Hannah Kobayashi’s family said they are investigating whether she was involved in a possible green card marriage scam, but stressed that nothing has been confirmed yet.

Police said Monday that Kobayashi, 30, of Hawaii, who was the focus of a missing person search in Los Angeles, entered Mexico intentionally and was classified as a “voluntary missing person.”

A Los Angeles Magazine report published Wednesday, citing sources, said she may have been involved in a green card marriage as part of an immigration scam before her disappearance.

The report said Kobayashi may have been cheated out of proceeds from the alleged scheme in which she married an Argentine man.

The source said the possible fraud was discovered by Kobayashi’s mother, who found immigration documents listing an immigration attorney at her daughter’s home in Hawaii.

The Los Angeles Magazine report said the FBI was investigating the possible marriage scam. NBC News has not verified the report. The FBI’s Los Angeles field office said it was assisting in the Kobayashi case but deferred comment to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Sara Azari, an attorney for the Kobayashi family, shared a statement on behalf of the family on Wednesday that said, “We would like to emphasize that the family has not publicly disclosed any information regarding an alleged marriage because the facts or the “The documents required to verify the legitimacy of this information were missing.”

“The family has not confirmed the authenticity of the images nor the accuracy of the information provided about a possible secret marriage. “This is one of many leads we are actively investigating with the help of our legal and investigative team,” the statement said, adding that the family shared all the information they had with law enforcement.

The family urged the public “not to jump to conclusions or spread unconfirmed claims.”

“It is particularly important not to perpetuate speculation that anyone is involved in a scam, as this will only hinder our efforts to find Hannah and provide clarity and closure to the nightmare we find ourselves in as a result of her disappearance “, says the statement.

“We remain focused on reviewing the details and leads we have received and ask for your understanding and patience as we continue our investigation,” the family said, thanking the public for their support and those involved in the search Persons.

Concern for Kobayashi began on Nov. 8, the day she landed at Los Angeles International Airport from Honolulu and planned to take a connecting flight to New York City. She missed her connecting flight and relatives said she used the time sightseeing in Los Angeles.

The following day and the next, she went to The Grove shopping center, about 12 miles north of the Los Angeles airport, returning to the airport each time, according to a timeline Sydni shared on the personal Facebook page “Help Us Find Hannah.” posted by Kobayashi, her sister.

On November 11, she was seen talking to a ticket agent at the airport. Later that day, accompanied by an unidentified man, she boarded a subway train to South Los Angeles and then to downtown Los Angeles, police said. Family members said she sent messages that day that worried them because their content and voice did not match hers.

“Hannah’s last message to us was alarming – she mentioned that she was scared and that someone might try to steal her money and identity,” Kobayashi’s aunt Larie Pidgeon said on Facebook.

On November 12, she was spotted alone at a Greyhound bus stop in downtown Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said Monday that she was reported missing on Nov. 13 and police took over the case on Nov. 15.

Police said Monday they reviewed U.S. Customs and Border Protection video showing Kobayashi crossing into Mexico on foot at a land port in San Diego on Nov. 12 and concluded she went missing voluntarily.

McDonnell said there was no evidence that Kobayashi was a victim of human trafficking or crime. Police said at a news conference that investigators had reviewed her social media accounts, leading them to believe she “wanted to disconnect.”

Kobayashi’s relatives had gathered in Los Angeles to search for her, and her father, Ryan Kobayashi, 58, died by suicide near the airport on November 24. The Los Angeles County coroner said he died as a result of multiple traumatic blunt force injuries.

“I’m very sorry to the family for everything they’ve been through,” McDonnell said Monday.

When asked to comment on the possible marriage and the family’s concerns, Los Angeles police described Monday’s news conference as the final update they would provide.

Sydni Kobayashi said the family was unhappy with the police’s findings.

“We’re just as confused and just as frustrated right now as everything else,” Sydni Kobayashi said on NBC News NOW’s “Top Story With Tom Llamas” Tuesday.

She asked her sister to contact the family.

“I cannot emphasize enough how much you are loved and supported,” she said. “We are very worried about you. No matter what situation you find yourself in, you always have a home to find your way to.”

Azari said the family will send volunteers to search for Hannah in Mexico.
