Overview

  • Camila Mendoza Olmos, 19, was last seen at 6:58 a.m. on Dec. 24 outside her northwest Bexar County home on video appearing to search her car before the footage ends.
  • Investigators say she likely left on foot, leaving her car and phone at home, and may have had only a car key and possibly her driver’s license.
  • Sheriff Javier Salazar says there is sufficient information to consider her in imminent danger, with possibilities ranging from self‑harm to abduction still under review.
  • The FBI is providing technical assistance and the Department of Homeland Security is monitoring border crossings and international travel, and officials are not ruling out an international lead.
  • Salazar verified she was not detained by ICE; authorities highlight mental‑health concerns and ask neighbors to review surveillance and submit tips to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
