Volunteers join a search for a woman from Hawaii missing in LA for weeks as her father is found dead

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Volunteers have joined a search for Hannah Kobayashi, a 30-year-old woman from Hawaii who went missing in Los Angeles more than two weeks ago after not making a connecting flight to New York. Kobayashi, a budding photographer from Maui, was heading to New York City on Nov. 8 for a new job and to visit relatives. Kobayashi’s aunt says that on Nov. 11, her family received alarming text messages from Hannah’s phone that referred to her being “intercepted” as she got on a Metro train. She hasn’t been heard from since. Authorities said Monday that her father, Ryan Kobyashi, who had been in the search party, was found dead in a parking lot near LA International Airport by apparent suicide.
