Overview
- Las Vegas Metropolitan Police opened a missing-person case this week and circulated a flyer asking residents and visitors to come forward with information.
- Her family last heard from Contarino on June 20, and they filed a missing-person report after she did not board a scheduled flight home from the United States.
- Social-media photos and hostel records place her in the California–Nevada region, with a final public image taken at Mount Charleston about 60km east of Las Vegas.
- Investigators have contacted airports, hospitals and park rangers to check flight manifests, admission records and park areas, and police asked people with tips to email MissingPersons@lvmpd.com or contact LVMPD directly.
- Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade declined to comment at the family’s request, and authorities say the search remains active as loved ones await any new leads.
