Missing teen Camila Mendoza Olmos, who disappeared on Christmas Eve, may be in ‘imminent danger,’ authorities say
Mendoza Olmos’s mother said she tried calling, but her daughter left her cellphone at home.
Authorities are still searching for a missing 19-year-old from Bexar County, Texas, who was last seen on Christmas Eve.
Rosario Olmos reported that her daughter, Camila Mendoza Olmos, missing since Dec. 24 after Mendoza Olmos left their house that morning. She was last seen on a neighbor’s security camera shortly before 7 a.m. on the 11000 block of Caspian Spring, near San Antonio, CBS affiliate KENS5 reported.
Olmos told the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office that her daughter regularly takes morning walks, and that she became concerned when “Camila did not return within a reasonable period of time,” according to ABC News. Mendoza Olmos did not take her phone with her.
“I called her cellphone, but the cellphone was there on the bed and it was turned off,” Olmos told KENS5. “I put it to charge and went out to look for her. I thought I would find her like other times, walking, and we would come home together.”
The video footage from that morning shows an individual believed to be Mendoza Olmos searching inside her vehicle for an unidentified item before the footage ends, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators believe she left the area on foot, as her car was still at her home.
Mendoza Olmos, who is 5’4” and 110 pounds with brown hair and eyes, was last seen wearing a blue-and-black hoodie, baby blue pajama bottoms and white shoes, and is believed to be carrying only her car key and possibly her driver’s license.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar told ABC News that deputies and volunteers have been searching around the clock as they believe that Olmos is in “imminent danger.”

Multiple agencies are assisting with the investigation, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, the latter of which is monitoring border crossings and international travel. San Antonio is about 160 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.
“We definitely don’t want to miss anything,” Salazar told ABC News. “The ground search is somewhat limited to a couple of square miles. We’re also not ruling out that this case may take us outside the borders of the continental United States.”
Mendoza Olmos, a U.S. citizen, was not detained by ICE, Salazar said, adding that authorities are also investigating kidnapping, human trafficking and whether Mendoza Olmos left on her own accord.
