Texas Teen Missing Since Christmas Eve Deemed in Imminent Danger as Federal Agencies Join Search

The sheriff confirms she was not detained by ICE.

Overview

  • Camila Mendoza Olmos, 19, was last seen around 6:58 a.m. outside her northwest Bexar County home, where security video showed her rummaging in her car before the footage ended.
  • Investigators say she likely left on foot, leaving her vehicle and phone behind, and may have taken only a car key and possibly her driver’s license.
  • Bexar County deputies, partner agencies, and volunteers are conducting round-the-clock searches in a limited local radius, with reported use of drones and scent-tracking resources.
  • The FBI is providing technical assistance and the Department of Homeland Security is monitoring border crossings and international travel as officials consider interstate or international possibilities.
  • Authorities have not ruled out kidnapping, human trafficking, or voluntary departure, and note mental-health concerns and a recent mutual breakup as part of the context while urging neighbors to check surveillance and submit tips.
