A body has been found amid a search for a -Texas- teenager who went missing on Christmas Eve, /authorities said Tuesday.

Nineteen-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos had been seen on camera searching her car in the early hours, then apparently leaving on foot, her vehicle still in the driveway. Behind that quiet departure, investigators now believe, was a storm no one fully saw: signs of depression, talk of self-harm, the invisible weight so many young people carry alone. When search teams circled back to the field just 100 yards from her northwest Bexar County home, the tall grass hid what they had missed before. A body in familiar clothing. A firearm nearby.Sheriff Javier Salazar chose his words carefully: no suspected foul play, indicators of self-harm, a family and community left in limbo until the medical examiner confirms what everyone fears. The official answers will come, but they cannot explain the ache of a life cut short, or the haunting question of whether someone could have reached her in time.
