THE family of Hannah Kobayashi is offering refunds to the hundreds of donors who raised more than $47,000 for their search efforts.

Kobayashi was safely located after going missing for a month when she vanished from Los Angeles after landing in the city on November 11 on a flight from Hawaii.

The 30-year-old had a layover in Los Angeles and was expected to catch a connecting flight to New York City but missed her 42-minute window to board.

A desperate search began as Kobayashi’s family flew into Los Angeles and reported her missing to police.

Dozens of volunteers pounded the city streets hunting for clues in the case, while hundreds more raised over $47,000 for the family’s GoFundMe fundraiser for their search effort.
