“LAPD detectives worked tirelessly, and their efforts have brought us to this new piece of the puzzle,” she told TMZ.

“But I also want to be clear — this search is not over. Knowing Hannah crossed the border does not provide the answers I need, nor does it ease the heartbreak I feel.”

Larie is particularly alarmed by Hannah’s complete disconnection from her phone, social media, and her world.

“This is not who she is,” she said.
