She was last seen with an unidentified person, and her phone went silent by November 11, just days before her father arrived to help search.

That same day, family members received cryptic and disturbing messages from Hannah’s phone, claiming a ‘spiritual awakening’ and ominous hints about her situation.

One message read, “Deep Hackers wiped my identity, stole all of my funds, & have had me on a mind f*** since Friday.”

Another message claimed, “I got tricked pretty much into giving away all my funds … For someone I thought I loved.”

Hannah’s journey to LA was already complicated—she traveled with her ex-boyfriend, but they weren’t seated together on the flight.

And in the midst of the chaos, she sent a final message to her aunt: “I just finished a very intense spiritual awakening.”

Yet, as the family mourned, the internet buzzed with rampant conspiracy theories about both Ryan’s death and Hannah’s disappearance.

Some theories ranged from cult brainwashing to cyber-attacks, while others claimed Ryan himself orchestrated his daughter’s abduction.

The family was left reeling, and Hannah’s aunt, Larie Pidgeon, didn’t hold back when speaking out against the online frenzy.

Larie’s thoughts on theories unveiled.

“It’s bullt! It’s such bullt!” she told The New York Post on Monday, her voice heavy with frustration.

“If Ryan is looking at all this s***, imagine that weighing on him?” she said.

“He broke.”

Larie continued, explaining the emotional toll the search had on Ryan, describing him as a “big, giant teddy bear” who was “sensitive” and deeply affected by the possibilities.

“Imagine looking in places like Skid Row, picturing his daughter being sex trafficked, not getting sleep. He just broke,” she added.

Despite Hannah’s troubling messages, Larie emphasized that the family believed something more sinister happened.

Aunt’s theories exposed.

Her family’s heartache deepens with a bombshell theory suggesting the death of her father, Ryan, may have been caused by the relentless online conspiracy theories surrounding her vanishing.

“We’re the kind of family that if you f*** up, you ask for help,” Larie insisted.

advertisement

  via Getty Images  

“She wouldn’t hide something.”

advertisement

  via Getty  

Larie’s theory? Hannah was likely kidnapped while attempting to book a flight at LAX, not the victim of a self-inflicted spiral.

As of now, Hannah remains missing, and the family’s search continues amid a growing storm of online speculation, with Larie pointing the finger at those contributing to the toxic environment.
