Hannah’s Father Is Found Dead
Ryan Kobayashi, who was in town from Maui to look for Hannah, jumped to his death from a parking structure near LAX on the morning of Nov. 24, according to police, who responded to a report of a deceased male at the 6100 block of Century Boulevard at 4 a.m.
The L.A. County Medical Examiner’s report stated that Ryan suffered multiple blunt force traumatic injuries and the manner of death was suicide.
“It’s every parent’s nightmare,” Ryan told NBC4 at the Nov. 21 rally. “We don’t know where to start, where to begin. It’s like a grain of sand in the ocean.”
The RAD Movement, a nonprofit advocate for families of missing people, said in a statement Ryan had been in L.A. for 13 days searching for his daughter.
“This loss has compounded the family’s suffering immeasurably,” the group stated, while also emphasizing that there was still a missing woman to look for and it was “crucial for everyone to remain vigilant in their efforts to locate Hannah.”
Speculation that Ryan had something to do with Hannah’s disappearance was cruel and needed to be shut down, Larie told the LA Times. “He died of a broken heart,” she said.
