Reports that connected Kobayashi’s disappearance to a potential green card marriage fraud surfaced as the inquiry progressed.
According to sources who spoke to LA Magazine, Kobayashi could have been defrauded of the scheme’s revenues.
Law authorities apparently received documents pertaining to her nuptials that were supposedly found by her mother.
On November 8, Kobayashi and her then-partner arrived at LAX with the intention of boarding a subsequent aircraft, according to LA Magazine.
More concerns about her circumstances were raised by reports that her legal spouse and his partner were going with them.
