In a quiet San Antonio neighborhood, routine became nightmare in a matter of minutes. Surveillance video shows a young woman, believed to be 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, briefly searching her car before disappearing from the frame. Her vehicle never moved. Her phone, powered off, sat on her bed. Only a car key and perhaps her driver’s license are missing with her, as if she meant to be right back.
Her parents, Rosario and Alfonso, now walk the streets their daughter once did, joined by more than a hundred relatives, friends and strangers combing fields, ditches and sidewalks. They replay every detail, clinging to the belief that she did not simply run away. Between prayers and interviews, Rosario offers the same plea to anyone listening: help bring Camila home. Somewhere beyond the edges of that last grainy video, a family’s life is still on pause, waiting for an answer.
