Conjecture and Disputation After it was discovered that the family had donated money to pay for the search even after police concluded Kobayashi was not missing.
The matter gained further attention and investigation. The family responded to criticism by restating their opinion that her disappearance was unusual and thanking law police for their efforts.
In a statement posted online by NewsNation journalist Brian Entin, the family expressed their sincere gratitude for the promptness and commitment of law authorities in looking into Hannah’s disappearance.
“Our family encourages everyone to keep searching and is still optimistic that Hannah is safe. We want answers and a solution.
