The disappearance of 19-year-old Camila “Cami” Mendoza Olmos from her northwest Bexar County home in San Antonio, Texas, has gripped the community and authorities alike, turning what should have been a joyful holiday into a nightmare of uncertainty and fear.

Camila was last seen around 6:58 a.m. on December 24, 2025—Christmas Eve morning—on surveillance footage from a neighbor’s camera. The video shows her outside the family home on the 11000 block of Caspian Spring, appearing to search inside her vehicle for an unknown item while dressed in a baby-blue and black hoodie, matching pajama bottoms, and white shoes. She left on foot, taking only her car keys and possibly her driver’s license, while her phone, car, and other belongings remained behind.

Her mother, Rosario Olmos, who had been sleeping in the same bed as Camila that night, woke up about 90 minutes later to find her daughter gone. Initially assuming it was one of Camila’s regular morning walks, Rosario grew alarmed when she didn’t return. Attempts to call Camila failed as her phone was powered off and left at home. Rosario contacted Camila’s boyfriend and father—neither had seen her—before alerting the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO).

In a desperate bid for leads amid the intensifying search, Rosario has publicly shared details of their recent conversations, highlighting that Camila exhibited unusual behavior in the three days leading up to her disappearance. Family members describe these changes as out of character for the typically warm, dependable young woman who is a student at Northwest Vista Community College and deeply involved in her church community.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar has expressed serious concerns, stating Camila is in “imminent danger” due to potential mental health issues. She had recently experienced a mutual romantic breakup, and authorities note a history of depression and suicidal ideation common at her age. While no foul play is suspected at this stage—everyone close to her is cooperating—investigators haven’t ruled out possibilities like voluntary departure, kidnapping, or human trafficking, given the area’s risks.

A CLEAR Alert was swiftly issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety, classifying Camila as a possibly endangered missing adult. Extensive ground searches involving dozens of family members, friends, volunteers, and law enforcement have covered neighborhoods, parks, and a three-mile radius around her home, including organized efforts at Wildhorse HOA Sports Park. Flyers have been distributed widely, and prayer circles have brought the community together.

Camila’s aunt, Nancy Olmos, has been vocal on social media, calling her niece a “sweet angel” who loves God deeply and pleading for prayers and shares. Friends, including her childhood best friend who spoke with Camila the day before about shopping plans, insist this disappearance is unlike her. Her father rushed from California to join the search, directly appealing: “Please come home… Daddy’s missing you.”

As days turn into a tense holiday period without answers, the family clings to hope. Rosario has urged the public to pray fervently, saying she only asks God to bring her daughter back. Anyone with information is urged to contact the BCSO at 210-335-6000 or email [email protected] anonymously. The search continues relentlessly, with the community determined to bring Cami home safe.
