Authorities in Los Angeles said that the father of a missing Hawaii woman took his own life Sunday at LA International Airport, the location where she was last seen earlier this month.
Hannah Kobayashi’s dad fell to his death from a parking deck at the airport on Sunday, police said.
His 30-year-old daughter vanished two weeks earlier after missing a connecting New York-bound flight.
Witnesses reported seeing her at the airport three days after she missed the flight. She was reportedly getting on a train with an unknown person.
Hannah sent her family a text that read, “I think someone’s trying to steal my identity. I’m really scared,” before she disappeared.
“The Kobayashi family endured a devastating tragedy today. After tirelessly searching throughout Los Angeles for 13 days, Hannah’s father, Ryan Kobayashi, tragically took his own life,” a statement from a non-profit working with the family read.
“This loss has compounded the family’s suffering immeasurably.”
