Tweet Facebook Mail On November 8, Hawaii woman Hannah Kobayashi boarded a flight from Maui to New York City, with a short layover in Los Angeles. But after missing her connecting flight, Hannah vanished. There were a few brief sightings of the 31-year-old in LA and family members have received concerning, out-of-character texts from her phone, but weeks later Hannah remains missing.

(Nine) Now the body of her father, Ryan Kobayashi, has been found in LA after he spent almost two weeks desperately searching for his daughter. Here's everything you need to know about Hannah's disappearance and the timeline of events since. November 8 Hannah flew from Maui to Los Angeles, landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) at 9.53pm local time. She was seen on surveillance footage exiting the aircraft in a black hoodie and colourful leggings but never made it onto her connecting flight to New York City. Her family said she missed it due to a tight 42-minute layover and was put on standby for a new flight. Her sister Sydni Kobayashi told CNN that Hannah had the same itinerary as an ex-boyfriend but they intended to part ways in New York City.

Her family said she spent time at a bookstore there. Hannah's aunt, Larie Pidgeon, told Fox News that her niece spent an hour and a half charging her phone at a Taschen bookstore and filled out a mailing list. "It's in her handwriting," she told the outlet on November 21. Sydni told CNN that Hannah also sent Venmo payments to two people that day. Hannah's family did not recognise the individuals' names. November 10 Hannah returned to the mall the following day and was visible in the background of footage from an event hosted at the Nike store there. She also posted a photo from the event on Instagram with a single emoji of a speech bubble showing an eye inside as the caption. The last photo Hannah Kobayashi shared to her Instagram account before her disappearance. (Instagram/Hannah Kobayashi) November 11 Three days after Hannah landed in LA, her family and friends began receiving concerning texts from her phone. In the messages, Hannah said she felt unsafe and claimed that someone was trying to steal her money and identity, according to her family. "I got tricked pretty much into giving away all my funds," one text to a friend read, followed by a second saying, "For someone I thought I loved." Another text sent to her aunt reportedly said: "I just finished a very intense spiritual awakening."

"It's weird to me because it doesn't sound like her, like there's just something off about it ... I don't know if it's her or if someone else was texting."

(Courtesy Sydni Kobayashi via CNN Newsource) Hannah was reportedly seen at LAX that same day, where Pidgeon said she spoke with an American Airlines ticketing agent in the hopes of getting a direct flight to New York City. The family later shared that they also sighted surveillance footage that placed Hannah at the Pico Metro Station near the airport just after 10pm that night. She reportedly left the station with an unidentified person and the family claim she did "not appear to be in good condition". Hannah's phone last pinged at LAX on November 11 and has been turned off ever since. November 12 Four days after Hannah touched down in LA, her family filed a missing person report with the Los Angeles Police Department. A social media campaign was launched and police petitioned the public for any information about her whereabouts. A post shared online described the 31-year-old as having brown hair and hazel eyes, freckles on her face and a tattoo of a knife on her arm. She's 5'10" (177cm) and weighs 140lbs (63kg). November 24 Hannah's father was found dead on Sunday, November 24, after almost two weeks spent searching the city for his missing daughter. LAPD confirmed his body was discovered in a carpark at a business near LAX around 4am local time. The suspected cause of death was not made public.

We haven't had contact for a while," he had told CNN days before his death. "I'm just trying to make up. I'm trying to get her back. "That's my main focus." Pidgeon told CNN the family was devastated by Ryan's death and said: "We also want to make it clear that Ryan died of a broken heart."

Montgomery's 21 lead Southern Miss past Alabama State 81-64

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Stacey Allaster , the U.S. Open's first female tournament director, will step down from that post after the 2025 edition of the Grand Slam event and shift from her job as the U.S. Tennis Association's chief executive of professional tennis to an advisory role with the organization. The USTA announced Allaster's job changes Wednesday and said she will help pick her successor as tournament director after the U.S. Open ends next September. Allaster became the U.S. Open tournament director in 2020, the first woman to hold that position in the history of a tournament first held in 1881. She has worked at the USTA since 2016 and before that was the chairman and CEO of the WTA women's professional tennis tour. “It's hard to put into words the impact Stacey has made on our sport,” seven-time Grand Slam singles champion Venus Williams posted on social media. “She’s been a true champion for the game, and has paved the way for more women in leadership. We’re all inspired by you and grateful to call you a friend. Excited to see you continue striving forward. Congratulations Stacey.” USTA CEO and executive director Lew Sherr called Allaster “a tireless advocate for gender equality, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire future generations in our sport.” ___ AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis The Associated Press

Brighton draws 0-0 with Brentford in lackluster Premier League encounter

Child betrayed A FUNCTIONING system would never have allowed monstrous Urfan Sharif to remain here, let alone leaving him free to torture and beat his helpless daughter to death. The Pakistani cab driver was a thief, a violent, controlling misogynist, a serial abuser of vulnerable women and children and known both to police and social ­services. The sort of criminal who should long ago have been frogmarched aboard a plane back to Islamabad . Instead he concocted a sham marriage to a Polish woman, knowing her country’s EU membership would underpin his right to remain in pre- Brexit Britain once his student visa expired. Then, as years went by, social services — adding yet another horrific case to their already infamous dossier of lethal blunders — predictably failed again and again. Despite being alerted to repeated suspicions of Sharif’s child abuse , little was ever done. READ MORE ON SARA SHARIF And, incredibly, it was on their recommendation that Sara, subject to a child protection order from birth , was somehow handed over to her rage-filled father after her parents split. Surrey social workers still did nothing even when a teacher reported bruises on her face . . . injuries which non-religious Sharif had tried to hide by sending her to school in a hijab. It is a testament to the little girl’s character that she remained so bubbly and engaging despite the systematic torture and savage beatings she was enduring at home from Sharif as her cruel stepmother Beinash Batool did nothing. But we are sick of hearing the platitudes and excuses from social services departments every time another ­harrowing case of child abuse and murder slips through their net. Most read in The Sun Sharif’s own barrister branded him a “scumbag” who “would be in the circles of hell for eternity”. Who, then, will pay a price for leaving little Sara to die in the clutches of this evil creature and his cold, callous wife? Grow steady IT is absolutely right to unclog the planning system and get huge numbers of new homes built for young people. Even if our vast immigration influx ceased overnight we would still have a massive deficit of properties compared with those needing them. But the Government must use caution. Yes, local councils may need to be forced to accept a big increase in developments. And, true, some Green Belt land is far from idyllic countryside. It can surely be built on as a last resort. But Labour must not throw the baby out with the bathwater. If ministers override Nimby locals and their self-interested councils and MPs, they must not do so lightly.

Penn condemns professor’s support for alumnus charged with killing CEO - The Daily PennsylvanianRichmond Edem Kpotosu, the newly elected Member of Parliament for Ho Central, has vowed to propel his constituency forward under the administration of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). During a recent thank-you health walk with constituents, Kpotosu emphasized the significance of the NDC’s victory, calling it a strong affirmation for the people of Ghana. Reflecting on the NDC’s track record, Kpotosu highlighted several key initiatives that have benefited the region in the past, including the provision of portable drinking water to local communities, the creation of opportunities for the youth, and advancements in addressing chronic power shortages (Dumsor). He also mentioned the construction of educational facilities such as the E-Blocks and the expansion of healthcare services through the development of hospitals. Kpotosu drew comparisons to the administration of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, asserting that the previous government failed to adequately address critical infrastructure needs during their time in power. In his speech, Kpotosu reaffirmed his commitment to addressing the challenges facing the Ho Central constituency, including improved infrastructure, economic opportunities, and better access to social services. He pledged to ensure that all communities within the constituency benefit from transformative development. Additionally, Kpotosu promised to make himself highly accessible to constituents. He revealed plans to establish an office space for administrative work, offering a platform where residents can raise their concerns and work with him to find solutions. His focus, he emphasized, is on being a hands-on and responsive representative for the people of Ho Central.

THE United States Peace Corps recently trained students from the Philippine Science High School (PSHS) System for planning and implementing sustainable, science-driven climate solutions in their schools and communities. During the “Building Student Volunteer Leaders for Climate Change Initiatives” workshop last month in Iloilo City, 36 students from PSHS campuses nationwide trained on conceptualizing, planning and prototyping climate-change solutions. They are expected to implement these projects following consultations with their local communities, exemplifying volunteerism and the role youth can play in the fight against disruptive effects of climate uncertainties. Funded by the US Agency for International Development and co-facilitated by climate-change expert-facilitators from “SEED4COM,” the training was part of the US Peace Corps’ broader commitment in addressing global climate challenges by collaborating with host country-partners and integrating climate-change adaptation in USAID’s program and training activities. “We are partnering with the PSHS System to tap the potential of STEM [or science, technology, engineering and mathematics] education when applied to climate action,” said Country Director Marguerite Roy of the Peace Corps. “I am excited to see... participating students [building on this training, bringing their projects to life, and influencing] others to become agents of change.” Student-participants, together with 16 PSHS System faculty members, eight Peace Corps volunteers and their work partners, also had discussions and field visits to local climate resilience projects: the Leganes Integrated Katunggan EcoPark, Climate Field School, and Orchard Valley Farm to deepen their knowledge on climate change, biodiversity conservation, disaster-risk reduction and volunteerism. “This program provides a structured framework for advocacy, which will be incorporated in our climate action plan,” said Executive Director Ronnalee Orteza of the PSHS System. For him, youth involvement is key: “We cannot afford to wait until it’s too late.” The US Peace Corps-sponsored training supports “Project Planet Lemniscate:” a PSHS System initiative that uses project-based learning and design thinking in its campuses that empower students to develop innovative solutions for climate change. The workshop also served as a platform for PSHS System students to collaborate with experts and fellow volunteers, receive feedback on their project proposals, and refine their project prototypes.Trump stays silent as MAGA implodes over Musk and Vivek's shock immigration stance

The large mysterious drones reported flying over parts of New Jersey in recent weeks appear to avoid detection by traditional methods, like helicopters and radio, according to a state lawmaker briefed Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security. In a post on the social media platform X, Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia described the drones as up to 6 feet in diameter and sometimes traveling with their lights switched off. The Morris County Republican was among several state and local lawmakers who met with state police and Homeland Security officials to discuss the spate of sightings that range from the New York City area through New Jersey, westward into parts of Pennsylvania, including over Philadelphia. The devices do not appear to be being flown by hobbyists, Fantasia wrote. Dozens of mysterious nighttime flights started last month and have raised growing concern among residents and officials. Part of the worry stems from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility; and over President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use, but they are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified. Most, but not all, of the drones spotted in New Jersey were larger than those typically used by hobbyists. The number of sightings has increased in recent days, though officials say many of the objects seen may have been planes rather than drones. It’s also possible that a single drone has been reported more than once. Gov. Phil Murphy and law enforcement officials have stressed that the drones don’t appear to threaten public safety. The FBI has been investigating and has asked residents to share any videos, photos or other information they may have. Two Republican Jersey Shore-area congressmen, U.S. Reps. Chris Smith and Jeff Van Drew, have called on the military to shoot down the drones. However, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters Wednesday that “our initial assessment here is that these are not drones or activities coming from a foreign entity or adversary.” Many municipal lawmakers have called for more restrictions on who is entitled to fly the unmanned devices. At least one state lawmaker proposed a temporary ban on drone flights in the state. “This is something we’re taking deadly seriously. I don’t blame people for being frustrated,” Murphy said earlier this week. A spokesman for the Democratic governor said he did not attend Wednesday’s meeting. Republican Assemblyman Erik Peterson, whose district includes parts of the state where the drones have been reported, said he also attended Wednesday’s meeting at a state police facility in West Trenton. The session lasted for about 90 minutes. Peterson said DHS officials were generous with their time, but appeared dismissive of some concerns, saying not all the sightings reported have been confirmed to involve drones. So who or what is behind the flying objects? Where are they coming from? What are they doing? “My understanding is they have no clue,” Peterson said. A message seeking comment was left with the Department of Homeland Security. Most of the drones have been spotted along coastal areas and some were recently reported flying over a large reservoir in Clinton. Sightings also have been reported in neighboring states. James Edwards, of Succasunna, New Jersey, said he has seen a few drones flying over his neighborhood since last month. “It raises concern mainly because there’s so much that’s unknown,” Edwards said Wednesday. “There are lots of people spouting off about various conspiracies that they believe are in play here, but that only adds fuel to the fire unnecessarily. We need to wait and see what is really happening here, not let fear of the unknown overtake us.”There’s no such thing as a fairytale in brutal, brilliant world of sport – ask Pep Guardiola & imploding Man City giants

Bill offering wildfire survivors relief from taxes and fees passes Congress

OutKick contributor Riley Gaines joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss her reaction to the 'alarming' number of medals lost as 200 female golfers sign a letter to the LPGA raising concerns over its transgender athlete policy. The state of Washington could be one of the first in the nation to introduce a third gender category for high school sports in order to prevent biological males from competing against girls. The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) announced a proposal to create a separate open division for transgender athletes to compete in. One of the amendments proposes the creation of a girl's division and an open division in which athletes could participate, regardless of whether their gender identity matches their assigned sex at birth. "In order to maintain fair and equitable competition, participation in girls' sports and girls' divisions of sports is restricted to students who were assigned female at birth. The purpose of this policy is to offer clarity with respect to the participation of trans and gender-diverse student-athletes. Additionally, this policy encourages a culture in which student-athletes can compete in a safe and supportive environment, free of discrimination," the proposal reads. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The state's high school athletes are currently allowed to compete based on their gender identity rather than their biological sex. The WIAA policy states that each athlete will participate in programs "consistent with their gender identity or the gender most consistently expressed," and there are not even any medical or legal requirements. Bills that would prohibit transgender girls from participating in girls' and women's sports have been introduced but not passed. Washington is one of 25 states in the U.S. to have laws in place to protect trans inclusion in girls' and women's sports. The proposal comes weeks after a school board in the state voted to send a letter to the WIAA pleading for it to reconsider its current rules that allow trans athletes to compete against females. The Central Valley School Board, which oversees schools in Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake, Washington , voted to send a message to the WIAA over the issues after much debate at a school board meeting. The resolution, titled "Supporting Equity and Safety in Female Sports," claims that the entire board is comprised of female members who have either competed in athletics themselves or have daughters who competed in athletics. One of the women, an unidentified current cross-country runner, shared her experience during the hearing. "When I ran cross-country for Greenacres Middle School, a boy who was biologically male but identified as female competed on the girls' team," she said. "While I respect everyone's right to participate in sports, the situation made me question the fairness of competing of someone who had the physical advantage associated with male biology." In May, a trans athlete competed in a girls' cross-country championship and won. Veronica Garcia, who was previously known as Devina Brown and Donovan Brown, won the 400m heat race in the girl's division with a time of 55.59 seconds. The second-place runner finished at 58.83 seconds. In the finals, Garcia won with a time of 55.75 seconds, a full second ahead of the second-place runner who finished with 56.75. SJSU TRANSGENDER VOLLEYBALL SCANDAL: TIMELINE OF ALLEGATIONS, POLITICAL IMPACT AND A RAGING CULTURE MOVEMENT The victory prompted outrage by women's rights activists, including former NCAA swimmer and OutKick contributor Riley Gaines. The idea of a third gender category in high school and college sports to accommodate trans athletes has been floated as opposition to trans inclusion has stirred outrage across the country over the last year. Deep-blue states like Washington, as well as Oregon and California, which also have laws in place to protect trans inclusion, have been considered the places where a third category makes the most sense due to the influx of trans athletes competing against females in those states. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Steve Garvey, the former California Senate candidate and Los Angeles Dodgers World Series champion, previously told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that he would support President-elect Trump's ban on trans athletes in girls' and women's sports, and that he believes trans athletes should compete against each other. In Riverside, California, Martin Luther King High School is facing a student uprising over the issue after two cross-country runners wore T-shirts that read "Save Girls' Sports," in response to a trans athlete taking a varsity roster spot from a female athlete. The two female athletes filed a lawsuit against the school, and another teammate gave an impassioned plea during a board meeting, which went viral on social media, to remove the trans athlete from the team. Now, hundreds of the school's students have committed to wearing the T-shirts every week. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X , and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter .
