Missing Camila Mendoz Olmos: Dashcam captures last sighting of Texas teen who vanished Christmas Eve
Share this @internewscast.com

Authorities in Texas have shared dashcam footage capturing the final verified sighting of Mendoza Olmos. She disappeared on the morning of December 24th and is thought to be at “imminent risk.”

The footage, filmed on Wildhorse Parkway near Shetland Wind and Caspian Spring in Bexar County, shows a solitary figure dressed in clothing that matches what Camila was wearing when she stepped out of her family home just moments earlier.

The video was recorded by a neighbor’s dashboard camera as they were driving to work, explained Sheriff Javier Salazar. This spot is merely a few blocks from her residence, and investigators have not dismissed the possibility that “someone may have taken her” subsequent to this sighting.

“We’re sharing this with the public in the hope that others might have captured similar footage,” Sheriff Salazar mentioned during a news briefing on Monday. “So far, this has been the most promising lead regarding her direction of travel.”

Mendoza Olmos is believed to have left her home on Caspian Spring, turned left on the parkway and continued north to parts unknown, he said.

The missing teen was last seen wearing a baby blue and black hoodie, baby blue pajama pants and white shoes, according to authorities.

“We just have a feeling that someone took her,” her aunt, Nancy Olmos, told Fox News’ Lawrence Jones on “FOX & Friends” Tuesday morning. “Someone took her from outside.”

However, she called rumors that her ex-boyfriend could be behind her disappearance “fake news.” She said the two had recently split on “good terms” and that the two families have been close for decades.

The missing teen’s cousin, Destiny Mendoza, also told the show that nothing seemed unusual the last time she spoke with Mendoza Olmos on Dec. 23.

“Everything was completely normal, it was just, ‘Oh I love you I’ll talk to you after the gym,’” she said.

She added that her cousin wasn’t a fan of the outdoors and didn’t like hiking or nature trails.

“At this point we’ve got several different theories,” Sheriff Salazar said.

There is some evidence of past “bouts of depression,” he said, before adding that’s common in young people.

“We’ve got to consider all possibilities, from disappearing willfully to the possibility of self-harm, to somebody may have taken her,” he said. “Maybe, after this video, somebody may have taken her.”

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone who lives in the area or was driving through at the time to call 210-335-6000 or email BCSOTips@bexar.org.

“If you live two or three communities over, it doesn’t cost you much more than time to just look through your surveillance camera video from [Christmas Eve] and let us know, and we’ll be the judge of it,” Salazar said.

He said the FBI is assisting with the analysis of digital evidence, including devices and additional video — and that Homeland Security has been monitoring flight and border crossing records.

“Not that we have any direct information that would lead us to believe that she left the country, but again, we would be remiss if we didn’t check everything,” the sheriff said.

And although Mendoz Olmos is a U.S. citizen, Salazar said his office also checked with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to see if they’d run into her. 

“That didn’t lead us to anything,” he said. “They indicated that they did not have her in custody, but we would have been remiss if we did not ask that question.”
