Hannah Kobayashi returns to US from Mexico after her disappearance from LAX and dad’s suicide during search

Hannah Kobayashi, who attracted national attention after her disappearance from LAX, has returned to the US.

Kobayashi, 31, crossed the border from Mexico into California this weekend, where she was questioned by U.S. officials who asked if she was OK, a source said. TMZ.

She seemed healthy when she met her lawyer at the border before leaving with him.

The Hawaiian woman contacted family members on Wednesday to tell them she was doing well after disappearing from Los Angeles International Airport in November.

While she was missing, her father, Ryan Kobayashi, took his own life by reportedly jumping from a building near LAX after traveling to California to help authorities look for her.

He was tragically found dead at the bottom of a car park at around 4am on November 24, just over two weeks after his daughter was reported missing.

While she was missing, her father, Ryan Kobayashi, took his own life by reportedly jumping from a building near LAX after traveling to California to help authorities look for her.

She was on her way to New York from her home on the Hawaiian island of Maui when she decided to leave Los Angeles International Airport and disappear.

She wasn’t alone on that flight. She was headed to the Big Apple with her new Green Card husband, Argentina native Alan Cacace, in an attempt to trick immigration officials into believing their marriage was real, DailyMail.com previously revealed.

And on that same flight, her ex-boyfriend Amun Miranda joined them, along with his own Green Card wife Marianne – who happened to be Cacace’s girlfriend.

This messy love square, all on one plane, was only possible because Cacace allegedly gave Kobayashi $15,000 with the promise of a similar amount once the immigration documents were issued allowing him to stay in the United States.

The ruse of their marriage of convenience was already in the works after they tied the knot in October. Photos of the ceremony were shown to Kobayashi’s coworkers at Up ‘N Smoke, the Maui smoke shop where she worked.

The Hawaii woman, 31, contacted family members on Wednesday to tell them she was doing well after disappearing from Los Angeles International Airport in November.

“There was no secret,” Desiree, a colleague, told DailyMail.com. “She told us about her plans.”

“The Argentinian couple wanted to go on a last-minute trip because it provided an opportunity to take photos of their ‘romantic vacation,'” Desiree explains.

But the group’s dynamics quickly became complicated.

Kobayashi’s colleagues told DailyMail.com that she had mixed feelings about going on the trip – she was both excited about checking off a location on her bucket list where she could see family members, but also frustrated that she had to share her flight with ex-boyfriend Miranda .

Her colleagues also revealed that Cacace and his girlfriend were also a point of contention for the previously missing woman, who did not want either of them to come on this trip.

Kobayashi reportedly told them that she did not want to waste time taking photos, but would reluctantly sacrifice a day of her weekly planned vacation to accommodate their wishes.

And then there was Marianne, who Kobayashi recently had a fight with, which revolved around her jealousy over marrying her boyfriend Cacace.

“I remember Hannah saying the friend had a problem with her,” Desiree said. “And Hannah was like a girl, I’m not trying to steal your man. This is an arrangement we have all talked about beforehand.”
