A search effort is actively underway in Texas this Saturday as authorities hunt for a 19-year-old woman who vanished after her routine morning stroll on Christmas Eve, according to local police.

Camila Mendoza Olmos was last observed departing her home on the 11000 block of Caspian Spring in San Antonio around 6:58 a.m. on Wednesday, as per the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. More details are available here.

“Camila’s mother reported that her daughter typically goes for a morning walk, but worry set in when she failed to return in her usual timeframe,” the Sheriff’s Office explained.

Authorities shared that video footage from that morning captures an unidentified person, believed to be Camila, searching inside her car for something unspecified. The recording ends shortly thereafter. It is presumed that she left her home on foot, as her vehicle remained parked. The only belongings she is known to have had with her are her car key and possibly her driver’s license.

The woman’s mother, identified by KENS5 as Rosario Olmos, told the station that, “I called her cell phone, but the cell phone was there on the bed and it was turned off.” 

“I put it to charge and went out to look for her. I thought I would find her like other times, walking, and we would come home together,” she said. 

“I only ask God to please bring her back home,” Rosario Olmos added. “Bring her back to me.”

Camila’s family members and more than 100 other people have searched for her in the area, according to KSAT. 

“It’s been real hard,” her father, Alfonso Mendoza, told the station. 

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office described Camila Mendoza Olmos as being around 5-feet 4-inches tall, weighing around 110 pounds.

She was last seen wearing a baby blue and black hoodie, baby blue pajama bottoms and white shoes, authorities added.
