Thanks for the link, @flowershop :
Per the presser : Camila was spotted on a person's dash cam. Wearing the clothes that she was said to be wearing.
FBI involved.
Anyone with security cams in the area, please turn in any footage deemed important.

Why would the FBI be involved, if they thought she may have crossed state lines? Or are there other reasons - just assisting local LE? JMO

They will release the new video after presser.

The video date/time stamp on the video is invalid/not set properly. FYI. But video was captured around 7am Dec 24. Verified.

New video taken by a woman on way to work. Helpful for direction taken by Camila. LE wants more video.

This second video was taken on her normal route.

She left behind her cell phone and ipad. They have gone thru devices with fbi assistance. Some info was gathered. Can't share more info.

Camila is a US citizen. No indication of ICE involvement.

They were helping with digital evidence, checking flights and border crossings. No biggie.

Sounds like for their technology skills

Good point. ^^^^
Don't they get involved sometimes for minors, 18 and younger ?
Although Camila is 19.
So I really don't know.
Just something LE said in the press conference.
Still hoping releasing the dashcam footage will help to safely locate Camila.
Imo.

From presser: LE would like volunteer groups to coordinate with LE. Haven't been made aware of meaningful info from any ground searches. Do not touch something if found. Call police.

Only Sheriff's office involved in ground search.

Can't confirm for certain that the person on door cam is her but they are going under that premise.

Presser over.

Sounds like a dashcam picked her up heading north east on Wildhorse Pkwy. (Which is just down the road from her house) As if she would be walking towards the HOA Sports Park. Of course, it may not be her.

Sounds like they found concerning things on her phone/ipad maybe search history, etc.

The FBI have been helping with tech devices, her iPad and cell phone. Dept of Homeland Security have been checking airport/flights and border crossings. The Sheriff mentioned flights to Mexico were checked.

If it's not actually her but a man, as it appears to many that it is (including me) who is he and what's he doing standing next to her car like that?!

 

[Bigditch]

The only people considering "human trafficking" is the Daily Mail! No local news has mentioned it. I don't think ABC, NBC or CBS have mentioned human traffic. LE is not considering it. It's a figment of the Daily Mail's imagination.

And yes, prostitution, working in strip clubs and massage parlors are now considered "human trafficking" these days.

I did not know that. It's a positive shift.

Then the person standing at the car couldn't have been her.

I don't know what to think. The last young woman people were looking for, had just ditched everyone for awhile.

So, are people too fast on assuming the worst here? Adults can choose to do what they want.

I'm not reading anything in official statements about her wearing shorts.

maybe the boyfriend (ex) when watching a news report and they interviewed him he seemed nervous, constantly checking his phone and touching his person. .. not sure what he said I was to busy watching his body actions.

Here we go (presser).

Sheriff: At new mobile command post. Stepping up operations.

Topic: importance of video up to this point. Yesterday a second video from neighborhood. Possibly on dashcam. Not 100% but clothing on pedestrian matches. Will be sharing this nee video.

New video is helping establish her "direction of flight". Looks like she took left - a motorist captured on dashcam. Asking community for video.

FBI and Homeland Security involved.

Prevailing theory is she walked away on her own. But they are still exploring all options.

Right now still searching close to home area. Close to new video (2ish blocks from home). Drones, mounted patrol, cadet class searching.

Clear alert issued due to history of depression and suicidal ideation.

What is a motorist captured on dashcam supposed to mean?
