An Australian tourist vanished after sending a final Facebook message saying she was heading out for a hike, with the 26-year-old now missing for more than three weeks.
Sally Grace Contarino was last heard from on June 20, when she told a male friend on Facebook she was going to Lone Mountain for a hike, according to a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police report obtained by 8 News Now.
Investigators said it is not known whether Contarino was with anyone at the time.
Police have previously warned she “might possibly be in severe emotional distress and in need of medical assistance.”
Authorities said she was last known near 9700 West Skye Canyon Drive at around 1 p.m. on June 20.
The area in northwest Las Vegas is close to a busy intersection with fast-food restaurants, a gas station, and other businesses.
The missing persons report was first made to Victoria Police, which then notified Interpol US.
The Deputy Consul-General from the Australian Consulate in Los Angeles also contacted Las Vegas Metro Police, according to the report.
Contarino’s family, including her sister, has since traveled to Las Vegas to find her and learn what happened.

Contarino appeared in the mysterious video outside a 7-Eleven on Boulder Highway near Flamingo Road, where a man known as “@epicdamianpov” approached her while she smoked a cigarette.
In the clip, he says, “Hello.
Sorry, I saw you.
I just saw that you were very beautiful.
I was wondering if I could get your number, by chance.”
Contarino smiles before replying, “I have a boyfriend.”
“Oh, okay, yeah, of course,” the man says before walking away.
The video, later shared by “Real Vegas Locals,” had been viewed more than 814,000 times on Instagram as of July 13.
Police said Contarino was last seen wearing a gray-blue sweatshirt, jean shorts, black-and-white shoes and carrying a purse.
She is described as having brown hair and brown eyes, standing about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing around 130 pounds.
