Police say a Hawaiʻi woman who disappeared after landing in Los Angeles was seen crossing into Mexico alone with her luggage but has not reached out to her family. Officials say there is no evidence she's being trafficked or a victim of foul play. Police say the case is now classified as a "voluntary missing person."
