Search underway for Australian woman who vanished after sending message about going for a hike near Las Vegas

An Australian tourist visiting Las Vegas has been missing for three weeks, leaving loved ones increasingly worried about her safety.

Sally Grace Contarino, a 26-year-old from Melbourne, Australia, vanished after reportedly telling a friend in a June 20 message that she planned to go hiking, according to a New York Post report.

Authorities said Contarino flew out of Melbourne on June 13, and by June 18 she had confirmed to a relative that she had checked in at her hotel in downtown Las Vegas, KLAS reported.

The Australian Consulate in Los Angeles contacted Las Vegas Metropolitan Police after Victoria Police in Australia filed a missing-person report, according to the local station.

Red Rock Search & Rescue, a Las Vegas-based nonprofit, also shared an alert on social media, saying Contarino “did not return home as scheduled” following a trip that reportedly included Las Vegas, Mt. Charleston and Southern California.
