A search was underway in Texas on Tuesday for a teenage girl who has been missing since Christmas Eve, police said.

Camila Mendoza Olmos was last seen leaving her house in northwest Bexar County on Wednesday just before 7 a.m., according to the the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. Her family said it was typical for 19-year-old Olmos to take a morning walk, and they reported her missing when she failed to return. Authorities at the time released security video that appears to show her searching through a car parked outside her home before head down the street.

During a press conference on Monday, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said investigators recently received dashcam video from a person who passed by a woman walking by herself on Wednesday. He told reporters that the woman in the clip resembles Olmos and that the video was recorded just a few blocks away from her home.

“The only items known to be on her person are her car key and possibly her driver’s license,” the sheriff’s office said on Facebook.

She was last seen wearing a baby-blue and black hoodie, baby-blue pajama bottoms and white shoes. Authorities believe Olmos likely left her home on foot and she is believed to be in “imminent danger,” Salazar told ABC News. He did not provide further details on the matter.

Olmos’ mental health may have also played a role in her disappearance, Salazar told NBC News, noting that she was experiencing “some depression issues” before she went missing.

“We have to look at the whole gamut of possibilities,” Salazar said. “Did she leave the country? Did she leave the country in the company of somebody else? Has she been taken against her will?”
