Hannah Kobayashi has finally spoken out about her father's untimely passing - six months after he killed himself while searching for her.
The 31-year-old aspiring photographer disappeared at the end of last year while on her way to visit family in New York from her native Hawaii.
She had stopped for a layover at Los Angeles International Airport, where she was caught on surveillance footage exiting the airport.
As the search efforts continued, Kobayashi's father Ryan Kobayashi, took his own life by reportedly jumping from a building structure near Los Angeles International Airport after traveling to California to help authorities look for her.
It later emerged that she had voluntarily crossed into Mexico from California, and when she finally returned to the US, she said she was completely 'unaware' of the media coverage surrounding her disappearance and her father's death.
