Newly reviewed surveillance footage has added a chilling layer to the disappearance of Camila Olmos, a 19-year-old student who vanished on Christmas morning after being captured on camera behaving in a way her family says was completely out of character.

Camila was last seen on December 25, during the early morning hours, after leaving her home in northwest Bexar County near San Antonio.

What happened next remains a mystery.

The Video That Changed Everything

According to investigators, CCTV footage shows Camila standing beside her parked vehicle, frantically rummaging through the interior as if searching for something important. The footage then shows her stepping away from the car and leaving the area on foot.

She did not drive away.
She did not take her phone.

Her car remained at the scene. Her cell phone was found powered off inside the vehicle, along with most of her personal belongings.

Authorities believe Camila may have taken only her car keys and her driver’s license.

Last Known Movements

The surveillance footage marks the last confirmed sighting of Camila. After she walks out of frame, there are no verified sightings.

Family members say Camila was believed to be heading out for what should have been a routine morning walk — something she had done many times before.

But this time, she never returned.

Description at the Time She Vanished

Camila is described as:

19 years old

Approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall

Around 110 pounds

She was last seen wearing:

A black North Face sweater with baby blue accents, or possibly a baby blue and black hoodie

Baby blue pajama shorts or bottoms

White shoes

Police say anyone who saw a young woman matching this description in the early morning hours of Christmas Day should come forward.

“This Is Not Like Her”

Camila’s family has been clear: this disappearance does not fit her behavior, personality, or routine.

“She would never leave without her phone,” a family member said. “She always checked in. Always.”

Relatives say there were no known conflicts, no plans to run away, and no signs that Camila intended to disappear.

Search Efforts Underway

Law enforcement has been canvassing the area where Camila was last seen, collecting additional surveillance footage from nearby homes and businesses.

Investigators are also asking residents to review doorbell and security camera footage recorded during the early hours of Christmas morning.

Why the Case Is So Troubling

Missing-person cases often involve a vehicle, a phone, or a digital trail. In Camila’s case, those anchors were left behind.

Experts say that abandoning a phone — especially for someone her age — significantly raises concern.

“This creates a gap,” one investigator noted. “And gaps are where answers are hiding.”

How the Public Can Help

Authorities urge anyone with information to:

Review personal security footage from December 25

Report sightings of Camila walking alone that morning

Share any details, no matter how small

Even a brief sighting could help establish her route or destination.

A Family Waiting in Silence

As Christmas decorations came down, Camila’s family was left with unanswered questions.

They continue to share her story, hoping someone recognizes her or remembers seeing her.

“We just want her home,” a relative said. “That’s all.”

Police stress the investigation remains active and that the public’s help could be critical in bringing Camila Olmos back safely.
