Texas Authorities Release Dashcam Clip in Search for Missing 19-Year-Old Camila Mendoza Olmos

A dashcam clip that may show her on Wildhorse Parkway underscores a CLEAR Alert signaling an urgent cross-border probe.

Overview

  • Investigators say the new video, recorded around 7 a.m. on December 24, may depict Camila walking north on Wildhorse Parkway near Shetland Wind and Caspian Spring, though the identification is not certain.
  • Earlier security footage shows her about 6:58 a.m. outside her home checking her car; she left her phone and an iPad at the residence and is believed to have had only car keys and possibly her license.
  • Sheriff Javier Salazar says she could be in imminent danger under Texas’ CLEAR Alert criteria and notes sensitive information he cannot disclose while acknowledging prior discussions of self-harm are among the factors reviewed.
  • The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are assisting with data on flights and border crossings as ground searches with K9 teams, drones, and cadaver-detection equipment continue near the last-known area.
  • Mexican search agencies have issued public notices, ICE confirmed she is not in custody, and community volunteers have been canvassing as authorities request any relevant home or vehicle video.
