Father Of Missing Woman Hannah Kobayashi Found Dead During Search For Her -- Absolutely Chilling

We have a perplexing new update in the case of missing woman Hannah Kobayashi.

On November 8, the 31-year-old set out on a trip from Hawaii to NYC to visit her aunt. Her flight had a stop in Los Angeles, and she never made it onto her connection which would have taken her to John F. Kennedy International Airport in the Big Apple. Simultaneously, Hannah had greatly concerned her family and friends after sending odd text messages in which she spoke about “deep hackers” wiping her “identity” and stealing “all of [her] funds.”

After sending the alarming messages, she was spotted on surveillance footage with a stranger at a Metro station in Los Angeles near the Crypto.com Arena — and that was the last time she was seen or heard from. Her family has since been speculating about what happened to the young woman, fearing she may have been abducted or trafficked. You can read more about the ongoing situation HERE.

Amid Hannah’s scary missing status, her father Ryan Kobayashi traveled to El Lay where his daughter was last seen to raise awareness and search for her:

But there’s now been a second tragic development.

On Sunday, multiple outlets cited police reports that Ryan was found dead in a parking lot at around 4:00 a.m. that morning. Wait… WTF?? How?? Why? As of now, no information regarding his cause of death has been revealed. But that’s just SO bizarre! This poor father was looking for his daughter who vanished under the strangest circumstances, and now he turns up dead? That just completely sends shivers down our spine.

A GoFundMe has since been set up by Ryan’s niece Emi Ko, who provided the following details:

“Ryan Kobayashi flew to Los Angeles immediately after learning of Hannah’s disappearance. Tragically, Ryan is no longer with us, leaving us all heartbroken and at a loss for words … Ryan was my uncle — a truly remarkable person who lit up every room with his positivity and kind heart. He has been living his absolute worst nightmare, since Hannah’s disappearance, and now, with his passing, our family is grappling with unimaginable grief. Ryan’s love for his family was boundless, and he would do anything to protect and care for his daughters.”

This is just so sad and SO tragic. You can hear more details (below):

Rest in peace, Ryan. Our hearts are with the Kobayashi family during this awful time.
