Did Kobayashi go missing on purpose? Investigators revealed Kobayashi "knowingly" left LAX with her bag on Nov. 11, according to LAPD. She then traveled to Los Angeles Union Station — the main train station in the city — where she used her passport to buy a bus ticket for a destination near the California-Mexico border.

The photographer, 30, has been missing for over three weeks, perplexing investigators. Los Angeles police said they won’t extend the search to Mexico.

Hannah Kobayashi, 30, was seen on video obtained by US immigration officials crossing on foot into Mexico shortly after she landed in LA from Hawaii and deliberately missed her connecting flight to New York, officials said.
