🚨 LAST SIGNAL CONFIRMED: The Ongoing Search for Camila Mendoza Olmos
As of December 29, 2025, the search for 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos enters its sixth day with no new leads, leaving her family, friends, and the northwest Bexar County community in profound anguish. The young woman, a student at Northwest Vista Community College known for her deep faith and close-knit relationships, vanished on Christmas Eve morning after what appeared to be a routine early walk. Authorities and loved ones describe her disappearance as completely out of character, emphasizing that Camila always stayed connected—yet she left her phone behind, powered off, marking the abrupt end of any “last signal.”

The Final Moments: What the Surveillance Shows
On December 24, 2025, around 6:58 AM, neighbor surveillance footage captured a figure believed to be Camila outside her family home on the 11000 block of Caspian Spring in the Wildhorse subdivision. She appears to be searching inside her vehicle, with the car lights on in the pre-dawn darkness. Moments later, she walks out of frame. Her vehicle remained parked, untouched. Investigators believe she left on foot, taking only her car keys and possibly her driver’s license.
Her mother, Rosario Olmos, shared a bed with Camila that night. She felt her daughter get up but assumed it was for one of her regular morning walks—a peaceful habit in the suburban neighborhood. About 90 minutes later, Rosario discovered Camila gone, her phone powered off in the bedroom. No further confirmed sightings or digital traces have emerged since.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar has classified Camila as in “imminent danger,” noting mental health concerns, including depression following an amicable breakup and a history of suicidal ideation. However, he stresses that nothing is ruled out, including foul play, accident, or human trafficking—given the area’s reputation as a trafficking corridor. The FBI is assisting, monitoring borders and travel.
The Search Effort: Dogs, Drones, and Determined Volunteers
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has deployed extensive resources: deputies, investigators, drones, K9 units—including scent-tracking and cadaver dogs—from Alamo Area Search and Rescue. Ground searches have covered multiple areas within a several-mile radius of the home, with volunteers often exceeding 100 people canvassing on foot.
Reports indicate that scent-tracking dogs have been unable to pick up or maintain Camila’s trail beyond initial points, a detail that has deeply troubled her family. In many missing persons cases, dogs losing a scent can occur near environmental disruptions, though no specific locations like water sources have been publicly detailed in this investigation.
The Wildhorse subdivision and surrounding areas include open spaces, parks, and nearby natural features common to northwest San Antonio suburbs.

A Community United in Hope and Heartache
Volunteers have established search stations, such as at Wildhorse HOA Sports Park (9700 Mustang Gate, San Antonio, TX 78254), with prayer vigils and rallies drawing dozens. Camila’s aunt, Nancy Olmos, has been a vocal advocate: “Cami needs us. By the grace of Jesus Christ, we will find you, Cami.” Her father, Alfonso Mendoza, traveled from California, pleading, “Please come home… Daddy’s missing you.”
Friends describe Camila as responsible and communicative—”she’s always been the one to check on us.” Leaving without her phone, which held her “last signal” to the world, is seen as profoundly unusual.

What Comes Next?
Sheriff Salazar urges residents to review doorbell and surveillance footage from Christmas Eve morning and report anything suspicious. No evidence of struggle or forced entry has been found, but the lack of traces—including from tracking efforts—keeps all theories open.
Camila’s family clings to faith: “Pray and ask from the heart to God, the angels and the Virgin Mary,” Rosario has appealed.
This case serves as a stark reminder of how swiftly life can change. As the search continues without resolution, hope remains the guiding light.
