Dashcam Video Marks Last Known Trail in Search for Missing Texas Teen Camila Mendoza Olmos

Investigators now warn she may be in imminent danger, prompting federal assistance alongside public appeals for camera footage.

Overview

  • Bexar County deputies released dashcam footage they say likely shows a woman matching Olmos’ clothing walking north on Wildhorse Parkway around 7 a.m. Dec. 24, described as the best direction of travel and the last sighting investigators currently have despite not being 100% certain of her identity.
  • Earlier doorbell video showed a person believed to be Olmos rummaging in her car before she left on foot, with her phone found at home and only keys and possibly a driver’s license known to be with her.
  • Sheriff Javier Salazar says there is enough information to consider the 19-year-old in imminent danger, and investigators have not ruled out kidnapping, human trafficking, voluntary disappearance, or self-harm.
  • The FBI is providing technical assistance and DHS is monitoring travel and border crossings, while the sheriff confirmed Olmos was not detained by ICE and noted past indications of depression.
  • Authorities are urging neighbors and commuters to check surveillance and dashcam video from the Wildhorse area near Caspian Spring around 7 a.m. on Dec. 24 for any additional sightings.
