Texas Authorities Searching for 19-Year-Old Camila Mendoza Olmos After She Disappeared During Morning Walk on Christmas Eve in San Antonio
TEXAS — An urgent search is underway in San Antonio for 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, who disappeared on Christmas Eve after leaving her home for her regular morning walk, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. Family members, volunteers, and law enforcement have been working tirelessly to locate the young woman, whose sudden disappearance has shaken the community.
Last Seen Leaving Home Early Wednesday Morning
Deputies say Olmos was last seen around 6:58 a.m. on Wednesday as she left her residence in the 11000 block of Caspian Spring. She typically goes for a morning walk, but when she failed to return within a normal timeframe, her mother grew concerned and began calling her — only to discover that Camila’s cellphone was left at home and turned off.
Home surveillance footage from that morning shows a person believed to be Olmos looking inside her vehicle for an unknown item before walking away. The video ends shortly afterward, leading authorities to believe she left on foot. Her vehicle remained parked at the residence, and deputies said she likely had only her car key and possibly her driver’s license with her.
Family’s Desperate Search and Pleas for Help
Camila’s mother, Rosario Olmos, spoke to local outlet KENS5, describing the panic she felt when she realized her daughter was missing. After calling her repeatedly with no answer, she discovered Camila’s phone on her bed.
“I only ask God to please bring her back home,” she said. “Bring her back to me.”
More than 100 volunteers, along with friends and relatives, have been searching the surrounding neighborhoods and greenbelt areas, hoping to find any trace of the missing teen. Her father, Alfonso Mendoza, described the disappearance as “extremely difficult” for the family.

- Height: approx. 5’4”
- Weight: approx. 110 lbs
- Last seen wearing:
