The family of Camila Mendoza Olmos has formally requested that police detain and question their daughter’s boyfriend, after reading what they describe as devastating final notes recovered during the investigation.
According to sources familiar with the review, the very first page of Camila’s notes contained a direct plea for help—a message that family members say left no doubt that she felt endangered in the days before her death.
“She Was Asking for Help”
Investigators confirmed that the notes, written shortly before Camila disappeared, were authenticated and entered into evidence. While authorities have not released the text publicly, they acknowledged that the opening page conveys fear, urgency, and a belief that she was running out of options.
“This wasn’t reflective journaling,” a law-enforcement source said. “It reads like someone reaching out because they don’t feel safe.”
Family’s Immediate Response
After being shown the notes during a private briefing, Camila’s parents reportedly asked investigators to take immediate action, arguing that the content contradicts any narrative suggesting she acted entirely on her own.
In a brief statement through a representative, the family said:
“Our daughter asked for help. We believe someone ignored it—or caused it.”
What the Notes Describe
Officials familiar with the material say the early pages reference:
-
Escalating pressure and fear of consequences
-
Feeling isolated from friends and support
-
A belief that speaking openly could make things worse
Investigators stressed that the notes do not name a perpetrator, but provide context that is now central to the case.
Police Response
Authorities emphasized that a family request is not the same as an arrest, but confirmed the notes have prompted:
-
A renewed review of the boyfriend’s timeline
-
Additional interviews and corroboration checks
-
Integration of the notes with digital and forensic evidence
“Personal writings can be powerful,” a spokesperson said. “But they must be evaluated alongside all other evidence.”
What Comes Next
Detectives are continuing to assess the notes for corroboration with messages, surveillance, and witness accounts. Prosecutors will determine whether the material meets legal thresholds for further action.
Police reiterated that all individuals are presumed innocent unless and until charges are filed.
