She is thought to have vanished near Mount Charleston, a secluded mountain town outside of Las Vegas.
CCTV from Timbers Bar & Grill, showed the tourist walking down the street the day before her mysterious disappearance.

Sally had reportedly booked a bus ticket from Vegas to LA so she could catch her flight.
But records reportedly revealed that the ticket was never scanned, suggesting she didn’t board the bus.
Sally is described as slim, with fair skin, brown hair and brown eyes.
Timbers Bar & Grill manager Jocelyn Zeigler-Arthur claimed that the area the Aussie woman was staying in was “terrible”, adding: “It is not great for a girl alone.”
She said Sally had been “quiet” but seemed “happy”.
The well-travelled woman has travelled to the US several times before, the Herald Sun reported.
She has visited Palm Springs, California and Las Vegas, Nevada in previous trips.
The LA Police Department has launched an investigation into her disappearance.
Local hospitals have been asked to check records for Sally and to stay alert
