Kobayashi landed at LAX from Maui at 9.53 p.m. local time and was seen on surveillance footage leaving the aircraft dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt and tie-dye leggings. She missed her connecting flight to New York because of a tight 42-minute layover, her family said.

Ryan Kobayashi, who was playing an active role in the search for his daughter, was found dead in a parking lot near the Los Angeles airport, police said.
