The search for a missing Texas teen has now been extended to Mexico — five days after she vanished from her home on Christmas Eve.
A missing person report for Camila Mendoza Olmos, 19, was issued by the Nuevo León Attorney General’s Office, as state authorities fear she may have been taken over the US-Mexican border.
The teenager was last seen on Dec. 24 in Bexar County, near San Antonio, Tex., just before 7 a.m. as she left her home and went to her car, parked in front of the house.
In the security video, Olmos, a Mexican national, is seen searching for something inside the vehicle before closing the door and disappearing from the scene.
She only had her car keys and driver’s license with her, but not her cell phone, family members told the police.
Since then, there have been no leads on Olmos’s whereabouts, with local police collaborating with both the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detect whether she crossed the border.
Neither kidnapping nor human trafficking, nor leaving of her own accord, have been ruled out by the sheriff.
The teenager had recently ended a romantic relationship, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department.
However, the breakup was described as amicable and police are not currently working on the assumption that her ex is involved in her disappearance.
