Maui woman reported missing while traveling, family seeks help finding her
Loved ones of Ha'iku resident Hannah Kobayashi are trying tirelessly to find her after she reportedly disappeared while traveling to the mainland."We're just trying to not be paralyzed, in a way, not think of the worst," Kobayashi's aunt Larie Pidgeon said.
The 30-year-old was reportedly last seen at the Los Angeles International Airport nearly a week ago.
Pidgeon said Kobayashi had a layover in Los Angeles last Friday on her way to New York for a concert and a photography job, as well as to visit Pidgeon’s sister.
A friend of Kobayashi’s just so happened to be traveling on the same flights as her, Pidgeon added, and last saw her at LAX.
But then Kobayashi missed the flight to New York, which was one of the last of the night.
"That's when everything started getting fuzzy and we're starting to lose contact with her," Pidgeon explained.
A screenshot of messages Pidgeon said Kobayashi sent to the aunt in New York mentioned, "I just finished a very intense spiritual awakening."
Another text apologized for "craziness," adding afterward "was definitely intercepted."
According to Pidgeon, Kobayashi's last text was sent on the same day to her roommate, in which she mentions feeling scared, and that someone might be trying to steal her money and identity.
Since then, relatives have been having trouble getting in touch with her, and her phone appears to be unreachable.
"It (Kobayashi's phone) was pinging in the LAX airport and it no longer... it goes straight to voicemail," Pidgeon said.
"It didn't move from LAX airport so that is where we know that she last was."
