- Tell me about hannah's bucket list.
- 00:01:27.143 --> 00:01:31.648
- I understand that she was coming from hawaii.
- 00:01:31.648 --> 00:01:34.951
- Layover in la.
- 00:01:35.285 --> 00:01:37.754
- Brief layover.
- 00:01:37.754 --> 00:01:39.656
- And she was headed to a photo assignment in new york.
- 00:01:39.656 --> 00:01:45.395
- And that she took that assignment
- 00:01:45.395 --> 00:01:47.230
- Because going to new york city was on her bucket list.
- 00:01:47.230 --> 00:01:51.534

- 00:01:51.534 --> 00:01:54.204

- She got this job in new york.
- 00:02:04.047 --> 00:02:05.148
- Yes. that is part of her bucket list.

- She wants to travel the world.
- 00:02:06.749 --> 00:02:08.651
- She. and she wants to show off her beautiful photography.
- 00:02:08.651 --> 00:02:12.388
- So she lands in los angeles on friday, november 8th.
- 00:02:12.388 --> 00:02:16.659
- This is about.
- 00:02:16.659 --> 00:02:17.594
- She has a connection at 11 p.m..
- 00:02:17.594 --> 00:02:20.430
- She misses it.
- 00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:21.431
- But the thing was,
- 00:02:21.431 --> 00:02:22.465
- She was traveling with a friend, an ex-boyfriend.
- 00:02:22.465 --> 00:02:25.134
- They were going to go together to new york,
- 00:02:25.134 --> 00:02:27.503
- Even though they were broken up for their time together.
- 00:02:27.503 --> 00:02:30.273
- Whoa, whoa, wait.
- 00:02:30.273 --> 00:02:32.809
- Antenna going up.
- 00:02:32.809 --> 00:02:34.644
- Did i hear bff boyfriend?
- 00:02:34.644 --> 00:02:36.746
- Did i hear those words?
- 00:02:36.746 --> 00:02:38.815
- Yes, actually. ex-boyfriend.
- 00:02:38.815 --> 00:02:40.984
- Okay, stop right there.
- 00:02:40.984 --> 00:02:41.951
- Stop right there.
- 00:02:41.951 --> 00:02:42.852
- Stop, stop. stop and stop.
- 00:02:42.852 --> 00:02:45.722
- I'm trying to make sense
- 00:02:45.722 --> 00:02:46.823
- Of what i'm hearing because we all know.
- 00:02:46.823 --> 00:02:49.659
- Let me go straight out to gregory moore's,
- 00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:51.995
- High profile lawyer at king and moore's,
- 00:02:51.995 --> 00:02:55.665
- Author of the untested on amazon.
- 00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:59.068
- Greg.
- 00:02:59.068 --> 00:03:00.103
- Now, i'm sure all of your clients are innocent,
- 00:03:00.103 --> 00:03:03.506
- But that said, the first place you look
- 00:03:03.506 --> 00:03:06.542
- When anybody goes missing is husband boyfriend, ex lover.
- 00:03:06.542 --> 00:03:11.781
- Would you agree with that?
- 00:03:11.781 --> 00:03:14.350
- That's right, i do agree, and i agree that everyone
- 00:03:14.350 --> 00:03:17.053
- That king moore represents is likely innocent
- 00:03:17.053 --> 00:03:19.455
- And that the police
- 00:03:19.455 --> 00:03:21.024
- And any family member looking would go right
- 00:03:21.024 --> 00:03:23.426
- To the last person that saw hannah, alive before
- 00:03:23.426 --> 00:03:28.631
- Or though it was in texas, which would be the ex-boyfriend.
- 00:03:28.631 --> 00:03:31.901
- It's strange that they were traveling together,
- 00:03:31.901 --> 00:03:34.203
- Even though their apparently ex boyfriend and girlfriend.
- 00:03:34.203 --> 00:03:37.774
- Yeah.
- 00:03:38.007 --> 00:03:39.108
- You know, throwing in the word ex alexis to restaurant
- 00:03:39.108 --> 00:03:41.911
- Means nothing.
- 00:03:42.245 --> 00:03:43.813
- And greg brought it up to to scott eicher
- 00:03:43.813 --> 00:03:46.683
- Joining us, who has worked many, many missing persons cases.
- 00:03:46.683 --> 00:03:50.286
- Founding member of the fbi's cel
- 00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:57.293
- That's impressive.
- 00:03:57.727 --> 00:03:59.662
- Scott, aside from your expertise in cellular, cell phone
- 00:03:59.662 --> 00:04:02.965
- And digital analysis,
- 00:04:02.965 --> 00:04:04.100
- Let me talk to you about missing people.
- 00:04:04.100 --> 00:04:06.035
- The fact that the boyfriend is an ex.
- 00:04:06.035 --> 00:04:09.005
- That means nothing to me.
- 00:04:09.005 --> 00:04:10.506
- Because, no offense, you are a man.
- 00:04:10.506 --> 00:04:12.475
- I only become enraged when the woman breaks up.
- 00:04:12.475 --> 00:04:15.912
- That makes someone that is violence
- 00:04:15.912 --> 00:04:18.715
- Just beneath the surface boil over.
- 00:04:18.715 --> 00:04:21.617
- So the fact that it's an ex means nothing.
- 00:04:21.617 --> 00:04:24.153
- An exit decided to travel with her on this trip.
- 00:04:24.153 --> 00:04:28.358
- Ex means nothing, i totally agree.
- 00:04:29.125 --> 00:04:30.593
- Still a romantic liaison.
- 00:04:30.593 --> 00:04:33.696
- I totally agree.
- 00:04:34.097 --> 00:04:35.064
- I mean, they've had a past.
- 00:04:35.064 --> 00:04:36.299
- We don't know what the future is and that that relationship.
- 00:04:36.299 --> 00:04:40.002
- And it's always some someone that you have to start looking
- 00:04:40.002 --> 00:04:43.773
- Initially is the last person that's all.
- 00:04:43.773 --> 00:04:45.775
- Her ex-boyfriend was on the flight with her.
- 00:04:45.775 --> 00:04:48.277
- You know, that's one thing, alexis torres.
- 00:04:48.277 --> 00:04:50.813
- That's the last thing i would want to break up with a man.
- 00:04:50.813 --> 00:04:55.585
- And then there he is, sitting beside me on a five hour flight
- 00:04:55.585 --> 00:04:59.322
- Or however long it is from hawaii to l.a.
- 00:04:59.322 --> 00:05:02.692
- Like right there.
- 00:05:02.692 --> 00:05:04.160
- You break up with him and there he is.
- 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.729
- But correct me if i'm wrong, but he made his connecting
- 00:05:06.729 --> 00:05:11.601
- Flight, didn't he? which separates them?
- 00:05:11.601 --> 00:05:14.370
- He did. he went on to new york.
- 00:05:14.370 --> 00:05:16.172
- They only had about an hour layover in los angeles.
- 00:05:16.172 --> 00:05:18.941
- He got on to the next plane.
- 00:05:18.941 --> 00:05:20.410
- She did not. okay.
- 00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:22.879
- You joining us from la, alexis, if you could just describe the.
- 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:28.351
- Airport. and, you know, there's that stretch,
- 00:05:28.351 --> 00:05:31.187
- Alexis, which is underground.
- 00:05:31.821 --> 00:05:34.490
- It's a long
- 00:05:34.490 --> 00:05:36.192
- I mean, you can't even see the end of it
- 00:05:36.192 --> 00:05:38.394
- When you're getting off one plane
- 00:05:38.394 --> 00:05:40.496
- And you're going elsewhere.
- 00:05:40.496 --> 00:05:41.631
- You have to go in
- 00:05:41.631 --> 00:05:42.832
- A long underground tunnel where you lose cell reception
- 00:05:42.832 --> 00:05:46.068
- Very often.
- 00:05:46.068 --> 00:05:47.270
- You know that spot in lax.
- 00:05:47.270 --> 00:05:49.605
- So yes, lax is a madhouse.
- 00:05:49.605 --> 00:05:52.275
- It's crazy.
- 00:05:52.275 --> 00:05:54.710
- And it's seven terminals, and it's not like the
- 00:05:54.710 --> 00:05:57.713
- Atlanta airport where you have that train
- 00:05:57.713 --> 00:06:00.116
- That moves you from terminal to terminal.
- 00:06:00.116 --> 00:06:01.717
- You have to walk everywhere in los angeles.
- 00:06:01.717 --> 00:06:03.686
- So you walk underground from terminal to terminal,
- 00:06:03.686 --> 00:06:06.789
- And it's at a it's like a huge u shaped.
- 00:06:06.789 --> 00:06:11.093
- So to go from terminal terminal can take quite a long time
- 00:06:11.093 --> 00:06:13.963
- If you're walking it, it's just a gigantic airport.
- 00:06:13.963 --> 00:06:17.567
- And when you're trying to make a connection
- 00:06:18.434 --> 00:06:20.636
- In one hour your flight lands.
- 00:06:20.636 --> 00:06:23.639
- Then your next flight takes off in one hour.
- 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.476
- That's almost impossible in l.a.x..
- 00:06:26.476 --> 00:06:30.346
- Okay, back to you, scott eicher.
- 00:06:30.346 --> 00:06:32.915
- Founding member, fbi cellular analysis survey
- 00:06:32.915 --> 00:06:35.518
- Team and expert in missing people.
- 00:06:35.518 --> 00:06:39.989
- Do you
- 00:06:40.189 --> 00:06:41.290
- Believe the fact that the boyfriend actually catches
- 00:06:41.290 --> 00:06:44.727
- His connecting flight excludes him?
- 00:06:44.727 --> 00:06:48.898
- Because apparently police do?
- 00:06:48.898 --> 00:06:50.766
- That takes a little bit of more of investigative work.
- 00:06:50.766 --> 00:06:54.136
- You don't know what happened prior to the flight.
- 00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:56.506
- If he was involved in maybe, you know,
- 00:06:56.506 --> 00:06:59.775
- Drugging her or something simple like that.
- 00:06:59.775 --> 00:07:02.345
- She she got off the plane, went to, you know, disappeared
- 00:07:02.345 --> 00:07:06.048
- After that.
- 00:07:06.048 --> 00:07:07.049
- He made it further on to the connecting flight.
- 00:07:07.049 --> 00:07:09.952
- What happened in between that 40 minutes?
- 00:07:09.952 --> 00:07:12.922
- Okay.
- 00:07:12.922 --> 00:07:14.023
- Let me let me think about what scott eicher just said.
- 00:07:14.023 --> 00:07:15.958

- Okay, hold on, irv.

- Do you
- 00:07:38.581 --> 00:07:39.549
- Remember when you and i investigated caitlin
- 00:07:39.549 --> 00:07:42.685
- Armstrong, the so-called glam yoga instructor?
- 00:07:42.685 --> 00:07:46.889
- Number one, she killed a beautiful mariah,
- 00:07:46.889 --> 00:07:50.459
- A beautiful, young, world class dirt bike rider
- 00:07:50.459 --> 00:07:53.729
- Who was happened to be in town for a race
- 00:07:53.729 --> 00:07:57.033
- Day. there's caitlin at the airport,
- 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.969
- And i believe that that is, let's see.
- 00:07:59.969 --> 00:08:03.539
- It's not laguardia.
- 00:08:03.539 --> 00:08:05.474
- It's not jfk.
- 00:08:05.474 --> 00:08:07.777
- That's got to be the justification for this.
- 00:08:07.777 --> 00:08:10.046

- Now, remember how caitlin armstrong,

- Who had just murdered mo
- 00:08:19.088 --> 00:08:22.858
- Just because mo had a hamburger with armstrong's boyfriend?
- 00:08:22.858 --> 00:08:26.996
- Yeah.
- 00:08:26.996 --> 00:08:28.230

- And you actually called it,
- 00:08:39.141 --> 00:08:42.144
- Weeks before she was caught,
- 00:08:42.745 --> 00:08:44.046
- Or brant down there teaching surfing.

- 00:08:51.954 --> 00:08:53.789
- But the u.s. marshals found her.
- 00:08:53.789 --> 00:08:56.359
- Irv brandt, what i'm leading up to is look at her.
- 00:08:56.359 --> 00:08:59.962
- They had her every move.
- 00:08:59.962 --> 00:09:01.464
- Not once, but in two airports.
- 00:09:01.464 --> 00:09:04.600
- I mean, the only place with more video surveillance
- 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:08.704
- Than an airport.
- 00:09:08.704 --> 00:09:09.639
- Maybe, a vegas casino or target, of course.
- 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.575
- Who has the best surveillance video ever?
- 00:09:12.575 --> 00:09:15.411
- That said, irv, i guarantee you law enforcement has pulled
- 00:09:15.411 --> 00:09:19.915
- The video in lax and watched the boyfriend's every move.
- 00:09:19.915 --> 00:09:25.121
- That i have that i have no doubt.
- 00:09:25.855 --> 00:09:27.857
- Nancy, like the other panelists said that you're going to
- 00:09:27.857 --> 00:09:32.028
- Focus primarily
- 00:09:32.395 --> 00:09:34.130
- On a relationship person first until you rule them out.
- 00:09:34.130 --> 00:09:38.768
- And i'm sure that the fbi and lapd tracked,
- 00:09:38.768 --> 00:09:43.639
- The boyfriend's movements across the airport,
- 00:09:44.573 --> 00:09:47.710
- Made sure he did get on the flight,
- 00:09:47.710 --> 00:09:49.512
- Then probably tracked his movements
- 00:09:49.512 --> 00:09:51.747
- In new york to confirm that, he wasn't
- 00:09:51.747 --> 00:09:56.719
- No longer a person of interest in this case.
- 00:09:56.719 --> 00:10:00.056
- You know, i'm thinking about lax, irv
- 00:10:00.056 --> 00:10:02.992
- And everybody on the panel also joining
- 00:10:02.992 --> 00:10:05.094
- Us, renowned psychologist karen stark.
- 00:10:05.094 --> 00:10:07.863
- Karen stark,
- 00:10:07.863 --> 00:10:09.098
- I want to circle back to you because the last thing you want
- 00:10:09.098 --> 00:10:10.399
- Is your ex popping up in the seat beside you.
- 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.401
- God forbid. it'd be a middle seat
- 00:10:12.401 --> 00:10:15.037
- That said, this woman,
- 00:10:15.037 --> 00:10:17.807
- Gorgeous, brunet beauty out of hawaii,
- 00:10:17.807 --> 00:10:21.444
- Gets as far as lax, then seemingly vanishes
- 00:10:21.444 --> 00:10:25.314
- Between flights.
- 00:10:25.314 --> 00:10:27.616
- The first place you look in an airport.
- 00:10:27.616 --> 00:10:30.119
- Scott eichner how do you,
- 00:10:30.119 --> 00:10:33.155
- I mean, lax is over five acres.
- 00:10:33.789 --> 00:10:37.626
- Where do you start looking for her?
- 00:10:37.626 --> 00:10:40.629
- In an airport.
- 00:10:40.629 --> 00:10:41.564
- The bathrooms, the lounges, the restaurants.
- 00:10:41.564 --> 00:10:45.501
- But she'd be easily spotted there.
- 00:10:45.501 --> 00:10:49.238
- So then you have to go behind the scenes, behind the doors
- 00:10:49.238 --> 00:10:53.242
- And say, employees only.
- 00:10:53.242 --> 00:10:55.044
- I mean, how do you do it, scott?
- 00:10:55.044 --> 00:10:57.079
- Well, as you said, those cameras in the airports
- 00:10:57.079 --> 00:10:59.682
- Are just fantastic.
- 00:10:59.682 --> 00:11:00.916
- And i mean, you have a starting point, you know, the exit
- 00:11:00.916 --> 00:11:04.653
- From the plane into the terminal,
- 00:11:04.653 --> 00:11:06.789
- Then you just follow that person.
- 00:11:06.789 --> 00:11:09.191
- Hopefully, i don't know, i've been too lax.
- 00:11:09.191 --> 00:11:11.327
- It's it's i'm not in that place and it's just so many people
- 00:11:11.327 --> 00:11:14.663
- I can see.
- 00:11:14.663 --> 00:11:15.765
- It might be difficult, but still possible to follow it
- 00:11:15.765 --> 00:11:18.000
- Through the terminal as you goes,
- 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.369
- You know,
- 00:11:20.369 --> 00:11:21.070
- Away from the airplane itself
- 00:11:21.070 --> 00:11:22.371
- And then to other parts of the airport itself.
- 00:11:22.371 --> 00:11:25.407
- The search for hannah, it riddled with mystery.
- 00:11:25.407 --> 00:11:28.644
- She leaves maui, scheduled to catch a flight at lax,
- 00:11:28.644 --> 00:11:32.314
- A flight to new york city, but missed it
- 00:11:32.314 --> 00:11:34.750
- Because of a short layover, according to her family.
- 00:11:34.750 --> 00:11:38.721
- Police working with the family to find her
- 00:11:38.721 --> 00:11:41.123
- In a desperate search.
- 00:11:41.123 --> 00:11:42.291
- So what happens next?
- 00:11:42.291 --> 00:11:44.426
- 30 year old hannah kobayashi is on a bucket list
- 00:11:44.426 --> 00:11:47.263
- Trip from her home in hawaii to new york.
- 00:11:47.263 --> 00:11:49.565
- She is going to visit an aunt in
- 00:11:49.565 --> 00:11:51.100
- Upstate new york and take photos at a deejay show in brooklyn.
- 00:11:51.100 --> 00:11:54.937
- Kobayashi plans the trip with her boyfriend,
- 00:11:54.937 --> 00:11:57.173
- But they break up before the trip,
- 00:11:57.173 --> 00:11:59.041
- Unable to get a refund, they agree
- 00:11:59.041 --> 00:12:00.876
- To fly together to new york and go their separate ways.
- 00:12:00.876 --> 00:12:03.479
- Upon arrival, hannah and her ex arrive at los angeles
- 00:12:03.479 --> 00:12:06.749
- International airport on friday at 9:53 p.m.
- 00:12:06.749 --> 00:12:10.152
- And have a connecting flight to jfk in new york, scheduled
- 00:12:10.152 --> 00:12:13.122
- For 11 p.m..
- 00:12:13.122 --> 00:12:15.009
- Welcome back.
- 00:12:15.266 --> 00:12:16.501
- What happened to a hawaiian beauty on her bucket list trip?
- 00:12:16.501 --> 00:12:21.439
- She takes a photo assignment in new york.
- 00:12:21.439 --> 00:12:23.274
- She finally gets to go see the city.
- 00:12:23.274 --> 00:12:25.410
- She gets to la lax airport and then vanishes.
- 00:12:25.410 --> 00:12:31.282
- Something is very wrong with this scenario.
- 00:12:31.282 --> 00:12:35.687
- Then i hear alexis torres check
- 00:12:35.687 --> 00:12:37.589
- That she's at the airport overnight.
- 00:12:37.589 --> 00:12:40.592
- She's waiting for an early morning flight, hopefully,
- 00:12:40.592 --> 00:12:43.528
- And then suddenly she pops up at the grove.
- 00:12:43.528 --> 00:12:46.965
- Hold on. i need to shrink.
- 00:12:46.965 --> 00:12:48.132
- Karen starting joining me right
- 00:12:48.132 --> 00:12:49.400
- Now, psychologist, tv, radio, trauma expert and consultant.
- 00:12:49.400 --> 00:12:53.004
- If you're looking for her online, she's at karen starcom.
- 00:12:53.004 --> 00:12:56.174
- Karen, where you see
- 00:12:56.174 --> 00:12:57.275
- Karen, a lot of this isn't making sense to me now.
- 00:12:57.275 --> 00:13:00.078
- She travels with the acts even though they're broken up.
- 00:13:00.078 --> 00:13:02.580
- At first i was hung up on that.
- 00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:04.749
- Then i found out they couldn't get a refund.
- 00:13:04.749 --> 00:13:07.785
- So, you know, they had to grin and bear it.
- 00:13:07.785 --> 00:13:11.022
- He goes on to catch his fly.
- 00:13:11.022 --> 00:13:13.791
- You know, l.a.
- 00:13:13.791 --> 00:13:15.360
- Law enforcement has looked at all the surveillance of him
- 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.162
- Leaving his flight and walking just like we saw caitlin
- 00:13:18.162 --> 00:13:21.599
- Armstrong every step of the way to his connecting flight.
- 00:13:21.599 --> 00:13:25.069
- He made it. he is not a suspect.
- 00:13:25.069 --> 00:13:28.940
- But why?
- 00:13:29.207 --> 00:13:30.008
- This is part i don't get
- 00:13:30.008 --> 00:13:32.377
- When you're trying to catch a flight
- 00:13:32.377 --> 00:13:34.679
- To get to your destination.
- 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:36.014
- Why do you leave the airport
- 00:13:36.014 --> 00:13:37.782
- And decide to go shopping at a mall?
- 00:13:37.782 --> 00:13:39.984
- It's an outdoor mall, is famous.
- 00:13:39.984 --> 00:13:42.253
- So, i don't get that part.
- 00:13:42.253 --> 00:13:45.556
- Well, nancy,
- 00:13:45.890 --> 00:13:46.991
- That's the part that everyone is wondering about.
- 00:13:46.991 --> 00:13:49.027
- And it certainly seems like somebody else
- 00:13:49.027 --> 00:13:52.130
- May have been involved because it doesn't make sense.
- 00:13:52.130 --> 00:13:55.900
- And the only thing i can think of
- 00:13:55.900 --> 00:13:57.435
- Is that she's being coerced or manipulated.
- 00:13:57.435 --> 00:14:00.538
- Somebody has her with some kind of stockholm syndrome
- 00:14:00.538 --> 00:14:04.375
- Trauma, bonding and she can't leave.
- 00:14:04.375 --> 00:14:07.478
- And they are making her go to these destinations
- 00:14:07.478 --> 00:14:10.682
- To have it seem that things are normal right there.
- 00:14:10.682 --> 00:14:14.218
- You know, much
- 00:14:14.218 --> 00:14:15.420
- As much as i'd love to dive down that rabbit hole with you,
- 00:14:15.420 --> 00:14:20.191
- Let me just get the bus, the weeds
- 00:14:20.191 --> 00:14:23.261
- And back in the middle of the road.
- 00:14:23.261 --> 00:14:24.896
- Because. isn't it true?
- 00:14:24.896 --> 00:14:26.631
- Alexis torres chuck that while at the grove,
- 00:14:26.631 --> 00:14:30.969
- She takes pictures of herself
- 00:14:30.969 --> 00:14:33.137
- And sends them to her aunt, and there's nobody coercing her.
- 00:14:33.137 --> 00:14:37.141
- She looks happy.
- 00:14:37.141 --> 00:14:38.743
- Guess she went to
- 00:14:39.177 --> 00:14:40.411
- The grove two days in a row, so she lands on friday night.
- 00:14:40.411 --> 00:14:43.014
- She goes to the grove on saturday,
- 00:14:43.014 --> 00:14:44.549
- And the next time we see her again,
- 00:14:44.549 --> 00:14:46.150
- She's back at the grove for
- 00:14:46.150 --> 00:14:47.552
- This is the lebron james event at the nike store.
- 00:14:47.552 --> 00:14:50.121
- Okay, now the story becomes even more bizarre.
- 00:14:50.121 --> 00:14:55.059
- How do tarot card readings
- 00:14:55.059 --> 00:14:59.297
- Fit into hannah's disappearance?
- 00:14:59.297 --> 00:15:01.966
- Listen.
- 00:15:01.966 --> 00:15:03.167
- On the evening of saturday, november 9th, hannah kobayashi
- 00:15:03.167 --> 00:15:05.536
- Makes two venmo payments via venmo.
- 00:15:05.536 --> 00:15:07.672
- One payment is made at 6:25 p.m.
- 00:15:07.672 --> 00:15:10.041
- To a woman named
- 00:15:10.041 --> 00:15:10.808
- Veronica armendariz.
- 00:15:10.808 --> 00:15:12.410
- The payment includes a description
- 00:15:12.410 --> 00:15:13.811
- Of a bow and arrow emoji.
- 00:15:13.811 --> 00:15:15.747
- Less than one hour later, at 7:19 p.m., kobayashi
- 00:15:15.747 --> 00:15:19.584
- Makes a venmo payment
- 00:15:19.584 --> 00:15:20.785
- To jonathan taylor in the subject
- 00:15:20.785 --> 00:15:22.954
- Line of the second venmo payment.
- 00:15:22.954 --> 00:15:24.522
- Is the word reading okay?
- 00:15:24.522 --> 00:15:26.924
- Alexis torres check tarot card readings number one.
- 00:15:26.924 --> 00:15:32.397
- I don't believe in them.
- 00:15:32.397 --> 00:15:34.065
- Number two, i had one done,
- 00:15:34.065 --> 00:15:37.068
- During the atlanta olympics as a lark.
- 00:15:37.068 --> 00:15:40.004
- A defense attorney also read tarot cards.
- 00:15:40.004 --> 00:15:43.541
- And as a lark, said, okay, read my cards.
- 00:15:43.541 --> 00:15:46.577
- And he said in 1996,
- 00:15:46.577 --> 00:15:49.580
- You will marry a man that's already in your life
- 00:15:49.580 --> 00:15:53.151
- Many years from now,
- 00:15:53.618 --> 00:15:55.186
- And you will have twins, a boy and a girl.
- 00:15:55.186 --> 00:15:58.589
- Okay. really?
- 00:15:58.956 --> 00:15:59.924
- That was 96, 2007.
- 00:15:59.924 --> 00:16:02.527
- I married
- 00:16:02.527 --> 00:16:03.661
- David, who i've known since my senior year of college,
- 00:16:03.661 --> 00:16:07.331
- And we had two children, a boy and a girl.
- 00:16:07.331 --> 00:16:10.802
- I still don't believe in it.
- 00:16:10.802 --> 00:16:13.004
- Okay,
- 00:16:13.004 --> 00:16:14.238
- Because i can't bring it into evidence and a court of law,
- 00:16:14.238 --> 00:16:17.475
- And i.
- 00:16:17.675 --> 00:16:18.743
- I hear gregory moore's high profile ongoing.
- 00:16:18.743 --> 00:16:20.945
- That's right. but tell me, i.
- 00:16:20.945 --> 00:16:23.915
- Where does she get a tarot card reading?
- 00:16:23.915 --> 00:16:28.119
- I mean, they're everywhere there is.
- 00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:31.322
- So the grove is is a shopping district
- 00:16:31.322 --> 00:16:33.858
- That's at the malls in the middle.
- 00:16:33.858 --> 00:16:35.059
- There are streets north and south, east and west of there.
- 00:16:35.059 --> 00:16:37.895
- It's the melrose district
- 00:16:37.895 --> 00:16:39.630
- Tarot card ratings all up and down the street.
- 00:16:39.630 --> 00:16:42.433
- She can walk to any of them.
- 00:16:42.433 --> 00:16:44.402
- This is not this is a busy area.
- 00:16:44.402 --> 00:16:46.838
- She could find it anywhere along those street.
- 00:16:46.838 --> 00:16:48.973
- Okay, that's leading me somewhere else to earth.
- 00:16:48.973 --> 00:16:51.509
- Brandt. now i've got her leave.
- 00:16:51.509 --> 00:16:54.545
- She's left the airport. she's at the grove.
- 00:16:54.545 --> 00:16:57.248
- Not one day, but two days.
- 00:16:57.248 --> 00:16:59.484
- Still planning to catch a flight.
- 00:16:59.484 --> 00:17:01.352
- There she is. there she is.
- 00:17:01.352 --> 00:17:02.920
- That's in front of the, nike store at the grove earth now.
- 00:17:02.920 --> 00:17:08.092
- She leaves and wanders down the side of history
- 00:17:08.092 --> 00:17:10.661
- And gets a tarot card reading.
- 00:17:10.661 --> 00:17:12.463
- Now it sounds to me like she's just kicking back,
- 00:17:12.463 --> 00:17:15.600
- Enjoying herself.
- 00:17:16.033 --> 00:17:17.335
- Lucky at a street festival, going into the various stalls,
- 00:17:17.335 --> 00:17:21.072
- Maybe eating, taking pictures.
- 00:17:21.072 --> 00:17:23.741
- I like what karen just said.
- 00:17:24.342 --> 00:17:26.144
- I'm not buying any sudden stockholm syndrome or trauma
- 00:17:26.144 --> 00:17:30.681
- Bonding, sleeping for 48 hours and still everything
- 00:17:30.681 --> 00:17:34.919
- Seems to be on track.
- 00:17:34.919 --> 00:17:36.587
- But we know
- 00:17:36.587 --> 00:17:37.755
- She's going to go back to lax to catch another flight.
- 00:17:37.755 --> 00:17:41.292
- So what do you make of this turn of events?
- 00:17:41.292 --> 00:17:43.728
- She's walking along a street near the grove
- 00:17:43.728 --> 00:17:47.098
- And has a tarot card reading and pays for it with a venmo.
- 00:17:47.098 --> 00:17:51.068
- And nancy, i don't find that unusual.
- 00:17:51.869 --> 00:17:54.839
- If you were going to be in los angeles for a couple of days
- 00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.809
- And you were going to continue on,
- 00:17:58.809 --> 00:18:01.746
- And she went to a place like the grove and like you
- 00:18:01.746 --> 00:18:05.383
- Said, maybe just pass the time waiting for a flight.
- 00:18:05.383 --> 00:18:09.287
- And she's interested in tarot card readings.
- 00:18:09.287 --> 00:18:13.291
- And so she stopped in,
- 00:18:13.291 --> 00:18:15.860
- For a reading.
- 00:18:16.194 --> 00:18:17.795
- I don't find that unusual.
- 00:18:17.795 --> 00:18:19.597
- I'm sure investigators on the case
- 00:18:19.597 --> 00:18:23.000
- Are trying to find if there's video.
- 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:26.204
- They found a tarot card reader.
- 00:18:26.204 --> 00:18:28.573
- They found him, or brandt.
- 00:18:28.573 --> 00:18:31.108
- His name is jonathan taylor.
- 00:18:31.108 --> 00:18:33.811
- But, what i find probative is
- 00:18:33.811 --> 00:18:36.547
- That i've got her sending a venmo at 719,
- 00:18:36.547 --> 00:18:41.085
- And it has reading written on it.
- 00:18:41.085 --> 00:18:43.788
- We know who it goes to. we know where she is.
- 00:18:43.788 --> 00:18:46.090
- So that's pretty strong evidence.
- 00:18:46.090 --> 00:18:47.858
- She's alive and well two days later at 719.
- 00:18:47.858 --> 00:18:52.063
- But venmo has been a source of evidence in other cases.
- 00:18:52.063 --> 00:18:58.035
- Does anyone remember deborah collier, the georgia mom
- 00:18:58.035 --> 00:19:02.807
- Who leaves her house with her car keys, debit card?
- 00:19:02.807 --> 00:19:06.177
- Everything?
- 00:19:06.177 --> 00:19:07.411
- The last we know of her is a venmo.
- 00:19:07.411 --> 00:19:10.781
- Deborah collier leaves her house with her car keys and debit
- 00:19:11.949 --> 00:19:14.852
- Card drives to a dollar store an hour from her home
- 00:19:14.852 --> 00:19:17.388
- Is seen on video in the store and in the parking lot.
- 00:19:17.388 --> 00:19:20.424
- She sends a $2,300 venmo payment to her daughter, amanda beard,
- 00:19:20.424 --> 00:19:24.495
- With the cryptic message, they are not going to let me go.
- 00:19:24.495 --> 00:19:28.165
- Love you.
- 00:19:28.165 --> 00:19:29.433
- There's a key to the house in the blue flower pot by the door.
- 00:19:29.433 --> 00:19:31.936
- Beard says she wasn't expecting money
- 00:19:31.936 --> 00:19:33.704
- And calls collier right away, but gets no answer.
- 00:19:33.704 --> 00:19:36.207
- Deborah collier has vanished.
- 00:19:36.207 --> 00:19:38.576
- Her daughter and husband reported missing,
- 00:19:38.576 --> 00:19:40.211
- And police begin the investigation.
- 00:19:40.211 --> 00:19:41.812
- Focused on the venmo payment.
- 00:19:41.812 --> 00:19:44.982
- And there you see video surveillance of deborah.
- 00:19:45.950 --> 00:19:48.853
- I believe that's at a
- 00:19:48.853 --> 00:19:50.054
- Dollar general or a dollar tree just before she vanishes.
- 00:19:50.054 --> 00:19:53.257
- That venmo being one of the last clues
- 00:19:53.257 --> 00:19:57.194
- Of whether she's dead or alive.
- 00:19:57.194 --> 00:20:00.064
- But here we have another clue.
- 00:20:00.064 --> 00:20:04.168
- Listen.
- 00:20:04.402 --> 00:20:05.603
- Sunday, november 10th hannah kobayashi is back at the grove
- 00:20:05.603 --> 00:20:09.407
- In downtown los angeles.
- 00:20:09.407 --> 00:20:10.908
- In a scene on a video
- 00:20:10.908 --> 00:20:11.976
- Posted to youtube at the lebron james
- 00:20:11.976 --> 00:20:14.078
- Trial experience at the nike store,
- 00:20:14.078 --> 00:20:16.347
- A photo of the event is posted on kobayashi's instagram.
- 00:20:16.347 --> 00:20:19.750
- Hannah had been texting with family members,
- 00:20:19.750 --> 00:20:21.886
- Telling them she couldn't wait to get to new york,
- 00:20:21.886 --> 00:20:24.422
- And it was a nightmare trying to get another flight.
- 00:20:24.422 --> 00:20:27.058
- Back to gregory
- 00:20:27.058 --> 00:20:28.225
- Morris joining as partner king and moore's palm beach.
- 00:20:28.225 --> 00:20:32.096
- Gregory, the significance of this?
- 00:20:32.096 --> 00:20:34.965
- I mean, we know she went to the nike store and
- 00:20:34.965 --> 00:20:38.969
- This video is for the lebron james
- 00:20:39.737 --> 00:20:42.173
- Trial experience and that is at the nike store.
- 00:20:42.173 --> 00:20:45.543
- But her posting of this video on youtube
- 00:20:45.543 --> 00:20:50.648
- Gives me another hard time in my timeline scenario.
- 00:20:50.648 --> 00:20:56.754
- And she's provided
- 00:20:56.754 --> 00:20:57.788
- All of that herself from the venmo to the posting.
- 00:20:57.788 --> 00:21:01.359
- So we have her alive and well.
- 00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:03.794
- Sunday, november 10th
- 00:21:03.794 --> 00:21:06.831
- I mean, i don't see anything odd about it.
- 00:21:06.831 --> 00:21:09.500
- I don't think anyone's controlling her.
- 00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:11.635
- I don't think anyone has abducted her and is making her
- 00:21:11.635 --> 00:21:14.705
- Go to the lebron james trial experience.
- 00:21:14.705 --> 00:21:19.176
- I think we can count on that as being a significant factor
- 00:21:19.176 --> 00:21:21.846
- In our timeline.
- 00:21:21.846 --> 00:21:23.447
- I think it's
- 00:21:23.781 --> 00:21:24.749
- Significant, but i think it also can be seen
- 00:21:24.749 --> 00:21:28.452
- As a problematic that she may have been, being controlled.
- 00:21:28.452 --> 00:21:33.290
- You know, there's connections of her.
- 00:21:33.290 --> 00:21:35.793
- Well. why should she be in control?
- 00:21:35.793 --> 00:21:37.695
- Because she's had the lebron james experience.
- 00:21:37.695 --> 00:21:40.998
- Well, when you look at the picture,
- 00:21:40.998 --> 00:21:43.234
- She does not look happy.
- 00:21:43.234 --> 00:21:44.802
- She does not look like she wants to be there
- 00:21:44.802 --> 00:21:47.671
- In the sense that she's not
- 00:21:47.671 --> 00:21:48.839
- Smiling, hands raised or showing excitement for this.
- 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.676
- It's an odd event to go to if,
- 00:21:52.676 --> 00:21:56.113
- You had a connecting flight to new york.
- 00:21:56.113 --> 00:21:58.282
- Greg morris so your theory, let's
- 00:21:58.282 --> 00:22:01.385
- Just follow this theory to its logical conclusion
- 00:22:01.385 --> 00:22:04.755
- To the dead end.
- 00:22:05.156 --> 00:22:06.123
- I'm about to explain.
- 00:22:06.123 --> 00:22:07.625
- Greg morris, you're saying that someone is controlling her.
- 00:22:07.625 --> 00:22:11.061
- They've abducted her
- 00:22:11.061 --> 00:22:12.463
- And they've taken her to the lebron james experience.
- 00:22:12.463 --> 00:22:15.766
- Okay, so they kidnap her.
- 00:22:15.766 --> 00:22:17.368
- Not to rape her, not to get money from her,
- 00:22:17.368 --> 00:22:19.904
- Not to kill her out of some, thrill kill desire.
- 00:22:19.904 --> 00:22:23.307
- But they kidnap her to force her to go to the lebron
- 00:22:23.307 --> 00:22:26.143
- James experiment. experiment?
- 00:22:26.143 --> 00:22:27.912
- Is that what you're saying?
- 00:22:27.912 --> 00:22:29.814
- That's exactly what i'm saying, potentially.
- 00:22:29.814 --> 00:22:31.982
- And it seems like that could have occurred
- 00:22:31.982 --> 00:22:34.418
- To make her seem like your law.
- 00:22:34.418 --> 00:22:36.454
- Partners are not going to be
- 00:22:36.454 --> 00:22:37.521
- Happy with you, because that doesn't make sense.
- 00:22:37.521 --> 00:22:41.292
- Do you need to retract it?
- 00:22:41.292 --> 00:22:43.661
- She was kidnaped to force her to go to the lebron james
- 00:22:43.661 --> 00:22:46.664
- Experiment set. is that you're going to stick with that?
- 00:22:46.664 --> 00:22:49.900
- I'm going to stick with that
- 00:22:50.501 --> 00:22:51.569
- Because from everything else,
- 00:22:51.569 --> 00:22:53.037
- It seems like she's not intentionally doing that.
- 00:22:53.037 --> 00:22:55.573
- Someone is trying to create the impression
- 00:22:55.573 --> 00:22:57.808
- That this girl is fine.
- 00:22:57.808 --> 00:22:59.443
- And i go back to the, ex-boyfriend
- 00:22:59.443 --> 00:23:02.680
- Who was with her
- 00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:04.014
- On a connecting flight
- 00:23:04.014 --> 00:23:05.282
- But didn't go with her to the connecting flight.
- 00:23:05.282 --> 00:23:08.252
- That is very unlikely.
- 00:23:08.252 --> 00:23:09.353
- Let let's just rule him out to make greg more happy.
- 00:23:09.353 --> 00:23:12.857
- Alexis torres shot at the time this photo was taken
- 00:23:12.857 --> 00:23:16.594
- In front of the lebron james trial experiment.
- 00:23:16.594 --> 00:23:20.831
- The boyfriend has.
- 00:23:20.831 --> 00:23:22.433
- This is two days later.
- 00:23:22.433 --> 00:23:24.101
- The boyfriend is already where he was going.
- 00:23:24.101 --> 00:23:27.304
- He's at his destination.
- 00:23:27.304 --> 00:23:28.906
- She's alive, and he's in another jurisdiction.
- 00:23:28.906 --> 00:23:32.376
- He went to new york. he made a slight.
- 00:23:32.376 --> 00:23:34.278
- He actually has spoken with the police. they have.
- 00:23:34.278 --> 00:23:36.747
- They said that he has been very helpful
- 00:23:36.747 --> 00:23:39.750
- And they do not believe that he is involved in this at all.
- 00:23:39.750 --> 00:23:42.586
- He has no knowledge of what is going on.
- 00:23:42.586 --> 00:23:46.010
- He has no knowledge of what is going on.
- 00:23:46.010 --> 00:23:46.290
- Where is hanukkah? bbc
- 00:23:46.757 --> 00:23:50.160
- Friends, family, police are stopped.
- 00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.364
- Family desperate.
- 00:23:53.364 --> 00:23:55.633
- Then after she is spotted at the grove
- 00:23:55.633 --> 00:23:58.769
- And the lebron james, experiment.
- 00:23:58.769 --> 00:24:01.906
- An odd twist.
- 00:24:02.273 --> 00:24:04.441
- The text that she is sending to friends and family
- 00:24:04.441 --> 00:24:07.711
- Suddenly don't sound like her at all.
- 00:24:07.711 --> 00:24:10.915
- Listen,
- 00:24:10.915 --> 00:24:11.815
- Hannah kobayashi's family is concerned
- 00:24:11.815 --> 00:24:13.584
- About odd text messages they are getting from hannah
- 00:24:13.584 --> 00:24:16.420
- Because the messages don't sound like her.
- 00:24:16.420 --> 00:24:18.722
- The messages use terms like hun and babe and saying someone
- 00:24:18.722 --> 00:24:23.260
- Is trying to steal her identity and all of her funds.
- 00:24:23.260 --> 00:24:26.297
- The messages also don't include any emojis,
- 00:24:26.297 --> 00:24:28.866
- Something everyone knows to expect
- 00:24:28.866 --> 00:24:30.901
- From a text message coming from hannah kobayashi.
- 00:24:30.901 --> 00:24:34.004
- You know, greg moore's high profile lawyer.
- 00:24:34.004 --> 00:24:36.173
- He's tried a lot of cases.
- 00:24:36.173 --> 00:24:38.609
- There is the reality
- 00:24:38.609 --> 00:24:41.912
- Of routine evidence and again, by that
- 00:24:41.912 --> 00:24:46.984
- I don't mean stereotypical or run of the mill evidence.
- 00:24:46.984 --> 00:24:51.322
- I mean evidence of someone's routine.
- 00:24:51.322 --> 00:24:54.425
- If i were to send you a two paragraph text,
- 00:24:54.425 --> 00:24:57.361
- You would know i'm dead and somebody has got my phone.
- 00:24:57.361 --> 00:25:01.231
- My texts are two sentences max, with a lot of abbreviations,
- 00:25:01.231 --> 00:25:06.236
- This woman always included an emoji.
- 00:25:06.236 --> 00:25:09.773
- Always
- 00:25:09.974 --> 00:25:11.275
- No emojis.
- 00:25:11.575 --> 00:25:12.643
- In this, she started using pet names like babe and hun
- 00:25:12.643 --> 00:25:17.948
- Spelled h u n, as in attila
- 00:25:17.948 --> 00:25:22.019
- The hun, as opposed to honey.
- 00:25:22.019 --> 00:25:25.356
- They all noticed that was totally unlike her,
- 00:25:25.356 --> 00:25:29.793
- And i submit and would submit even in the court of law, that
- 00:25:29.793 --> 00:25:34.064
- That is where my tray timeline begins
- 00:25:34.064 --> 00:25:37.401
- With these odd texts.
- 00:25:37.401 --> 00:25:40.604
- Well, i don't think the timeline begins there,
- 00:25:40.604 --> 00:25:43.741
- But i do agree with you that those texts
- 00:25:43.741 --> 00:25:46.710
- Seem out of character according to her family.
- 00:25:46.710 --> 00:25:49.346
- And we all know when something's wrong.
- 00:25:49.346 --> 00:25:52.016
- We've we've had a loved one or friend send us a text.
- 00:25:52.016 --> 00:25:54.818
- Hey, are you mad?
- 00:25:54.818 --> 00:25:55.919
- This texting off.
- 00:25:55.919 --> 00:25:58.122
- We have it's very quickly.
- 00:25:58.122 --> 00:25:59.523
- And and hannah's family knew her habits.
- 00:25:59.523 --> 00:26:02.259
- And it does seem like someone sent those texts to try
- 00:26:02.259 --> 00:26:05.929
- To make it seem like she's,
- 00:26:05.929 --> 00:26:08.332
- She is alive in some way.
- 00:26:08.899 --> 00:26:10.501
- Or even though they're negative texts,
- 00:26:10.501 --> 00:26:13.137
- That talk about her disappearing.
- 00:26:13.137 --> 00:26:14.805
- And that could all be a ruse
- 00:26:14.805 --> 00:26:16.507
- To let her family
- 00:26:16.507 --> 00:26:17.775
- Think something that's not true when she's somewhere else.
- 00:26:17.775 --> 00:26:20.878
- So i think you're right.
- 00:26:20.878 --> 00:26:22.212
- The texts are important, but the timeline starts
- 00:26:22.212 --> 00:26:24.782
- When she leaves hawaii and then goes from there.
- 00:26:24.782 --> 00:26:28.185
- And these texts are one piece that help
- 00:26:28.185 --> 00:26:30.721
- Describe this odd situation.
- 00:26:30.721 --> 00:26:32.589
- And that something is amiss here with this.
- 00:26:32.589 --> 00:26:35.292
- With hannah.
- 00:26:35.292 --> 00:26:36.427
- I am, of course, referring to the criminal timeline,
- 00:26:36.427 --> 00:26:39.763
- When i believe that something went awry with hannah.
- 00:26:39.763 --> 00:26:43.867
- This has happened before,
- 00:26:44.435 --> 00:26:46.103
- And we can prove that it's evidence of wrongdoing.
- 00:26:46.103 --> 00:26:49.940
- Remember gabby petito.
- 00:26:49.940 --> 00:26:51.809
- On august 27th, 2021?
- 00:26:51.809 --> 00:26:53.844
- It's believed that brian laundrie
- 00:26:53.844 --> 00:26:55.279
- Sent a text to nicole schmidt
- 00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:56.680
- In which he refers to gabby petitos grandfather.
- 00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.183
- Stand by name gabby petito never called her grandfather
- 00:26:59.183 --> 00:27:03.020
- By this name.
- 00:27:03.020 --> 00:27:04.021
- Calling your grandfather by their first name
- 00:27:04.021 --> 00:27:05.823
- And not a common nickname like papa or grandpa or
- 00:27:05.823 --> 00:27:08.559
- Something like that, was very, very unorthodox.
- 00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:10.627
- And nicole schmidt
- 00:27:10.627 --> 00:27:11.829
- Had very, very strong feelings connected to that text message
- 00:27:11.829 --> 00:27:14.732
- That something wasn't right,
- 00:27:14.732 --> 00:27:16.200
- That something was drastically wrong.
- 00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:19.236
- I mean, these texts get really bizarre.
- 00:27:19.236 --> 00:27:21.739
- Let's see that visual of the texts.
- 00:27:21.739 --> 00:27:24.742
- Deep hackers wiped my identity, stole all of my funds,
- 00:27:24.742 --> 00:27:29.613
- Have had me on a mind f since friday.
- 00:27:29.613 --> 00:27:33.250
- I got tricked into giving away all my funds for someone.
- 00:27:33.250 --> 00:27:36.720
- Listen, i thought i loved
- 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:39.490
- Then she's no longer replying to messages from family
- 00:27:39.490 --> 00:27:42.359
- And friends.
- 00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:43.527
- No new messages are coming to their sounds at that point.
- 00:27:43.527 --> 00:27:48.565
- Family reports her missing to alexis torres.
- 00:27:48.565 --> 00:27:53.170
- Shocked family and friends
- 00:27:53.170 --> 00:27:54.605
- Thought everything was fine up until this point.
- 00:27:54.605 --> 00:27:58.475
- At this point
- 00:27:58.842 --> 00:28:00.244
- They reach out to police, they file a missing persons report
- 00:28:00.244 --> 00:28:03.647
- And they began to blanket social media.
- 00:28:03.647 --> 00:28:06.750
- Describe.
- 00:28:06.750 --> 00:28:08.786
- They put out the local police,
- 00:28:09.386 --> 00:28:11.588
- Put out a message on their social media.
- 00:28:11.588 --> 00:28:13.357
- They put say that she is a missing woman
- 00:28:13.357 --> 00:28:15.125
- Here in los angeles.
- 00:28:15.125 --> 00:28:15.959
- It was on the local news
- 00:28:15.959 --> 00:28:17.694
- And it has been all over tiktok, instagram.
- 00:28:17.694 --> 00:28:22.099
- I don't know about twitter, but it's everywhere.
- 00:28:22.099 --> 00:28:24.568
- And here's the thing
- 00:28:24.568 --> 00:28:25.602
- She's beautiful, young, she has lots of friends.
- 00:28:25.602 --> 00:28:28.872
- They are all worried about her now and her family
- 00:28:28.872 --> 00:28:31.708
- Has been very proactive.
- 00:28:31.708 --> 00:28:33.110
- They've reached out to multiple news stations
- 00:28:33.110 --> 00:28:35.579
- To get the message out there that she is missing
- 00:28:35.579 --> 00:28:38.916
- Some.
- 00:28:39.149 --> 00:28:40.012
- Family and friends of hannah kobayashi arrive in los angeles
- 00:28:40.325 --> 00:28:43.628
- To begin searching,
- 00:28:43.628 --> 00:28:44.830
- Reaching out to police and filing a missing person report.
- 00:28:44.830 --> 00:28:47.699
- They also cover social media
- 00:28:47.699 --> 00:28:49.568
- And the news media asking for help.
- 00:28:49.568 --> 00:28:51.770
- It is determined that hannah's phone last pinged around 4 p.m.
- 00:28:51.770 --> 00:28:55.073
- Monday, november 11th at lax.
- 00:28:55.073 --> 00:28:57.209
- With no new activity.
- 00:28:57.209 --> 00:28:58.510
- The phone has not been found.
- 00:28:58.510 --> 00:29:00.212
- The family obtained surveillance footage
- 00:29:00.212 --> 00:29:02.113
- Showing hannah kobayashi
- 00:29:02.113 --> 00:29:03.415
- Around the metro train station near crypto.com arena.
- 00:29:03.415 --> 00:29:07.219
- In that video, she appears to be accompanied
- 00:29:07.219 --> 00:29:09.421
- By someone
- 00:29:09.421 --> 00:29:10.522
- The family posts on social media that the video shows
- 00:29:10.522 --> 00:29:12.891
- Hannah is not alone and, quote, does not appear to be in
- 00:29:12.891 --> 00:29:16.661
- Good condition.
- 00:29:16.661 --> 00:29:17.863
- Okay, a lot to figure out from that news report
- 00:29:17.863 --> 00:29:21.600
- To scott eicher, a founding member of the fbi
- 00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:25.403
- Cellular analysis team, former fbi
- 00:29:25.403 --> 00:29:28.607
- 22 years
- 00:29:28.607 --> 00:29:31.610
- Scott, let's talk about the pain.
- 00:29:31.610 --> 00:29:34.546
- The pain places her phone, which i believe is with her back
- 00:29:34.546 --> 00:29:39.117
- At l.a.x., but no new activity from the phone.
- 00:29:39.117 --> 00:29:43.455
- We just get a ping.
- 00:29:43.455 --> 00:29:45.323
- Then you've got footage showing her at the metro
- 00:29:45.323 --> 00:29:48.226
- Train station near the crypto.com arena.
- 00:29:48.226 --> 00:29:51.529
- What is that telling you?
- 00:29:52.097 --> 00:29:53.098
- I'm not sure if the surveillance video
- 00:29:53.098 --> 00:29:56.568
- At crypto arena is before or after the lax
- 00:29:56.568 --> 00:30:01.706
- Paying, alexis torres check which one is first.
- 00:30:01.706 --> 00:30:04.876
- That's important.
- 00:30:04.876 --> 00:30:06.211
- The crypto.com spotting is after she was at lax.
- 00:30:06.211 --> 00:30:10.649
- And how far is
- 00:30:10.982 --> 00:30:11.750
- Crypto arena from lax?
- 00:30:11.750 --> 00:30:15.053
- About ten miles.
- 00:30:15.053 --> 00:30:17.422
- Not very far.
- 00:30:17.422 --> 00:30:20.091
- Okay, so what about it, scott?
- 00:30:20.091 --> 00:30:22.160
- Her phone is paying to the airport.
- 00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:24.996
- Then ten miles away, she's at a train station at crypto arena.
- 00:30:24.996 --> 00:30:31.369
- Well,
- 00:30:31.603 --> 00:30:31.903
- We know
- 00:30:31.903 --> 00:30:33.104
- She went back to the airport to, try to get another flight
- 00:30:33.104 --> 00:30:35.440
- To new york, so that makes sense.
- 00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:38.576
- And i think there was a text
- 00:30:38.576 --> 00:30:40.078
- That she was charged to trying to charge her phone
- 00:30:40.078 --> 00:30:42.347
- At one of the places over by the grove.
- 00:30:42.347 --> 00:30:44.249
- What does lapd have to say?
- 00:30:44.249 --> 00:30:45.684
- Listen.
- 00:30:45.684 --> 00:30:46.785
- On friday, november 8th, 23 year old hana kobayashi.
- 00:30:46.785 --> 00:30:50.522
- Mr.. connecting flight from lax to new york, which,
- 00:30:50.522 --> 00:30:53.591
- The investigation determined was intentional.
- 00:30:53.591 --> 00:30:56.294
- Over the next few days,
- 00:30:56.294 --> 00:30:57.295
- She maintained
- 00:30:57.295 --> 00:30:58.396
- Contact with her family and was active on instagram.
- 00:30:58.396 --> 00:31:01.266
- However, the family last heard from hana on november 11th.
- 00:31:01.266 --> 00:31:04.636
- After receiving concerning text messages
- 00:31:04.636 --> 00:31:06.938
- And losing further contact, her family traveled to l.a.
- 00:31:06.938 --> 00:31:10.675
- On november 13th and filed a missing person report.
- 00:31:10.675 --> 00:31:13.778
- Alexis torres
- 00:31:14.145 --> 00:31:15.246
- I guess my understanding the family hannah's family
- 00:31:15.246 --> 00:31:18.183
- Vehemently disagrees with the lapd, saying her
- 00:31:18.183 --> 00:31:22.754
- Missing her connecting flight to nyc was intentional.
- 00:31:22.754 --> 00:31:26.157
- They think she just missed the flight
- 00:31:26.157 --> 00:31:28.093
- And they want it to travel well.
- 00:31:28.093 --> 00:31:30.628
- That's exactly right.
- 00:31:31.129 --> 00:31:31.997
- They they disagree with this.
- 00:31:31.997 --> 00:31:33.465
- They say that she missed her flight.
- 00:31:33.465 --> 00:31:35.500
- She was trying to get back.
- 00:31:35.500 --> 00:31:36.801
- She was trying to get on another flight.
- 00:31:36.801 --> 00:31:38.236
- She went back to lax
- 00:31:38.236 --> 00:31:39.738
- That she was trying to continue on because she had told them,
- 00:31:39.738 --> 00:31:42.707
- I'm going to go see my aunt, still go to new york.
- 00:31:42.707 --> 00:31:45.610
- And so they believe her that that's what she says.
- 00:31:45.610 --> 00:31:47.846
- They do not believe that this was an intentional
- 00:31:47.846 --> 00:31:50.181
- Missing of the flight and then hanging out
- 00:31:50.181 --> 00:31:51.816
- In los angeles for no reason.
- 00:31:51.816 --> 00:31:53.651
- Then an extremely bizarre twist.
- 00:31:53.651 --> 00:31:56.388
- After 11 days of searching for his daughter,
- 00:31:56.388 --> 00:31:58.623
- Ryan kobayashi is found dead around 4 a.m.
- 00:31:58.623 --> 00:32:01.593
- Near a parking structure at lax.
- 00:32:01.593 --> 00:32:03.695
- The los angeles medical examiner says the cause of death
- 00:32:03.695 --> 00:32:06.431
- Is multiple blunt force trauma injuries.
- 00:32:06.431 --> 00:32:10.168
- Police confirmed the 58 year old died
- 00:32:10.168 --> 00:32:12.137
- After jumping off the seventh floor of the parking structure.
- 00:32:12.137 --> 00:32:15.407
- The family issues
- 00:32:15.407 --> 00:32:16.574
- A statement expressing grief and asking for the public
- 00:32:16.574 --> 00:32:18.777
- To focus on the search for hana kobayashi.
- 00:32:18.777 --> 00:32:21.579
- Alexis torres, chuck, this is a crazy
- 00:32:21.579 --> 00:32:25.884
- A bizarre twist in the disappearance
- 00:32:25.884 --> 00:32:28.219
- Of the hawaiian beauty hana kobayashi so let me understand.
- 00:32:28.219 --> 00:32:32.123
- The father, who has previously been estranged from hana, flies
- 00:32:32.123 --> 00:32:38.063
- All the way to lax and starts looking for her
- 00:32:38.063 --> 00:32:41.466
- And then suddenly kills himself.
- 00:32:41.466 --> 00:32:45.203
- He does.
- 00:32:45.470 --> 00:32:46.037
- He flew to los angeles.
- 00:32:46.037 --> 00:32:47.172
- He went to the crypto.com center.
- 00:32:47.172 --> 00:32:49.908
- It's the stadium used to be the staples center in los angeles.
- 00:32:49.908 --> 00:32:52.644
- Downtown got together with a lot of
- 00:32:52.644 --> 00:32:54.512
- People, was on the press, on the news, trying to
- 00:32:54.512 --> 00:32:57.549
- Bring awareness for his daughter.
- 00:32:57.549 --> 00:32:58.917
- He searched for her.
- 00:32:58.917 --> 00:33:00.018
- He searched all parts
- 00:33:00.018 --> 00:33:01.119
- Of downtown, the downtown los angeles area.
- 00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:03.154
- This is one of the areas known as skid row.
- 00:33:03.154 --> 00:33:05.490
- He was down there looking for her, searching literally
- 00:33:05.490 --> 00:33:09.427
- Feet on the ground,
- 00:33:09.427 --> 00:33:10.728
- Looking for his daughter and all these really
- 00:33:10.728 --> 00:33:12.997
- Tough parts of town.
- 00:33:12.997 --> 00:33:14.432
- And he was searching.
- 00:33:14.432 --> 00:33:16.134
- He was talking to
- 00:33:16.134 --> 00:33:17.135
- Anybody who had maybe seen her, because this was
- 00:33:17.135 --> 00:33:19.204
- Where she'd been spotted
- 00:33:19.204 --> 00:33:20.438
- And trying to find her and was unable to do so,
- 00:33:20.438 --> 00:33:22.774
- Had never had contact with her.
- 00:33:22.774 --> 00:33:24.075
- And he spoke to the media and he said, i have so much regret.
- 00:33:24.075 --> 00:33:27.245
- I was very much estranged with her,
- 00:33:27.245 --> 00:33:29.147
- But all i want to do now
- 00:33:29.147 --> 00:33:30.715
- Is help to find her, to find my little daughter.
- 00:33:30.715 --> 00:33:33.585
- And he then went back to lax, where it was the last time
- 00:33:33.585 --> 00:33:37.155
- Where she was seen on video about,
- 00:33:37.155 --> 00:33:40.058
- 12 days before this.
- 00:33:40.525 --> 00:33:42.060
- And then
- 00:33:42.060 --> 00:33:43.228
- He went on top of a parking structure, seventh floor,
- 00:33:43.228 --> 00:33:45.697
- And he jumped off and his body was found
- 00:33:45.697 --> 00:33:47.632
- At 4:00 in the morning.
- 00:33:47.632 --> 00:33:49.501
- So straight out to irv brandt joining us, former u.s.
- 00:33:49.501 --> 00:33:53.638
- Marshal service.
- 00:33:53.638 --> 00:33:55.173
- Irv, how do i know he jumped and wasn't pushed?
- 00:33:55.173 --> 00:33:59.611
- Well, that's a good question, nancy.
- 00:34:00.378 --> 00:34:02.046
- It would appear that the authorities, the fbi
- 00:34:02.046 --> 00:34:05.717
- And the lapd and the coroner's office believe it's a suicide.
- 00:34:05.717 --> 00:34:10.088
- And i'm assuming that they have something,
- 00:34:10.088 --> 00:34:14.025
- Substantial, to back that up.
- 00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:17.795
- I would imagine it would probably be something
- 00:34:17.795 --> 00:34:20.298
- Like maybe video, from the parking garage
- 00:34:20.298 --> 00:34:23.902
- Or most secure parking garages do have video cameras.
- 00:34:23.902 --> 00:34:28.540
- And if he was alone and there's pictures of him stepping up on,
- 00:34:28.540 --> 00:34:33.278
- On the wall, you know, with no one else around.
- 00:34:33.278 --> 00:34:36.447
- Yeah, he was pushed.
- 00:34:36.447 --> 00:34:38.116
- Let me follow up on that.
- 00:34:38.116 --> 00:34:39.617
- Alexis torres, check the parking deck
- 00:34:39.617 --> 00:34:42.420
- Where the dad reportedly jumped to his death.
- 00:34:42.420 --> 00:34:46.324
- Was that connected to the airport or near the airport?
- 00:34:46.324 --> 00:34:49.827
- Yes. it was very near lax, and i believe that there.
- 00:34:49.827 --> 00:34:52.764
- Okay. what's there covered in surveillance?
- 00:34:52.764 --> 00:34:54.933
- Okay, alexis, i hope you're sitting down.
- 00:34:55.833 --> 00:34:57.769
- I've got another
- 00:34:57.769 --> 00:34:58.803
- Another, curveball to throw at you at nine mph.
- 00:34:58.803 --> 00:35:01.773
- What is the twin flames cult?
- 00:35:02.407 --> 00:35:06.344
- And what, if anything, does it have to do with hannah?
- 00:35:06.344 --> 00:35:10.215
- So the twin flames cult is an organization
- 00:35:11.082 --> 00:35:13.718
- That was started by this couple, and they are
- 00:35:13.718 --> 00:35:17.288
- They were in hawaii
- 00:35:17.288 --> 00:35:18.690
- And they have started this organization
- 00:35:18.690 --> 00:35:20.425
- Where they tell people that they have a twin flame,
- 00:35:20.425 --> 00:35:23.561
- And it's based on an old book from the 1800s
- 00:35:23.561 --> 00:35:25.930
- That so you match with somebody, you are a twin and you,
- 00:35:25.930 --> 00:35:28.666
- But you
- 00:35:28.666 --> 00:35:29.601
- Both have intense feelings for each other,
- 00:35:29.601 --> 00:35:31.336
- But they encourage people to not,
- 00:35:31.336 --> 00:35:33.204
- And they the founders of this cult,
- 00:35:33.204 --> 00:35:36.441
- They are the ones that select who the twin flame is for you.
- 00:35:36.441 --> 00:35:39.711
- So you say you are.
- 00:35:39.711 --> 00:35:41.212
- You join this and i say, we know who this person is,
- 00:35:41.212 --> 00:35:43.581
- But it can possibly be
- 00:35:43.581 --> 00:35:44.983
- Not even somebody within the organization.
- 00:35:44.983 --> 00:35:47.051
- So they say, this is your twin flame.
- 00:35:47.051 --> 00:35:48.453
- You must go after them.
- 00:35:48.453 --> 00:35:49.687
- You must make them love you and make them realize that this.
- 00:35:49.687 --> 00:35:52.757
- So hannah had followed
- 00:35:52.757 --> 00:35:54.559
- Quite a few people that were involved in this cult
- 00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:58.563
- On her instagram page, and people that this
- 00:35:58.563 --> 00:36:00.832
- Has been very suspicious that perhaps
- 00:36:00.832 --> 00:36:02.800
- That this had a connection because they are
- 00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:05.770
- Their headquarters for
- 00:36:05.770 --> 00:36:06.904
- Their organization, are listed in carlsbad, california,
- 00:36:06.904 --> 00:36:10.575
- Which is about 90 minutes south of los angeles,
- 00:36:10.575 --> 00:36:13.411
- Is just north of san diego, and this is where this is located.
- 00:36:13.411 --> 00:36:17.682
- There are other texts that are alarming.
- 00:36:17.682 --> 00:36:20.985
- And, karen, start joining us, renowned psychologist
- 00:36:20.985 --> 00:36:26.758
- There.
- 00:36:26.958 --> 00:36:27.659
- They're very disturbing to me
- 00:36:27.659 --> 00:36:28.726
- Because i don't think she wrote them.
- 00:36:28.726 --> 00:36:30.795
- They say things like, quote, matrix, underworld girl
- 00:36:30.795 --> 00:36:36.601
- And that she would never have written
- 00:36:36.601 --> 00:36:39.737
- Matrix underworld girl.
- 00:36:39.737 --> 00:36:42.340
- This is way beyond me.
- 00:36:42.340 --> 00:36:45.009
- The friend writes.
- 00:36:45.009 --> 00:36:47.345
- Did you get kat to say some dude
- 00:36:47.345 --> 00:36:49.314
- You were talking to you on the internet?
- 00:36:49.314 --> 00:36:50.848
- She says, no, we met.
- 00:36:50.848 --> 00:36:52.817
- I can't explain all of it.
- 00:36:52.817 --> 00:36:54.118
- Just be open with this. please.
- 00:36:54.118 --> 00:36:56.254
- And this is so beyond
- 00:36:56.254 --> 00:37:00.958
- Anything that hannah kobayashi would ever have written
- 00:37:00.958 --> 00:37:06.197
- That would be like me telling you
- 00:37:06.197 --> 00:37:08.266
- My mind had been hijacked
- 00:37:08.266 --> 00:37:10.868
- And i was going through some matrix shit.
- 00:37:10.868 --> 00:37:14.939
- Okay.
- 00:37:15.173 --> 00:37:15.506
- You would.
- 00:37:15.506 --> 00:37:16.107
- No, i did not send that.
- 00:37:16.107 --> 00:37:18.476
- And that's what her family and friends are getting.
- 00:37:18.476 --> 00:37:21.479
- This woman is gone.
- 00:37:21.479 --> 00:37:23.081
- She's not sending these texts.
- 00:37:23.081 --> 00:37:26.317
- Well, you know, nancy, if you sent that to me,
- 00:37:27.218 --> 00:37:29.987
- I would think to myself, either it's not you or something
- 00:37:29.987 --> 00:37:33.791
- Terrible has happened to you and your personality is changing.
- 00:37:33.791 --> 00:37:37.829
- And i think both of those are a possibility
- 00:37:37.829 --> 00:37:40.531
- For something awful is going on with hannah.
- 00:37:40.531 --> 00:37:43.668
- And in fact, it very well could be that she broke up
- 00:37:43.668 --> 00:37:47.805
- With the boyfriend. who knows?
- 00:37:47.805 --> 00:37:49.307
- Because there was someone else that she fell in love with,
- 00:37:49.307 --> 00:37:52.276
- And it was somebody that she met there,
- 00:37:52.276 --> 00:37:54.746
- Or she coincidentally met someone there
- 00:37:54.746 --> 00:37:57.448
- Who somehow manipulated her
- 00:37:57.448 --> 00:37:59.450
- And did things to her that she doesn't understand,
- 00:37:59.450 --> 00:38:02.353
- And she's losing her sense of self.
- 00:38:02.353 --> 00:38:04.889
- And that is a strong possibility to me,
- 00:38:04.889 --> 00:38:08.259
- That something is going on that we don't understand.
- 00:38:08.259 --> 00:38:11.896
- But she doesn't understand either.
- 00:38:11.896 --> 00:38:14.866
- Someone is manipulating her, coercing her
- 00:38:14.866 --> 00:38:17.935
- And making her do things that she would not normally do.
- 00:38:17.935 --> 00:38:21.372
- And she's confused, anxious, desperate.
- 00:38:21.372 --> 00:38:26.015
- And she's confused, anxious, desperate.
- 00:38:26.015 --> 00:38:26.076
- On november 15th, our missing
- 00:38:26.710 --> 00:38:28.245
- Persons unit assumed investigative responsibility.
- 00:38:28.245 --> 00:38:31.314
- Detectives have been diligently reviewing
- 00:38:31.314 --> 00:38:33.183
- Video surveillance and employing
- 00:38:33.183 --> 00:38:34.551
- Various investigative techniques to locate hannah
- 00:38:34.551 --> 00:38:37.621
- While her family has continued their personal search efforts.
- 00:38:37.621 --> 00:38:40.924
- Tragically, on november 24th, during the search
- 00:38:40.924 --> 00:38:43.593
- For his daughter, hannah's father
- 00:38:43.593 --> 00:38:45.128
- Ryan kobayashi was found deceased.
- 00:38:45.128 --> 00:38:47.931
- Preliminary findings indicate his death was by suicide.
- 00:38:47.931 --> 00:38:51.968
- Our hearts go out to the kobayashi family.
- 00:38:51.968 --> 00:38:54.004
- During this unimaginable time of grief.
- 00:38:54.004 --> 00:38:56.206
- We remain fully committed
- 00:38:56.206 --> 00:38:57.607
- To locating hannah and supporting the family
- 00:38:57.607 --> 00:39:00.010
- As they navigate their way through this tragedy.
- 00:39:00.010 --> 00:39:03.146
- This case has had so many twists and turns, it's hard
- 00:39:03.146 --> 00:39:05.715
- To make sense and determine what's fact and what's fiction.
- 00:39:05.715 --> 00:39:09.786
- Amongst the twin flames cult claims,
- 00:39:09.786 --> 00:39:14.825
- Now, conspiracy theories about african hackers.
- 00:39:14.825 --> 00:39:18.895
- Gregory morse.
- 00:39:18.895 --> 00:39:19.996
- Isn't it true you discover that twin flames cult
- 00:39:19.996 --> 00:39:24.401
- Is actually headquartered
- 00:39:24.968 --> 00:39:27.604
- Or somehow incorporate in carlsbad?
- 00:39:27.604 --> 00:39:32.209
- That's correct.
- 00:39:32.576 --> 00:39:33.710
- Ten flames.
- 00:39:33.710 --> 00:39:34.644
- When they filled out their nonprofit,
- 00:39:34.644 --> 00:39:38.482
- Forms for the government was, listed in an address
- 00:39:38.482 --> 00:39:42.185
- In carlsbad, california, which is in the san diego area.
- 00:39:42.185 --> 00:39:46.456
- And, you know, her conduct, her texts,
- 00:39:47.290 --> 00:39:51.628
- Her leaving the airport,
- 00:39:51.628 --> 00:39:53.296
- Going to do different things is in line with people
- 00:39:53.296 --> 00:39:56.366
- Who, you know, get whether the word is duped,
- 00:39:56.366 --> 00:39:59.636
- Whether get sucked in to a cult and they act very bizarre,
- 00:39:59.636 --> 00:40:04.674
- You know, it's, you know, jim jones was a real person.
- 00:40:04.674 --> 00:40:08.378
- Jim jones caused people
- 00:40:08.378 --> 00:40:09.579
- To do
- 00:40:09.579 --> 00:40:10.814
- Horrible things to themselves because they were desperate,
- 00:40:10.814 --> 00:40:12.582
- And they thought that was an answer.
- 00:40:12.582 --> 00:40:14.017
- And this could very much be what this, young lady is,
- 00:40:14.017 --> 00:40:17.954
- Dealing with right now, especially with a nonprofit
- 00:40:17.954 --> 00:40:21.391
- About finding your soulmate.
- 00:40:21.391 --> 00:40:23.727
- And we'll pick it for you.
- 00:40:23.727 --> 00:40:25.629
- I mean, this this screams of, you know, cult trying
- 00:40:25.629 --> 00:40:29.599
- To control in the vein of koresh or jim jones.
- 00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:33.470
- And it's, i mean, she could be very well down that rabbit hole.
- 00:40:33.470 --> 00:40:36.606
- Alexis torres,
- 00:40:36.606 --> 00:40:37.674
- Does she have any known connection to twin flames?
- 00:40:37.674 --> 00:40:42.145
- She follows people on her instagram account
- 00:40:43.046 --> 00:40:45.348
- That are involved with twin flames,
- 00:40:45.348 --> 00:40:47.050
- But right now, there's
- 00:40:47.050 --> 00:40:48.118
- No specific connection that she is involved in,
- 00:40:48.118 --> 00:40:50.253
- But she follows them on instagram.
- 00:40:50.253 --> 00:40:52.355
- What about the theory that african hackers
- 00:40:52.355 --> 00:40:56.059
- Are involved in her disappearance?
- 00:40:56.059 --> 00:40:57.994
- It's one thing to steal your money.
- 00:40:57.994 --> 00:40:59.496
- It's another thing to make you go completely missing
- 00:40:59.496 --> 00:41:02.098
- In the airport.
- 00:41:02.098 --> 00:41:03.400
- This is what people are worried about,
- 00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:05.135
- That somebody has hacked into her account.
- 00:41:05.135 --> 00:41:06.903
- She's saying, all of my money has been stolen.
- 00:41:06.903 --> 00:41:09.139
- My identity has been changed. i can't get anywhere.
- 00:41:09.139 --> 00:41:11.207
- She seems like she's very desperately
- 00:41:11.207 --> 00:41:13.310
- Upset about everything that's happening.
- 00:41:13.310 --> 00:41:14.744
- She hasn't sent screenshots of say,
- 00:41:14.744 --> 00:41:17.314
- You know, her bank account
- 00:41:17.314 --> 00:41:18.515
- Showing that she has no money, but she also isn't anywhere.
- 00:41:18.515 --> 00:41:21.151
- She's not going anywhere, getting any help doing anything,
- 00:41:21.151 --> 00:41:23.820
- Even calling her parents and saying her mom now saying,
- 00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:26.523
- I am here in los angeles, please come and get me.
- 00:41:26.523 --> 00:41:29.559
- So the characterization
- 00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:31.995
- Of her going missing at l.a.x.
- 00:41:31.995 --> 00:41:35.365
- Is not entirely true.
- 00:41:35.365 --> 00:41:38.068
- I think before his death, the father was on the right
- 00:41:38.068 --> 00:41:41.871
- Track.
- 00:41:41.871 --> 00:41:43.039
- We're not going to find her and some closet at l.a.x..
- 00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:46.776
- She's long been gone from lax, the l.a.
- 00:41:46.776 --> 00:41:51.414
- Airport.
- 00:41:51.414 --> 00:41:52.682
