Olmos was last seen leaving her San Antonio-area home early Christmas Eve.
Texas officials confirmed Wednesday that they had found the body of Camila Mendoza Olmos, the 19-year-old who has been missing since Christmas Eve, in a field by her home.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the body as Olmos’, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Olmos’ mother, Nancy, told police she grew worried when her daughter didn’t return to her San Antonio-area home after her normal early morning walk.
The family found her cellphone turned off in her bedroom, her mother said.
Security camera video showed a person matching Olmos looking inside her car for an unidentified item before the clip from the neighbor’s home camera ended. Another video provided by someone’s dash camera appeared to show Olmos walking by herself on the side of a road, which authorities said gave them a direction of where she may have gone.
Ultimately, authorities found Olmos’ body roughly 100 yards from her home on a follow-up search of the area. She had previously been obscured by brush, and Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar credited the help of a “small army” of FBI agents to scour the area a second time.
The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be a gunshot wound to the head, with the manner of death ruled a sui::cide.

Salazar previously said investigators were aware that Olmos had “suicidal ideations” in the past, as well as issues with depression. But law enforcement was committed to exploring all possibilities in her disappearance, he said.
“We’ve got to consider all possibilities, from disappearing willfully, to the possibility of se::lf-ha::::rm, to somebody may have taken her,” Salazar said.
Alfonso Mendoza, Olmos’ father, previously told NBC affiliate WOAI of San Antonio that he was “devastated” over this daughter’s disappearance but was trying to lean on his faith.
