah’s aunt, Larie Pidgeon, posted an explanation of the circumstances on a Facebook group. “Hannah’s last message to us was concerning — she expressed fear and the possibility that someone was attempting to steal her identity and money,” Pidgeon wrote on November 14, 2024. “We are extremely concerned for her safety as she has not been contacted since.”

Hannah fled her Maui home on November 8, according to KHON. November 9 was her scheduled arrival date in New York City. Hannah last sent a message on November 11.

The texts didn’t seem to have been written in Hannah’s voice, according to Pidgeon. Pidgeon told KHNL of Honolulu, “She said that she was afraid that someone was stealing her identity.” “I was essentially duped into giving away all of my money for someone I believed I loved,” said another text.

According to one of the messages, Hannah was afraid and unable to return home, Sydni Kobayashi, Hannah’s sister, told HawaiiNewsNow. “The texts were just really strange,” Sydni remarked. Something about it seems strange, and it doesn’t sound like her. I was therefore unsure. I’m not sure whether it was her or if someone else texted.

Hannah’s aunt, Geordan Montalvo, made multiple phone calls to her. After her phone pinging at LAX at 4 p.m., Montalvo continued attempting to reach her before it went dead. She claimed that “her phone died and her communication stopped entirely.”

Security footage, according to one member of the Facebook group, showed Hannah and another individual on November 11 in the vicinity of Pico Boulevard and Hill Street in downtown Los Angeles.

Hannah’s identity was later verified by the family, according to KTLA. Hannah’s family claims that she doesn’t appear well on the unreleased surveillance film. “She’s not alone, and she’s not safe,” Pidgeon stated.

 

Pidgeon has gone to Los Angeles with other family members in an attempt to find Hannah. The family has been conducting a search by posting flyers. As they continue their hunt, they have also set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for lodging and other costs. Hannah’s family is determined to keep her name public.

“The longer her name is out there, the more relevant she stays,” Pidgeon stated, adding that if they could print fliers and assist us with the legwork, they could keep her name out there.

Hannah is still listed as missing by the Los Angeles Police Department, but the public is not being given access to the investigation’s specifics. Please contact Larie Pidgeon at 845-750-3006 if you have any information regarding Hannah, according to the family.
