That photo of the car, it looks like a male in long pants in the picture. Notice the stance, it doesn't appear to be a female. Jmo

I'm confused bc it says last seen wearing baby blue shorts, but that "confirmed" image shows someone in all black and pants

There is someone on ws that is great with enlarging and making pixels clearer. Who I can't remember.

That would be great ,

We should be able to send out a beacon alert for these tech savvy posters

MOO

It occurs to me that the phone might have been dead or on silent and lost in the bed. If she fell asleep in bed with her mom while holding her phone, and when she woke up thought the phone should be on the bedside table and it wasn't, and a quick search of where she was in the bed did not turn up the phone quickly, mightn't she go to her car to see if she left her phone there? Finding nothing, went on her walk figuring to search for her phone better around the bed when her mother was up? This would explain looking in the car and leaving the phone.

But what are the odds on the exact day she had no phone, someone would snatch her? That rather indicates to me someone who knew her might have taken her.

I’m just wondering what she has going on in her life? University, work… what keeps her busy and what paths does she cross in doing these things?

Dunno but that's sure an excellent question.

Could someone please provide a link to support the assertion that the area is known for trafficking.

Thanks !!

Has there been any mention of boyfriends or ex-boyfriends any situations where there had been arguments or rejected advances? Seems like possibly someone she knew well or maybe more in passing knew her morning routine and waited. Im not getting the feeling that she would have voluntarily worried her family. Moo

The ex boyfriend was interviewed in this video from News4 San Antonio around 14:25. He seems worried and cooperative to me JMO.

Dunno but that's sure an excellent question.

Clearly I didn’t read this article. She’s a student at, Northwest Vista Community College.

The mystery deepened when it was discovered that Olmos, a Northwest Vista Community College student, had left her phone on a bed in her home with no battery, which was found by her mother around three hours after she was last seen in surveillance footage.

It was in the Dailymail article upthread.

"Olmos's loved ones have issued urgent pleas for her to be found safe, with the area she vanished from in northwest Bexar County known by authorities as a human-trafficking corridor."

 

[Stunned]

I'm not going to debate this subject, it's been said she had her license with her.

Why? Why would she take her license with her and nothing else?

Fears for 19-year-old who vanished on Christmas Eve in Texas hotspot

A missing persons alert has been issued for 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, who vanished during a Christmas Eve morning walk in northwest Bexar County, Texas near San Antonio.

Why? Why would she take her license ou with her and nothing else?

I always took my license with me when I went out running or cycling. So if anything happened to me I could be identified. That seems normal to me, taking your ID. And I took nothing more than I needed, so ID if just running or cycling, ID and a single credit card wrapped in a 20 bill if I expected to stop at a convenience store on my route. Tucked into my sock (slouch socks). What else would she bring if she were just on a neighborhood walk?

I don't and I live in this supposed "human trafficking corridor" (according to the Daily Mail). I know I would lose it. At night I carry my heavy lantern and my keys. I'm more afraid of dogs than anything.

I did have one guy stop and ask if I needed a ride, I promptly walked up a driveway and said, "No". That's been it for me.

Also a good idea if your a Latina in these times. IMO

"[Bexar County Sheriff Javier] Salazar said Mendoza Olmos recently went through a romantic breakup, but authorities said the breakup was mutual and don't suspect anything "nefarious" was involved, saying everyone close to her is cooperating."

A lot of doors just opened up.

80,000 trafficked in Texas. She doesn't even live in the City of San Antonio.

She lives in a suburban area and is not that close to an interstate.

Most human trafficking takes place online, at truck stops, and at large venues.

Some random trafficker roaming neighborhoods at 7 am is gonna have a hard time finding victims.

She said slave labor is often found in local hotels, manufacturing facilities, kitchens, massage parlors or even in plain sight, where a child is put to peddle on street corners.

Wondering if mom would know if any clothes or bags were missing? Could she have pre planned leaving and left a bag in car from night before? What did rings show the night/day before would be one of my questions.
