Police say a Hawaii woman disappeared voluntarily and traveled to Mexico
A 30-year-old Hawaii lady at the focal point of a missing individual hunt in Los Angeles tenaciously crossed into Mexico, apparently as a component of her longing to "detach," police said Monday.
The case including Hannah Kobayashi, of Maui, has been renamed as one including a "intentional missing individual," however it will be kept open until police are guaranteed she's protected, Los Angeles Police Boss Jim McDonnell said at a news gathering Monday night.
McDonnell added that there's no proof Kobayashi is the casualty of illegal exploitation or treachery.
Lt. Douglas Oldfield, of the police division's Missing People Unit, said at the news gathering that investigators surveyed Kobayashi's web-based entertainment accounts, which persuaded them to think she "needed to detach."
"By taking a gander at her past online entertainment, we then saw signs that there were a few cravings or posts that would be predictable in someone who might want to detach from their telephone," he said.
He said that analysts can't say they're "100 percent right" about their assurance yet that they realize she didn't have her telephone after she left Los Angeles Global Air terminal.
The news meeting was held after NBC Los Angeles revealed relatives were shocked when McDonnell told the Los Angeles Police Commission last week that Kobayashi deliberately missed a corresponding flight to New York City subsequent to having arrived in Los Angeles on Nov. 8.
On Monday, McDonnell said Kobayashi had her baggage rerouted from New York City back to Los Angeles, where she got it on Nov. 11.
That failed to catch plane put her in Los Angeles, where she moved away from relatives, igniting concern and in the long run provoking them to report her missing to the Los Angeles Global Air terminal Police Office and the FBI, they have said.
Security video showing Kobayashi with an obscure man in Los Angeles ignited more apprehension, as did instant messages in which Kobayashi said somebody was attempting to take from her, relatives said in interviews the month before.
Police said Monday that the man found in security video with Kobayashi in Los Angeles was found and helped out examiners, who finished up there was no bad behavior.
Relatives additionally communicated alarm on the grounds that McDonnell, in his standard report to the police commission, misquoted Kobayashi's age as 23, as per NBC Los Angeles. They said he got the date she was accounted for missing incorrectly, also, the station revealed.
