Star Michelle Palumbo, 25, vanished from Reno, Nevada after being dropped off at the Reno Hilton Hotel and Casino in the early hours of a morning in 2000. About a year earlier she had moved from her family’s home in Tucson to live with her grandmother in the Reno area. In the weeks before she disappeared she reportedly used methamphetamine and may have been involved in sex work to support her habit.

An airport officer found her in a restricted area of Reno/Tahoe International Airport, disoriented and possibly hallucinating, saying she was looking for a younger sister who did not exist. The officer drove her to the Hilton; she was last seen near the hotel valet at about 1:30 a.m. Her car was found the next day illegally parked at the airport with most personal items inside, including her cell phone, a purse with $600, emails to the White House claiming the government was trying to murder her, a dark drawing of a bound woman, and two books on how to change identity. A possible sighting in Elko that December was never confirmed.

What new information or memories do readers have about Star or her movements in Reno that could help the investigation?
