Kobayashi's family continues to search for the missing 31-year-old in Los Angeles more than a week after her disappearance. See the timeline of events.

The 31-year-old sent out-of-character messages to her friends and family about an "intense spiritual awakening" she experienced.

“She boarded a plane on Nov 8th from Maui to LAX. She landed in LAX around 10 p.m. to make a connecting flight to New York City,” Laire Pidgeon, Kobayashi’s aunt said. Kobayashi was seen de-boarding an American Airlines flight from Maui to LAX, but she never made that connecting flight to New York, according to her family.
