The disappearance of 19-year-old Camila “Cami” Mendoza Olmos has gripped San Antonio, Texas, turning a joyful Christmas into a nightmare for her family. On the early morning of December 24, 2025, Cami mysteriously vanished from her northwest Bexar County home, leaving behind her phone, car, and most belongings—only taking her car keys.

A critical piece of evidence emerged from a dash cam on a parked vehicle along the roadside near her residence. The footage, captured in the pre-dawn hours, shows Cami approaching or near her own vehicle, appearing to search for something unidentified. Authorities believe this was her last known movement before she walked away on foot. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office reviewed the video intensively for over four hours, scrutinizing every frame for clues, before concluding their session around 4:07 a.m. with a heartbreaking call to her mother, Rosario Olmos.

Rosario had shared a bed with her daughter that night and felt Cami get up early, assuming it was for her routine morning walk—a habit Cami often enjoyed. When she didn’t return after an hour and a half, panic set in. Rosario discovered Cami’s phone powered off in the bedroom and her car still in the driveway. Desperate, she contacted relatives and then law enforcement.

Sheriff Javier Salazar has classified Cami as in “imminent danger,” activating a statewide CLEAR Alert for endangered missing adults. Standing 5’4″ and weighing about 110 pounds, Cami was last seen wearing a black hoodie with baby-blue accents, matching pajama bottoms, and white shoes. Recent life stresses, including a mutual breakup with her boyfriend and reported mental health concerns like depression, have raised worries. Salazar emphasized that young adults often face overwhelming challenges, but stressed that “nothing has occurred that can’t be fixed,” urging Cami to seek help if she sees the appeals.

The community has rallied intensely. Family members, including her father driving from California and brother returning urgently, joined friends and volunteers in ground searches covering miles of neighborhood trails, parks, and nearby areas. Drones and tracking dogs assisted, while flyers plastered the suburb. Prayer vigils and social media pleas from aunt Nancy Olmos highlight the devastation: “We are still searching for my sweet angel.”

Days later, with no sightings or contact, theories range from voluntary departure due to personal struggles to fears of foul play in a region noted for trafficking risks. Yet, no evidence points to abduction, and all close contacts are cooperating fully.

As the search enters its sixth day, hope persists amid heartbreak. Authorities urge anyone with dash cam, doorbell, or security footage from the area—or any tip—to contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office immediately. Cami’s loved ones cling to faith, pleading for her safe return home.
