  "account": "Melbourne family of missing woman Sally Contarino appeal for help after criticizing US police response. Sally, 26, with neurological disorder, vanished June 20 while returning to Melbourne after solo holiday in Las Vegas. Family disillusioned with Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's lacklustre, misleading investigation. 26-year-old's sister Amy blames police for scaling back efforts, not actively searching for her. Online community of supporters reportedly more diligent in tracking Sally's whereabouts. Contarino had functional neurological disorder; 120-day disappearance makes her a long-term missing person in US. Las Vegas police last saw her around 1pm near West Skye Canyon Drive, but claim it was incorrect. Family raises money to travel to US, urges Las Vegas police not to give up search for 26-year-old sister.",
