Hannah Kobayashi's Voluntary Journey to Mexico Raises Questions

Hannah Kobayashi, a 30-year-old Hawaiian woman missing for weeks, voluntarily crossed into Mexico, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The case has been reclassified as a 'voluntary missing persons' case and closed, as detectives believe she intended to disappear.
