SAN ANTONIO - The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is intensifying search operations this week as investigators seek the public’s help in locating three teenagers reported missing in separate incidents across the county.

Sheriff’s officials have established a mobile command post and are utilizing drones, K-9 units, and mounted patrols to search for 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, 17-year-old Angelique Johnson and 14-year-old Sofia Gabriela Peters-Cobos. 

While the cases are not currently linked, authorities are urging residents to check home surveillance and dash camera footage for any signs of the missing youths.

What you can do:

Anyone with information on any of the following individuals is asked to contact the BCSO at 210-335-6000 or email missingpersons@bexar.org.

Camila Mendoza Olmos, 19

What we know:

The Clear Alert that had been issued for 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, who went missing the morning of Christmas Eve, was discontinued Tuesday night, just hours after authorities said they had found a body and a weapon during their search for her.

According to family, Olmos typically went for morning walks, but concern grew when she failed to return. Initial surveillance footage from her home showed an individual believed to be Olmos searching inside her vehicle before walking away on foot. Her vehicle remained at the residence.

On Monday, officials released new dashcam footage provided by a passing motorist. The video, captured around 7 a.m. on Dec. 24, shows a person matching Olmos’ description walking northbound on Wildhorse Parkway between Shetland Wind and Caspian Spring.

The FBI and Homeland Security were assisting in the case by analyzing digital evidence and monitoring outbound flights and border crossings as a precaution.

Body discovered that matches Camila's description

According to investigators, a body matching Olmos' description was discovered about 4:45 p.m. Tuesday in an area of tall grass at Burning Bush Landscaping Company, within a few hundred yards of her home.

Investigators have not yet officially identified the body as that of Olmos, and the cause of death has not been determined. 

According to investigators, a firearm that investigators had been searching for in connection with the person's death was found near the body.

Angelique Johnson, 17

What we know:

The Sheriff's Office is also searching for 17-year-old Angelique Johnson, who was reported missing from the 130 block of Exeter Place, located near Potranco Road on the city’s northwest side.

Investigators believe Johnson still has her cell phone in her possession, but her current location and intended destination remain unknown.
