Police in Colombia are reviewing CCTV footage of a man seen at the hotel of accused Australian drug mule Cassandra Sainsbury as her family prepares to arrive in the country from Australia.

It's believed the man could hold information relevant to the case of the 22-year-old Adelaide woman who was arrested last month at El Dorado International Airport on April 12 after 5.8 kilograms of cocaine was allegedly found hidden inside 18 headphone boxes in her suitcase.

Ms Sainsbury's family left Adelaide on Wednesday morning bound for Bogota and the Nine Network reports local police have reportedly seized the security vision believing the man could hold vital keys to their investigation.
