Missing Hannah Kobayashi’s pal says her final texts ‘didn’t sound like her’ as mystery surrounding disappearance deepens
A friend expressed alarm after reading Hannah Kobayashi’s last text messages, saying they “didn’t sound like her.”
As the mystery surrounding Hannah’s whereabouts grows, close friends claim something seemed strange in the days leading up to her disappearance on November 11.
Hannah has been a “genuine, free spirit” to Ariana Ursua, a freelancer from Hawaii, for more than seven years.
She claims that when the two communicate by text, their exchanges are always informal, enjoyable, and frequently full of symbols and emoticons.
However, Ariana told the New York Post that the communications Hannah’s friends shared in the last few hours before she disappeared seem to be very different from what is often seen.
“I had text messages with her, and those screenshots don’t feel like her,” she stated.

Emojis are present in every text message I exchange with her. She communicates in a really unique way.
On November 10, two days after Hannah missed a planned flight to New York, a series of mysterious messages appeared on her phone.
Her friends and family were immediately alarmed by these texts, as the Maui woman expressed fear that someone would try to steal her name and money.
A strange note read: “I got tricked pretty much into giving away all my funds for someone I thought I loved.”
Others discussed a “spiritual awakening” and the matrix.
Regarding the string of eerie messages, Hannah’s sister has already made a troubling revelation, stating that she believes they might be phony.

Because the messages’ substance and manner differ greatly from Hannah’s, Sydni Kobayashi speculates that they might have been sent by someone else.
“[It] feels like someone was controlling her,” she claimed in an interview with NewsNationCUOMO.
“Intuitively knowing her and being so close to her my entire life, I just know this is absolutely not like her.”
Additionally, according to her aunt Larie Pidgeon, her niece doesn’t sound like the messages.
Officers are frantically gathering information as they continue their investigation into the mysterious case.
