FINAL UPDATE: DESPERATE SEARCH INTENSIFIES FOR MISSING AUSTRALIAN WOMAN, 26, AFTER SHE FAILED TO BOARD FLIGHT HOME – FAMILY REVEALS GROWING FEARS FOR HER SAFETY
Fears have been raised an Australian woman missing in the United States could be in ‘severe emotional distress’ and require urgent medical attention.
Melbourne woman Sally Grace Contarino, 26, intended to catch a bus from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and then a flight back home on June 21.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has released a new CCTV image of the young tourist while renewing an appeal to help find her.
‘She might possibly be in severe emotional distress and in need of medical assistance,’ a spokesman said.
‘Detectives are seeking the public’s assistance to locate Sally Grace Contarino who is missing and endangered.’
Ms Contarino is understood to have been on a solo trip and visited Las Vegas, Mount Charleston and Southern California.
She had purchased a Greyhound bus ticket from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to catch her flight home, but records revealed the ticket was never scanned.
Las Vegas Timbers Bar & Grill staff claimed to have seen her on June 19, saying she was in good spirits.
