Sally Contarino's family criticizes Las Vegas police as search stalls

Sally Contarino has been missing in Las Vegas since June 20 and police have scaled back search efforts.

Sally Contarino, a Melbourne woman with a neurological disorder, has been missing in Las Vegas for four months. Sally Contarino was supposed to fly home on June 20 but never returned.

Sally Contarino's family says Las Vegas police have stopped actively searching and are not investigating leads. Sally Contarino's sister Amy told the ABC they are disappointed police have scaled back efforts.

Police initially used sniffer dogs and drones but those searches ended as leads dried up. The family is now raising money to travel to the US and search themselves.

Police last located her near West Skye Canyon Drive on June 20, an area near the highway leading out of the city.
