With cryptic texts, a missed flight and the death of a father, Hannah Kobayashi’s case has kept online detectives on edge, fueled conspiracy theories and police on their toes.

Now the Hawaiian woman who disappeared after landing in Los Angeles three weeks ago has been seen crossing to Mexico alone with her luggage and is no longer missing.

According to police, the 30-year-old from Maui wanted to go off the grid the day after her family reported her missing and went into the tunnel that led to Mexico.

There was no evidence that Ms. Kobayashi was a victim of human trafficking or the victim of a crime, officials said, citing U.S. Customs and Border Protection surveillance footage they reviewed late Sunday.

Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said Ms. Kobayashi appeared to be uninjured and the case had now been classified as a voluntary missing person.

“We basically did everything we could do at that point. She left the country and is now in another country,” he said, adding that law enforcement would be notified if she returned to the United States.

Chief McDonnell said Ms. Kobayashi had a right to privacy but urged her to contact her family or law enforcement officials.

“A simple message could reassure those who care,” he said.

He explained that their case will continue until their safety is confirmed by police officials.

Father was found dead during search

The aspiring photographer went missing after she failed to make a connecting flight to New York on November 8th. She traveled there to take a new job and visit relatives.

According to her aunt, Larie Pidgeon, family members assumed she was ready for another flight.

However, on November 11, the family received “strange and cryptic” and “just alarming” text messages from her phone indicating that she had been “intercepted” while boarding a subway train and was afraid that someone could steal her identity, her, said aunt.

“When the family started pushing, they went dark,” Ms. Pidgeon told The Associated Press on Saturday.

After the text messages, Ms. Kobayashi’s phone “just died,” according to Ms. Pidgeon, sparking a weeks-long search in LA led by family and friends, including her father, Ryan Kobayashi.

More than two weeks after the search began, Hannah’s father was found dead in a parking lot near LA International Airport of an apparent suicide, police and her family said.

Chief McDonnell said during a Police Commission meeting last Tuesday that investigators concluded Ms. Kobayashi intentionally missed her connecting flight.

Ms. Kobayashi’s sister, Sydni Kobayashi, disputed his statement in a social media post.

Police said Monday that Hannah Kobayashi requested that her New York checked luggage be returned to LAX after she was seen at various locations in LA.

According to police, she then returned to the airport to pick it up on November 11 and did not have her phone with her when she left.

Investigators found that she had “expressed a desire to move away from modern connectivity.”

Police also identified and questioned a man with whom Ms. Kobayashi was seen on the subway.

He was “cooperative” and said he met her at LAX, police said.

During the press conference, Chief McDonnell reflected on what Ms. Kobayashi’s family has been through in recent weeks.

“I ask anyone who is thinking about this to do this: think about the people you leave behind, your loved ones who will be very worried about you,” he said.
