Olascoaga, 24, is seen pulling into a QuikTrip gas station in Seagoville, Texas at 8.34pm local time.

She paused before getting out of her vehicle and locked the doors before heading inside.

After entering the convenience store, she stopped to pour a fountain drink and appeared to be holding a bunch of snacks in one hand.

The teacher’s assistant then paused to peruse another section of the store.

Olascoaga was then seen exiting the shop and walking across a parking lot to return to her car.

She stood next to her vehicle and pumped gas while sipping her drink.

At 8.44pm, Olascoaga gets back into her car and sits there for nearly two minutes before she drives away.

In the video, Olascoaga is wearing a dark top with a white logo, dark bottoms, and black flip-flops.

ABANDONED CAR

Olascoaga is a special education teacher’s assistant in Dallas, her brother-in-law, Marco Barroso, told local NBC affiliate KXAS.

She dropped off a friend at the Creekside Mobile Home Park at around 8pm on September 27, just minutes before she was seen at the QuikTrip.

Family members told KXAS that Olascoaga’s phone was last active at 10pm on the night she disappeared – more than an hour after the gas station sighting.

Olascoaga’s car, a white 2015 Buick La Crosse, was found abandoned the next morning at an intersection about eight miles from the mobile home park.

Her purse and cellphone were missing from the car and relatives said that the driver’s seat was positioned differently from how Olascoaga usually set it.

Olascoaga was reported missing by her family on September 28 after she failed to show up to work in Dallas.

But because Olascoaga was last seen in Seagoville, the case was handed over to police there on October 1.

EERIE TEXTS

Barroso shared chilling text messages that were forwarded to family members from Olascoaga’s friends in the days following her disappearance.

“We got some random text messages, a friend of hers got them. ‘Hey are you missing someone,’ ‘You’re never gonna find her and you’re never gonna see her again,’” Barroso told local Fox affiliate KDFW.

But the phone number that sent the messages has not been traceable.

Police believe that the messages indicate foul play in Olascoaga’s disappearance.

“These text messages contained content that would lead one to believe that Jennifer’s disappearance may involve foul play,” the Seagoville Police Department said in a statement.

FAMILY’S PLEAS

Olascoaga’s family and friends have been canvassing the area in an attempt to find her.

“We’re just out here on Belt Line trying to get maybe some footage, spread the word out here if anybody saw her last. You know, just trying to get something,” Barroso told KXAS.

Her family has searched the area near where her car was found as well.

“It’s horrible in there. There’s a lot of thorns and everything,” Olascoaga’s cousin Litzy Mendez told KXAS.

“We tried to search around here just to see if we could find evidence like shoes or wallet or phone but there’s nothing, like no clue whatsoever that will take us to her.”

Olascoaga’s family believes she did not disappear by choice, adding that her car was nearly paid off and she enjoyed her work.

Olascoaga is 5-foot-4, weighs about 250 pounds, and speaks English and Spanish.

“I have hope that she’s OK somewhere, but it’s very hard to talk about that,” said Barroso.

“If you know anything, if you’ve seen that car here on Belt Line that night, maybe she was being followed by somebody that night. If anything, call the police department.”

In a statement regarding the investigation provided to The U.S. Sun, Seagoville Police said: “This investigation is fluid, and detectives are following up on all leads received.”

She was seen at the QuikTrip at US Hwy 175 and Belt Line Road in Dallas after dropping off her friend in Seagoville on September 27
