🚨UPDATE🚨

🆘MISSING AT RISK ADULT 🆘

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to everyone that continues to search for HANNAH KOBAYASHI, who does remain actively missing.

HANNAH, a resident of Maui, went missing in LOS ANGELES, CA after missing her connecting flight to JFK on November 8, 2024.

We have acquired video surveillance capturing Hannah's activities in the vicinity of Pico Station by Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA. In the footage, it is evident that Hannah does not appear to be in good condition and she is not alone. Due to the ongoing and active nature of this investigation, we are unable to share any further details at this time.

The family earnestly pleads with the public to persist in their efforts to locate Hannah. While searching throughout the Los Angeles area, please focus particularly on the vicinity of the Pico Station by Crypto.com Arena, and remain vigilant while using the metro anywhere in the city of Los Angeles.

If you have any information surrounding Hannah’s whereabouts, or you encounter Hannah, please contact 911 immediately. If possible, please keep eyes on her until law-enforcement arrives. Do not approach her.

If you experience any delays, it does happen, the family is requesting that you contact The RAD Movement, who is in direct contact with the Detective, at 619-904-0840 at any time by text or call.

**As you can imagine, the family is experiencing a significant amount of pain and remains in active crisis. Please post only positive thoughts, factual information sightings, interactions, etc. Please do not post to speculations and theories. It is wearing on the family. Thank you.

One of the biggest challenges with a missing person search effort is creating awareness that the person is missing.

Unless people are first aware that HANNAH KOBAYASHI is missing, they won't realize they might have witnessed something substantial or have captured it on their home/business cameras.

In the absence of an Amber or Silver Alert, social media and mainstream media are the quickest way to share missing person information.

Cathy FOUND SAFE !!!

UP to DATE Information from Cathy's Family
Cathy is reunited with her son Derek, she was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Here is what we know... Apparently the car that Cathy has been driving ran out of gas in the Angeles National Forrest near to a campground (by Lake Hughes.) This morning a person searching for firewood ran into Cathy who had fallen down a few hundred feet from her car down an embankment . The person approached Cathy to aid her. After a conversation, the person asked Cathy if she had any contact numbers. Cathy remembered she had a paper in her purse with her cousin's telephone number... The cousin was contacted who relayed info to others. Derek was given the phone number of the person who stumbled upon Cathy. Derek was given a location and confirmation Cathy was OK. Obviously dehydrated, hungry and fatigued... May have twisted her ankle when falling down the embankment. Turns out Cathy could not get up and spent the last few days lying on the ground.. As a result of being in the elements , Cathy suffered extreme sunburn. Cathy (along with Derek) were taken to Henry Mayo Hospital Newhall in Santa Clarita to be checked out. Cathy has been cleared and is being transfered to the Kaiser in PanoramaCity. Cathy is in good spirits (she asked for a glaze donut and was happy when they brought her one.) Not sure how long she will be at Kaiser. Thank you everyone for your concern and support during this ordeal. Thank goodness for a POSITIVE outcome. Your thoughts and prayers where answered...

Cathy smiling for the camera
Cathy wants everyone to know she is ok and thanks everyone for the concern, thoughts and prayers. Cathy is smiling in this picture , but when you spend a few days in the elements with no cover, you will get a little "beat up." Considering what she just went through, she looks in not so bad shape...

Many people turn to Social Media to search for loved ones.  We can help by "sharing" posts... 

Finding the missing is like finding a needle in a haystack.  We can hope, pray and continue to share "missing person" posts.
