Missing Texas Teen
Body Confirmed as Camila Olmos …
Death Ruled Suicide
Published
A body found in a field in Texas Tuesday evening has been identified as missing 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, who disappeared on Christmas Eve … and local law enforcement says she took her own life.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday the body was confirmed as Camila, and the medical examiner ruled her death a suicide … a gunshot wound to the head.
As we reported, Bexar County and FBI investigators found the corpse around 4:40 to 4:45 PM local time Tuesday amid a frantic weeklong search for Camila in the San Antonio area.
The grim discovery occurred near a landscaping business, only a few hundred yards from Camila’s home. Authorities said there was a gun found next to the body.
Camila was last seen leaving her home around 7 AM on Christmas Eve and local authorities released dashcam footage from the day of her disappearance that shows a person — who they previously said was her — walking along the side of the Wildhorse Parkway, about 2 blocks from her house.
Notably, Camila was 1 of 3 teens recently reported as missing in the area. A 14-year-old has since been found safe, while a 17-year-old is still MIA. Officials have not connected the cases.
