Her words carry the weight of unresolved trauma — a reality often linked with conditions requiring long-term wellness programs and chronic stress management therapies, which are increasingly covered under private health insurance plans in the U.S. and Canada.
She also thanked “every single person who dedicated time and energy into looking for me,” calling the support overwhelming. “It means the world to me,” she said. “Thank you so much… from the bottom of my heart.”

A Father’s Desperate Search Ends in Tragedy
Hannah was last seen on November 8, 2024, captured on surveillance exiting LAX airport during a layover from Maui. She never made her connecting flight.
