Missing Hannah Kobayashi, 30, sent ‘really weird’ text before vanishing in Los Angeles on way to ‘bucket list trip’

THE family of a missing woman has revealed the eerie texts she sent after disappearing while on a cross-country trip, sparking a desperate search for the traveler.

Hannah Kobayashi, 30, was meant to board a flight in Los Angeles on Friday as she headed to New York City to visit her family.

But Kobayashi, who flew from her home in Maui, never got on the connecting flight – and she stopped responding to her family and friends.

When Kobayashi didn’t arrive in New York, her family became worried as her aunt told Kobayashi’s mom, Brandi Yee, that they were supposed to go to a show together.

Kobayashi’s mom and sister then found out that she had texted her friend from the Los Angeles airport about being scared.

“She heard from Hannah. She was at LAX, and she said that she was scared,” Yee told CBS and NBC affiliate Hawaii News Now.

Kobayashi’s sister, Sydni Kobayashi, said the messages made her feel uneasy.

“She texted her that she was scared and that she couldn’t come back home or something. It was just really weird texts,” Sydni said.

“It’s weird to me because it doesn’t sound like her, like there’s just something off about it,” she added.

“So I wasn’t too sure. I don’t know if it’s her or if someone else was texting.”

A screenshot of the messages shows Kobayashi telling her friend, “I got tricked pretty much into giving away all my funds.”

“For someone I thought I loved,” she added in another message.
