Camila Mendoza Olmos missing
The backstory:
Camila Mendoza Olmos, 19, was last seen outside her home in San Antonio, Texas, on Christmas Eve, authorities said. (Bexar County Sheriff’s Office)
Mendoza Olmos is believed to have left her home on Caspian Spring, turned left on the parkway and continued north to parts unknown, he said.
The missing teen was last seen wearing a baby blue and black hoodie, baby blue pajama pants and white shoes, according to authorities.
“We just have a feeling that someone took her,” her aunt, Nancy Olmos, told Fox News’ Lawrence Jones on “FOX & Friends” Tuesday morning. “Someone took her from outside.”
The missing teen’s cousin, Destiny Mendoza, also told the show that nothing seemed unusual the last time she spoke with Mendoza Olmos on Dec. 23.
“Everything was completely normal, it was just, ‘Oh I love you I’ll talk to you after the gym,'” she said.
She added that her cousin wasn’t a fan of the outdoors and didn’t like hiking or nature trails.
“At this point we’ve got several different theories,” Sheriff Salazar said.
There is some evidence of past “bouts of depression,” he said, before adding that’s common in young people.
“We’ve got to consider all possibilities, from disappearing willfully to the possibility of self-harm, to somebody may have taken her,” he said. “Maybe, after this video, somebody may have taken her.”
