On Saturday, April 13, 2024, at approximately 10:55 a.m., Austin Police Department (APD) officers responded to a call for service at a residence in the 1200 block of Knollpark Circle. The caller stated that his daughter, later identified as Sienna Rae Contreras, was deceased. Officers arrived and spoke with the father who stated that he had last seen Sienna the night prior.
