The father of Hannah Kobayashi, a Hawaii woman who suddenly vanished after flying to New York, has reportedly killed himself after "living his worst nightmare," searching for his "trafficked" daughter in Los Angeles for the last two two weeks.

"Ryan Kobayashi flew to Los Angeles immediately after learning of Hannah's disappearance. Tragically, Ryan is no longer with us, leaving us all heartbroken and at a loss for words," the description of a GoFundMe page set up for Ryan's fiancé, Li, read.

"He has been living his absolute worst nightmare, since Hannah's disappearance, and now, with his passing, our family is grappling with unimaginable grief," the page continued.

Ryan's body was found in a parking structure near Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday, according to KTLA.

Meanwhile, Hannah remains missing, and her family fears she may have been trafficked.

The RAD Movement, a nonprofit that supports families of missing people, is "urgently pleading with the public to maintain focus on the search for her."

"Hannah IS still actively missing and is believed to be in imminent danger," the nonprofit added, per KTLA. "It is crucial for everyone to remain vigilant in their efforts to locate Hannah."
