The theory that Hannah Kobayashi was involved in a scam marriage prior to her disappearance has emerged as a significant development in her case. The sources suggest that this theory originated from discoveries made by Hannah's mother, Brandi Yee, who found immigration documents in her daughter's home. Here is what the sources tell us about this theory:

Possible Green Card Marriage: According to Los Angeles Magazine, the documents found by Hannah's mother suggested that Hannah may have participated in a marriage for the purpose of helping an Argentinian man, Alan Cacace, obtain a green card

Allegations of Financial Exploitation: Sources cited in Los Angeles Magazine allege that Hannah was scammed out of her payment for participating in this marriage scheme by her ex-boyfriend

Hannah’s Text Message: This allegation is seemingly corroborated by a text message sent by Hannah to a friend on November 11, in which she states, "I got tricked pretty much into giving away all my funds. From someone I thought I loved"

Presence of Individuals on Flight: Los Angeles Magazine reported that Hannah flew from Maui to Los Angeles with Cacace, Cacace's girlfriend, and Hannah's ex-boyfriend. The ex-boyfriend continued to New York, while Hannah stayed in Los Angeles.

Family’s Knowledge of the Marriage: Further complicating the narrative, online commentators claim that Hannah’s family was aware of the marriage as early as November 16. A screenshot of a text message allegedly sent by Hannah's sister, Sydney, to an unidentified recipient on November 16 includes a photo of Hannah and Cacace on a beach and the statement, "this is our confirmation and Lead now".

Family's Denial of Knowledge: However, the family, through their attorney, has denied publicly announcing any information about the alleged marriage because they did not have sufficient evidence to verify its legitimacy [12, 13]. The family attorney has characterized the information as "one of many leads we are actively investigating".

The scam marriage theory has ignited controversy and added another layer of complexity to an already perplexing case. There are conflicting accounts regarding the family’s knowledge of the alleged marriage and their motivations for either concealing or denying information. The sources also present a muddled timeline, with differing accounts of when certain events occurred and who was present.
