DEEP DIVING DYNAMICS OF MISSING #HannahKobashi, and the

suicide of her father, Ryan Kobashi

______________________________________________- 

BACKGROUND/TIMELINE OF EVENTS

    Hannah Kobashi, a 30-year-old-Hawaiian woman who

disappeared after missing a connecting flight to New York City,

from Los Angeles (LAX). The following is the most accurate

time line of events as supported by digital forms of evidence:

November 8, 2024: Hannah misses connecting flight to NYC;

tells family that she will spend night at airport on stand by status.

November 9, 2024: The next day, Hannah texted family to say

she was "sight seeing around L.A." Hannah also told her family

she planned to visit the Grove Shopping Center.

November 10, 2024: Kobashi  posted to Instagram from a local

NIKE event in L.A.

November 11, 2024: Hannah returned to LAX airport and spoke

with a ticketing agent in the early evening but never purchased

a ticket that would get her to NYC.

  The same day, Hannah's family received several, what they call,

"strange text messages"/updates from Hannah's phone. Texts

like, "I got hacked, stripped of my identity, and can't fly."

   "I got tricked out of all my my money by someone I love."

Also on the this same date, Hannah's phone went dead/ was

turned off/drained battery. The family hasn't had any further 

contact via text or phone since this date.

November 20, 2024: Officially, Hannah is reported missing by

family.

November 21, 2024: Hannah's family members, who had flown

into California to assist in the search, organized a search with

themselves and the public at The Rally Crypto Center in L.A.

November 24th, 2024: Hannah's father was found dead in

parking lot in downtown Los Angeles; near to LAX. He took his

life, via suicide, by jumping off the top level of a 7-story

parking garage.

SO MANY QUESTIONS/OBSERVATIONS

 1. Why would Ryan Kobayashi choose to take his life NOW? All

indications, from the day before, in given interviews, he spoke

of holding hard to hope. He surely knew how his actions would

compound his family's emotional pain. Why would he opt to

further inflict pain knowingly amongst his family's current

emotional fragility.

2. Observation: ex-boyfriend, whom she flew from Hawaii, to

LAX on the same plane, made the connecting flight to NYC.

Hannah, however, did not.

3. At least 4 separate and confirmed sightings of Hannah around

Los Angeles.

4. DIGITAL EVIDENCE will likely yield the most clues in terms

of state of mind, and baseline behavior, of both Hannah, and her

father, Ryan. Does the SUICIDE, or HOW DOES THE SUICIDE

change the approach to investigation? What other family dynamics

should be considered to get the broadest picture?

5. It was common knowledge that Hannah and her father had an

estranged relationship. The family states that the father, Ryan,

had been working on mending his relationship with Hannah, and

that she was receptive to it.

6. How does THIS FAMILY handle trauma and respond to trauma?

Was this estrangement, turned self-guilt and remorse, and 

helplessness leading to Ryan's mental decline into suicidal ideation

7. Track down any KNOWABLE internal conflicts either with

Hannah, Hannah and her father, or just her father. Or, all of the

above.

8. What is the psychiatric history of this family? Could Hannah

have had a psychotic break? At age 30, she'd be in the 

demographical make-up of, age-wise, falls into the typical age

of onset of psychosis, pathology, and breaks from reality.

9. Do we know, for certain, that the texts the family received,

were written by Hannah herself?

10.What family dynamics are we unaware of?

11. Do either Hannah or her father Ryan have any previous history

of substance abuse? Were any of them taking prescription 

medications, for psychiatric impairments, at time of death.

(check toxicology).

12. The family's struggle to locate Hannah in Los Angeles is

exaggerated by the size of Los Angeles, as well as the # of

detectives who work missing persons, in that large area, is

very minimal. They have to triage missing person cases for

priority.

13. Another complicating factor is the L.A. by nature is a VERY

transient place; people always coming and going out of the city.

14. Police need to retrieve all evidence that can be gathered by

Ryan Kobashi's cell phone.

15. Was his suicide captured on surveillance video?

16. Use what is called the "PHONE ID #." The FBI can readily

use this technology and access it. It doesn't "ping" in real time,

but with a about a 36 hour delay, but in doing so, they can

pinpoint a target with extreme accuracy of position. Regardless

of whether the phone itself is physically turned on or not
