POLICE who have been looking into the case of missing teen Sarah Dunsey who was dramatically reunited with her family after being "snatched for sex trafficking" say she "was not kidnapped".
And cops have also revealed she appeared to be not "unwilling" leave the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas where she was taken from with two men.
Officer Michael Rodriguez, of the Las Vegas Police Department, told Dailymail.com: "Her mother told us that she was taken by sex traffickers. We found that not to be true."
Sources at the police department also revealed to the site cops were not told the 17-year-old Utah student was missing until two weeks after she vanished.
And the missing persons report which was filed by her mother, was actually registered in Logan, where Sarah lives with her father Michael and his wife Terri, and not in St George, as originally thought.
Captain Curtis Hooley from the Logan Police Department told the site the teen was reported missing on January 16.
However she was set to return to Logan on January 3 after a holiday a visit to see her mum in St George where she lives.
She is also alleged to have spent some time with a "male acquaintance" before heading to Sin City.
Captain Hooley said when Sarah was seen leaving the MGM Grand Casino, she was with two friends and appeared happy to go with them.
He revealed: "She left with a couple of other males. She did not appear to be struggling. She didn't seem unwilling at all".
Security footage at the hotel is deleted after two weeks if nothing appeared untoward on it.
Stan Chmielewski, a security supervisor at the MGM Grand, confirmed that unless it was requested by the police it was dumped.
Sarah vanished in Las Vegas on January 15 and her mother Amie Ellis launched a campaign saying her daughter had been taken by sex traffickers.
The FBI discovered Sarah in Venice, California on Friday.
In a video, which was posted on the missing person's page on Facebook, she can be seen embracing her brothers when she was reunited with her family over the weekend.
It was accompanied by the comment:"Sibling love. It was an emotional reunion last night!"
Sarah was also seen in a photo posted on Facebook by her stepmother Terri, beaming and thrilled to be back with her overjoyed family.
Terri posted on the social media site on Sunday: "Feels so amazing to hold this beautiful young lady in our arms again!! Thanks again to everyone."
Her stepfather Todd said on Monday it was a "miracle she was back with the family alive, and they were all "exhausted" after what had happened to her.
He told the Dailymail.com: "No parent or child should have to experience what we have been through. We are thankful for all the good people that helped in the recover of Sarah. This was truly a miracle."
Sarah was found with two men at the hotel in Venice, and they were questioned by police.
The FBI have still not confirmed or denied if she was taken in connection with human sex trafficking.
Cops have also refused to say whether there have been any arrests in relation to her disappearance.
When she disappeared, her mother Amie made a video plea to her daughter, telling her to “fight” the mysterious traffickers who the family feared kidnapped her.
The one-minute YouTube video began by showing the words of 17-year-old Sarah Dunsey’s “last” text message: “If I die tonight it’s a guy named [blurred out name].”
Her mother claimed in the video, "January 15 our daughter Sarah Dunsey was abducted from Las Vegas, Nevada; she is being held against her will and Sarah is a victim of sex trafficking".
Sarah's father, as well as a host of other worried relatives and family friends, could be seen standing behind her in the clip, according to the New York Post.
In the clip her mum said: "This is my absolute worst nightmare. We need Sarah home. I have to have her home.
"I cannot wonder where she is and if she is safe. Please help us find her,” Ellis pleads.
Moments later in the video, the devastated mum spoke directly to her missing daughter.
“Sarah Bearah, this message is for you.

The family never explained why they thought Sarah had been trafficked.
