As Hannah’s behavior became more puzzling, her phone was switched off, leaving her family in the dark.

Her mother, Brandi Yee, described the texts as “unlike her” and questioned if Hannah had even sent them.

“We can’t stop until we bring her home,” Brandi said in a tearful appeal.

On November 12, Ryan spoke to the media, declaring they would do “everything we can” to find her.

Tragically, just two days later, Ryan was found dead after jumping from a parking structure near LAX.
