After the first week of search efforts, Hannah Kobayashi’s family has only received one new detail to help them look for the missing Maui woman in Los Angeles.
Family members said that over the weekend, they learned of a new last-known location for Kobayashi.
The 31-year-old’s family confirmed on Monday that they saw footage of Kobayashi in downtown Los Angeles near the Pico Metro Station recorded on Nov. 11.
Her family says that in this footage, which has not been released to the public, Kobayashi is seen with someone else – and that she did not look well.
“She is not safe, and she is not alone,” said Kobayashi’s aunt, Larie Pidgeon, who traveled from Maui to try to find her niece.
Kobayashi is described as 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighing about 140 pounds and has brown hair and eyes, and fair skin with freckles.
In addition to the fear she carries for her missing niece, Pidgeon told KTLA’s Angeli Kakade that the search itself has been frightening.
“Someone tried to steal my husband’s phone from his hand,” said Pidgeon. “They were screaming, and there were people smoking crack.”
