«Breaking News» Fears grow for daughter of millionaire, 22, who vanished from New Zealand ‘party hostel’

Dressed in a casual black dress and trainers this is the last known sighting of a British backpacker missing in New Zealand.

On Thursday, police released a CCTV image of Grace Millane, 22, leaving Sky City, in Auckland's CBD, at around 7.15pm on December 1 (pictured)

Grace Millane, 22, from Essex, in England, landed in Auckland two weeks ago on her first solo travelling trip.

She was staying in a 'party hostel' and was in regular contact with her family and friends until Saturday night - the day before her birthday.

After a missing persons report was filed, New Zealand police released this image of Ms Millane at a late night casino in Auckland.

She appears to be alone and is wearing a pink wristband - possibly from a club night - and flat trainers, thought to be Converse. 

Police say they are starting to piece together Ms Millane's last known movements.

On Thursday, they released a CCTV image of the backpacker at Sky City, in Auckland's CBD, at around 7.15pm. 

Detective Inspector Scott Beard said: 'Clearly this is a very stressful time for Grace’s family and the longer she remains missing the more our concern grows for her safety and wellbeing.

'It's important that anyone who recognises Grace from this photo or saw her on Saturday night contacts Police immediately.' 

The 22-year-old, originally from Essex in south-east England, travelled to Auckland two weeks ago

Ms Millane's father, David Millane, 60, a millionaire property developer, is in the process of flying to New Zealand to help with the search.  

Ms Millane's roommates at Base Backpackers Hostel, on Queen Street, in the heart of Auckland, said they last saw her on Saturday.  

Her belongings remain at the hostel. 

The family said it was 'completely out of character' for Ms Millane to go silent as they would speak with her most days, BBC reported. 

Ms Millane's brother, Michael, said she had travelled to Peru as part of an organised group for six weeks but had not travelled on her own - until she arrived in New Zealand two weeks ago. 

'It was what she wanted - she wanted to see the world,' Mr Millane said.

The family said it was 'completely out of character' for Ms Millane to go silent as they would speak with her most days 

'We are really, really worried and concerned about Grace. We just want her to get in contact,' he said. 

Mr Millane said she had two mobile phones with her but they both go straight to voicemail.

'She spoke to someone in the family every day on WhatsApp, Facebook or FaceTime. The contact with us stopped on Thursday. The last contact she had was with her roommate on Saturday morning,' he said.  

Detective Inspector Beard said Ms Millane's father was expected to arrive on Friday, NZ Herald reported. 

'Her family member is coming out - obviously, they're distraught. They're on the other side of the world and they haven't heard from her,' he said.    

The 22-year-old tourist had reportedly been staying at Base Backpackers on Queen Street in the heart of Auckland

A missing persons report was filed on Wednesday morning and police are investigating

The distressed family released a plea on social media after Ms Millane had been missing for five days. 

'Grace has been missing for five days. She has not returned to her hostel room in Auckland New Zealand,' her older brother Michael Millane wrote on Facebook. 

Another brother urged people to share the post, adding: 'We haven't heard from my sister since Saturday'.  

Tony McLeod, British High Commission Wellington consular manager, said the commission was aware of the missing person report. 

'We are working with the family in the UK and New Zealand Police in relation to reports of a missing British national in New Zealand,' he said. 

'We are unable to make further comment while police are investigating the matter.'

Ms Millane (pictured with her brothers) graduated from the University of Lincoln with a Bachelor of Advertising and Marketing in September 

Ms Millane had previously written on social media.

On November 19 she wrote: 'Of course it's raining when I arrive to New Zealand.'

In another tweet the day before she went missing she said: 'I think travelling has changed me I just bought some blue jeans.' 

Ms Millane, who graduated from the University of Lincoln with a Bachelor of Advertising and Marketing in September, saved for her holiday by doing office work at her fathers property development company.  

She also made money selling paintings which she exhibits on her own website.

Grace Millane,...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
