A former FBI agent warned Hannah Kobayashi, the 30-year-old Hawaiian woman who has been missing since Nov. 11, was likely taken by a stranger.

During an interview on NewsNation's "CUOMO," Jennifer Coffindaffer, a former FBI agent, and Dog the Bounty Hunter, a former bondsman and TV personality, speculated that Kobayashi was randomly kidnapped because she had her phone and was communicating with her family until she met a stranger.

"There was always communication with the family, she actually took special steps to charge [her phone] so it was working," Coffindaffer said.

She added that law enforcement is still reviewing surveillance footage from the Los Angeles International Airport and a train station where Kobayashi was last seen, but Coffindaffer fears the worst.

"I think she could be in the hands of a stranger taking advantage of her," Coffindaffer told NewsNation's "CUOMO."

Dog the Bounty Hunter, whose real name is Duane Chapman, revealed his daughter knew Kobayashi. He also believes Kobayashi was "snatched," pointing to the text messages sent from Kobayashi's phone before her disappearance, which her family said didn't align with her usual communication style.

"All women, beware. There are things happening that are unbelievable," he warned viewers.

Kobayashi's disappearance continues to captivate the nation. The most recent update from the Los Angeles Police Department is that they are investigating two Venmo payments that may potentially lead to Kobayashi's captors.
