A Hawaii woman who vanished in California last month has reportedly been found safe.
TMZ reported that a family member spoke with Hannah Kobayashi on Thursday. Kobayashi is believed to have voluntarily gone to Mexico on November 12, after missing a New York-bound flight at Los Angeles International Airport in early November.

About two weeks after Kobayashi vanished, her father reportedly jumped from a parking deck at the same airport while looking for her. His death was ruled a suicide.
Since then, Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said Kobayashi intentionally missed her flight. Officials also stated that they do not believe she was the victim of foul play.
Kobayashi’s family became concerned when they got peculiar texts from her claiming someone was trying to steal her money and identity. They also disputed claims that she left on her own accord as police deemed her a voluntary missing person.
In light of the latest development, Los Angeles police issued the following statement to TMZ:
“We are happy to learn that Hannah has been found safe. Now that we have this new information, this has become a private matter and we will wrap up our investigation.”
