What Did the Reports Say?
As per various reports, Kobayashi, who had been traveling to New York with Muniz-Miranda and Cacace, reportedly married in secret. However, the case has since drawn FBI attention as a potential green card scam gone awry.
Hannah Kobayashi, who hadn’t informed her family about her secret marriage, later claimed she was deceived into “pretty much giving away all my funds” by “someone I thought I loved” before vanishing to Mexico.
A former co-worker from Haiku, Hawaii, revealed “My other co-worker knew about it but kept it quiet, as Hannah requested. Now, it’s all out in the open.
“Maybe was jealous of Hannah and Alan.” Another friend confirmed the marriage but doubted it was a romantic relationship.

What Did Kobayashi’s Mother Say?
Meanwhile, Kobayashi’s mother reportedly uncovered documents suggesting her daughter had consulted an immigration lawyer after her disappearance.
The documents were handed over to police and the FBI. The magazine also reported suspicions that Muniz-Miranda may have orchestrated the alleged marriage scheme.
Marriage fraud is a federal offense punishable by up to 5 years in prison. Muniz-Miranda’s background includes a 2021 arrest in Texas for providing false identity information to police and a 2020 DUI arrest in Haiku.
Sara Azari, the Kobayashi family’s attorney, emphasized the lack of definitive evidence supporting the marriage.
What Exactly Happened?
Kobayashi’s disappearance began when she voluntarily disembarked a plane, panicked, and sent alarming texts to her family. On November 12, she purchased a bus ticket in Los Angeles and crossed into Tijuana via the San Ysidro entry point.
Authorities later declared her a voluntary missing person after footage showed her crossing into Mexico alone. A source close to Kobayashi said her behavior was uncharacteristic.
Amun Muniz-Miranda
Muniz-Miranda’s legal troubles continue, with an active case in Texas for failure to identify himself properly in 2021 and back in 2020, he was also arrested in Haiku for a DUI. A clerk at Ellis County Court in Texas said that his case for lying about his identity is still active but he did not show up for an arraignment in 2021.
Sources close to Hannah said they had been suspicious of Muniz-Miranda’s actions. “He [Muniz-Miranda] was the guy to introduce Hannah to this other lifestyle – finding other sources of income,” like get-rich-quick schemes, a co-worker said.
Meanwhile, sources in Haiku confirmed the presence of a significant Argentinian community and that Cacace had lived there for years. He is rumored to have a girlfriend, but it remains unclear if authorities have located him.
