Hannah Kobayashi went missing three weeks ago during a layover at Los Angeles International Airport.
She was scheduled to board a connecting flight to New York but vanished unexpectedly.
Before her disappearance, Hannah sent concerning messages to her loved ones.
Surveillance footage later confirmed she was seen near the US-Mexico border shortly after she went missing.

Hannah's father, Ryan Kobayashi, tragically took his own life amid the ongoing search for her.
This devastating event has heightened tensions within the family over the handling of funds raised to find Hannah.

A total of $50,000 has been raised online to assist in the search for Hannah, sparking discord among her relatives.
Hannah’s sister, Sydni, publicly criticized their aunt, Larie Pidgeon, who was acting as an unofficial spokesperson.
Sydni accused Larie of not representing the family’s wishes and "going rogue" regarding media appearances.
Larie defended herself, claiming that the family is fighting for attention rather than focusing on finding Hannah.

Los Angeles police are investigating whether Hannah's missed flight was intentional.
Efforts continue to gather further evidence to locate Hannah, as concern grows for her wellbeing.
