Sally Grace Contarino

Timeline — Before She Disappeared

• Sally, a frequent traveller to the US, was on a solo holiday that had already included stops in Palm Springs, California, before she arrived in the Las Vegas area.
• June 17, 3:46 PM: Newly surfaced footage — recorded on an influencer's Meta smart glasses and shared publicly on June 28 — appears to show Sally outside the 7-Eleven, 4880 Boulder Highway, Las Vegas. In the clip a man approaches her and asks for her number. She tells him she has a boyfriend. He apologizes and asks if she's waiting for her boyfriend, to which she replies, "No, I'm just gonna have a cigarette and go inside." He then gets in his car and leaves. Police say they have no indication the man is connected to her disappearance and confirm the footage was provided to them before it was posted online.
• June 19, ~8:00 PM: Sally texted friends: "I'm about to hike up Lone Mountain then go home — I fly back tomorrow."
• June 19, 8:45–10:28 PM: CCTV placed Sally at Timbers Bar & Grill, a locals bar near UNLV. She arrived on foot, sat at the bar, had drinks, played gaming machines, spoke with other patrons, and used an ATM. Staff, including manager Jocelyn Zeigler-Arthur, described her as "quiet" and appearing calm, content, and "not under any stress." She left alone around 10:28 PM, walking eastbound on Cheyenne Street.
• Early hours, June 20: CCTV captured Sally returning to The Bungalows Hostel in downtown Las Vegas. There is no known CCTV of her leaving the hostel again.
• June 20 morning: Property staff confirmed Sally checked out remotely via the hostel's website/app and left her luggage behind, saying she'd return for it. She then visited a nearby café she regularly used in Las Vegas, ordering breakfast and a protein smoothie.
• June 20, ~1:02 PM: CCTV captured Sally leaving Smith's Marketplace in Las Vegas. Police believe she then boarded a local bus and was last seen near 9700 W. Skye Canyon Drive, consistent with the Mount Charleston / Lone Mountain corridor northwest of the Strip.
• June 20, ~1100 GMT-7 (approx.): Last contact with her family in Australia.
• A Greyhound bus ticket she had purchased for Las Vegas → Los Angeles was never scanned. No CCTV shows her boarding that bus.
• June 21: Sally failed to board her scheduled international flight home to Melbourne. Her family reported her missing shortly after.

Investigation & Search Efforts Updated

• LVMPD has opened a missing persons case and classified Sally as an "endangered missing adult" who "might possibly be in severe emotional distress and in need of medical assistance."
• Police have recovered Sally's luggage from the hostel.
• Search dogs (K9 units) have been deployed using her clothing to try to pick up her scent, alongside a grid search of the Lone Mountain / Mount Charleston area. Sniffer dogs have followed the tourist's scent from Smith's Marketplace to an area several kilometres away closer to the edge of town.
• Red Rock Search & Rescue is assisting LVMPD and has publicly appealed for sightings.
• Hospitals across the Nevada region have been contacted and asked to check patient records.
• Online sleuthing communities (including Websleuths, where Sally's family has been posting directly) have called for a focused search of Lone Mountain.
• Sally's two sisters have travelled from Australia to Las Vegas to assist authorities.
• As of this update, Sally has not been located. The search is entering its third week.
