No Credible Reports of New Developments Involving Ex-Boyfriend in Camila Mendoza Olmos Case
The ex-boyfriend of Camila “Cami” Mendoza Olmos has been assisting in the search for the missing Texas teen — and vowed to continue doing so until she’s found.
Nathan Gonzales spoke to local media on Saturday as he and other members of the community came together to look for Olmos, who mysteriously vanished just before 7 a.m. on Christmas Eve and was last seen outside her home in San Antonio.

“They’re going through a nightmare,” Gonzales said of Olmos’s family during a search party for the missing teen.
Gonzales, who had dated the missing 19-year-old, told Fox San Antonio on Saturday that he’s fully committed to searching for Olmos — whom he described as exceptionally “loving” — until the moment she’s found. “So that’s why we’re all out here to support her family and be there for them, because not only do they need us right now. But they need the Lord Jesus to be with her and protect Cami because we know with the Lord that she’s gonna come back home.
“She’s a very loving person. She’s the person that always puts others before herself, and she loves everybody no matter what, and you know, this is just not like her because like I said, she’s just a loving person and would’ve never thought that something like this would happen,” Gonzales continued.
Gonzales has since dedicated much of his social media presence to happy pictures of the couple together and flyers asking for members to join search efforts as the teen’s disappearance moves into its fifth day.Instagram/nate gonzales
“I’ll be here all day… We’ve been here for three days, going on four days straight, and we’re not going to stop until we find her.”
Gonzales has since dedicated much of his social media presence to happy pictures of the couple together and flyers asking for members to join search efforts as the teen’s disappearance moves into its fifth day.
Olmos had recently ended a romantic relationship, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department.
The breakup was described as amicable, and police are not currently working on the assumption that her ex is involved in her disappearance, cops said.
Gonzales, however, has not been officially identified by authorities as the subject of the recent breakup, and it is unclear when the pair was last together.

Gonzales added that he has answered detectives’ questions about his relationship with Olmos and any places he believed she could have vanished to, as authorities continue the desperate search.
“I was willing to give any information that I can to bring her home. Because at the end of the day that’s what I want is to bring her home for her family,” Gonzales said.
The search for Olmos has extended into Mexico as state authorities fear she may have been taken over the US-Mexican border.
In the security video of the night of her disappearance, Olmos, a Mexican national, was seen searching for something inside her vehicle before closing the door and vanishing from the scene.
She only had her car keys and driver’s license with her, but not her cell phone, which was found on her bed, family members told the police.

It is believed that she left on foot.
There have been no leads on Olmos’s whereabouts, and neither kidnapping, human trafficking, nor the teen leaving on her own accord has been ruled out by the sheriff.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said investigators fear the teen may be in “imminent danger.”
Local police have been collaborating with both the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detect whether she crossed the border.
Claims circulating on social media suggesting that Camila Mendoza Olmos’s ex-boyfriend, Nathan Gonzales, submitted contact history (such as phone records) following a preliminary forensic report, or that a “newly emerged timing detail” has stunned the family, appear to be unsubstantiated as of January 2, 2026. Extensive searches across major news outlets—including KSAT, San Antonio Express-News, ABC News, CNN, Fox News, Daily Mail, and others—yield no confirmation of such developments from law enforcement or family statements.
The case concluded tragically on December 31, 2025, when the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the body found in a field near Camila’s home as hers, ruling the cause of death a gunshot wound to the head and the manner suicide. A firearm recovered at the scene matched a missing gun from a family member. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar emphasized no foul play, citing indicators of undiagnosed depression and prior suicidal ideations.
Role of Ex-Boyfriend Nathan Gonzales
Nathan Gonzales, Camila’s recent ex-boyfriend, was actively involved in the search efforts before the discovery. He led volunteer search parties, shared flyers on social media, and spoke publicly about the family’s “nightmare,” vowing to continue until she was found. Authorities described the breakup as mutual, occurring in the fall when Gonzales moved for college, and stated there was nothing “nefarious” involved. Family members, including aunt Nancy Olmos, dismissed early rumors linking him to the disappearance as “fake news,” noting the families had been close for years.
Gonzales cooperated fully with investigators, and no reports indicate he was required to submit additional contact history post-ruling or that any forensic findings implicated him.
Forensic and Digital Analysis Details
During the search, the FBI assisted with digital forensic analysis on Camila’s iPhone and iPad, both left behind at home (charging in her bedroom). This was part of exploring all angles, including voluntary departure or external threats. No public details emerged tying this to Gonzales or revealing surprising “timing details.” Post-ruling updates focus on mental health indicators, academic pressures (Camila switched majors from orthodontics to business amid grade struggles), the breakup’s emotional impact, and work hardships.
Camila’s father, Alfonso Mendoza, noted she had lost weight and was “feeling low” after the breakup. Her mother, Rosario Olmos, observed signs of depression related to studies.
Family’s Response and Community Aftermath
The family’s New Year’s Eve statement, shared by Nancy Olmos, expressed gratitude for support and faith: “Our beloved Camila Mendoza Olmos is now with the Good Lord.” They requested prayers for Rosario and brother Carlos while seeking privacy. No family comments mention being “stunned” by new timing details or ex-boyfriend submissions.
The tragedy has raised mental health awareness, with calls to San Antonio crisis lines tripling. Friends remembered Camila as relatable and bright, discussing shared struggles like school and relationships.
Unverified social media claims may stem from earlier speculation during the search, when all possibilities (including foul play) were explored. Official sources consistently affirm the suicide ruling and absence of third-party involvement.
