New twist in missing person case |
The case of a Hawaii woman whose disappearance was the subject of a large search effort in Los Angeles took a dramatic turn this week when police officials said they reviewed footage of her crossing into Mexico. |
What we know now: Hannah Kobayashi, 30, of Maui, walked through the U.S.-Mexico border in California voluntarily on Nov. 12, days after she missed her connecting flight to New York, Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said Monday. He said she has now been classified as a voluntary missing person and the department will halt its investigation while she is out of the country. 🔎 See the latest updates. | Hannah Kobayashi went missing in Los Angeles on Nov. 11, but apparently walked across the border to Mexico the next day.

Martial law? No martial law |
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law Tuesday, accusing the country's main opposition party of being overly sympathetic to North Korea − before quickly backing down under pressure. Opposition leaders called the move unconstitutional, and the country's Parliament quickly passed a motion requiring the declaration to be lifted. Within hours, Yoon said he would reverse course. The White House National Security Council said it was "seriously concerned." 👉 See the latest. | Police stand guard in front of the main gate of the National Assembly in Seoul, South Korea, on Tuesday after President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law.
