Maybe not officially identified as her, but the Clear Alert has been discontinued. May be an indicator?

CLEAR ALERT

Yes, we will probably hear something definite by tomorrow

Or she initiated the breakup knowing she was thinking and/or planning on taking her own life.

good point. Family says Camila was very happy before the breakup, though. We never really know. I wonder if she left a note? Police hold back information and clues for various reasons

 

[Hope&Faith]

Bless her heart RIP Camila. There are times we can never really know what others are going through. Condolences to her family.

It's really sad. And on Christmas Eve? Every Christmas Eve from now on will be dreadful for her poor Mama. My heart goes out to her.

Let’s be real every day will be dreadful for the poor mama. As a mama of teens my heart breaks for her too

Of course. It's heartbreaking. My only point was that the anniversary of the loss will always have special focus of grief. And having that extra sadness on Christmas every year affects all of the children and grandchildren forever too. IMO

CONFIRMED | Body found Tuesday is 19-year-old Camila Olmos

I suspect the breakup with the boyfriend was the trigger. Just a guess because we don't know much about Camila & what happened

It's in msm as a mutual break up.
Respectfully that's a bit of an unfair comment to make. Indeed we don't know much and it's unfair to speculate. I'm sure the ex boyfriend is feeling the same heartbreaking emotions as family.

 

[Chimera]

Imo, everyone connected to Camila is devastated and hurting.
I don't think they saw this coming, really.
My utmost condolences to all of them !
Omo.

Sad, but not unexpected. I'm glad the waiting is over for Camila's family. RIP Camila Mendoza Olmos

My heart goes out to Camila's family and friends. Thankfully she was found so they can now grieve and not wonder what happened. It's so tough when young healthy people end their lives and it never makes any sense.

I don't think it is unfair to speculate. We don't know the boyfriend, but we do know that his is a high percentage reason among teens and young adults.

For visuals like me, her house on caspian springs is really close to the place where she was found (if it is her), we're talking few hundred metres as the crow flies.

I don't want to sound cold and focus just on the logistics of Camila's death, but I am curious as to her route to the Burning Bush business. A direct route appears to take her down Palamino, then Pony Gate, Mustang and then the small driveway/road into the industrial area/open parklands. However, we do know she was seen on dash cam on the bend of Wildhorse Parkway. Perhaps she was wandering, somewhat aimlessly whilst trying to work up the courage to do it, or deciding on the best place. Burning Bush opens at 8am, but it's hard to tell if the location she was found was close to where workers may have been. If only she'd kept walking to a police station, health clinic, or back home to her mum and asked for help. It's such a fine line dealing with those with mental health issues. You don't want to add to their stress by continually pressing for answers or asking how they are, but yet you can't stand by and leave them to manage, knowing that suicide is always out there, even if you never think a loved one will do it. Sadly, I just don't see a way to break the cycle of people claiming they're OK, or working through some issues, maybe even appearing happy and full of life and then ending their life. There just seems too much shame, or whatever it may be, that stops people reaching out. Then there is of course the fact that help is not easy to get & cost prohibitive too. I don't know how to fix it and it's heartbreaking. So many lost souls, gone forever.

That she was self harming and family was aware is disturbing. Unknown if they had some outside help for that.

In the last press conference by Sheriff Salazar, he indicated the body was located very close to her home -- in tall grass about 100 yards away, and not likely a path that triggered surveillance.

Also, we recently heard from Camila's father that the image seen on the dash cam on Wildhorse Pkwy was not his daughter Camila.

Camila's Olmos’ father says the video being circulated is not his daughter​

Authorities found her body in a field on Tuesday afternoon, approximately 100 yards from Mendoza Olmos' home, in northwest Bexar County, according to Sheriff Javier Salazar. The area had been previously searched, though authorities with the sheriff's office and FBI were back on Tuesday, Salazar said. The field has tall grass, and authorities felt there would be a benefit to check it again, he said.
