Newly released dashcam footage is believed to show missing Texas teen Camila Mendoza Olmos on the night of her disappearance, according to the lead investigating sheriff.
The video, which shows someone resembling the 19-year-old walking close to her home around 7 a.m. Christmas Eve, was shared on Monday by the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
“If you commute through this area or have dash cam or home surveillance footage that may have captured Camila — please contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office immediately,” the office said in a Facebook post.
The brief clip, taken near her San Antonio home, was sent to the police by a motorist.
“The motorist got to thinking, I may have seen somebody that matched that description on my morning commute the other day,” Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar told NewsNation’s “Cuomo.”
She was last seen wearing a black North Face sweater with blue accents, baby blue pajama shorts and white shoes, according to police.
Cops have not ruled out kidnapping or human trafficking at this stage, although they are also investigating the possibility she disappeared of her own volition, Salazar told “Cuomo.”
“She could have just wanted to get away, gather her thoughts. There is a concern regarding self-harm, so that could be what’s going on here … she may have gone and harmed herself, or she could have been abducted,” he said.
“At this point, we’re looking at that whole spectrum of possibilities until such time as some prevailing evidence emerges that leads us one way or the other,” Salazar added.
