A set up to support the family’s search efforts while helping defray the cost of Ryan Kobayashi’s funeral, led by Sydni and her mother, Brandi Yee, had raised more than $41, 000 by Wednesday evening.

Hannah Kobayashi made the payments to a man and woman on November 9, a day after she missed a connecting flight to New York and stayed back in Los Angeles.

The family of missing Hawaiian photographer Hannah Kobayashi say two suspicious Venmo payments she made to a man and woman around the time she vanished are being investigated by cops. Kobayashi, 30, made the payments on Nov.
