“Five days without hearing from my cousin is red flags and alarm bells. She doesn’t go more than 48 hours without speaking to me or her mom. … That girl is more like a big sister to me,” Singh told local media outlets.

Meanwhile, she said Chanel Maya Banks’ husband remains uncooperative with the family and authorities to help locate his wife.

“He’s not willing to help LAPD. He’s not willing to help me or her mom find her. He is removing flyers off of posts and cars,” Danielle-Tori Singh added.
