⚠️ WARNING: This post contains information regarding a missing and possibly endangered person A desperate search is underway for 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, who vanished without a trace on Christmas Eve morning in northwest Bexar County, Texas. Camila was last seen around 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday, December 24, after leaving her home on the outskirts of San Antonio for what was believed to be a routine morning walk. A CLEAR Alert—Texas' statewide system for locating endangered adults—has been issued to assist in the search. Surveillance footage from the morning of her disappearance shows an individual believed to be Camila searching for an item inside her vehicle. However, the car was left behind at the home, and Camila’s mother, Rosario Olmos, discovered her daughter’s cell phone sitting on her bed, turned off. Camila is described as 5'4" tall, weighing approximately 110 pounds, and was last seen wearing a baby blue and black hoodie, baby blue pajama bottoms, and white shoes. The disappearance has sparked intense concern as the region is known by law enforcement as a frequent human-trafficking corridor. Family members and friends spent Christmas Day searching the surrounding areas, but no signs of the teen have been found. Camila's aunt, Nancy Olmos, issued an emotional plea on social media, describing her niece as deeply religious and a "sweet angel," asking the community to pray for her safe return. Authorities are urging anyone in the Bexar County area with residential security cameras to review their footage from Wednesday morning. 🙏Please share to spread awareness ⚠️DISCLAIMER: The information shared is based on initial reports and official statements, may not be fully verified, and is presented as reported.

Snippet.

I let my magic out, let it brush up against the music before wrenching it back with a quick glance at the ceiling. Always watching. Always judging. I shut my eyes. Those assholes."

Mia Miller wants out. Out of the cultish Olympus society. Out of secret identities and quests. But now that her biggest secret's been spilled by a mysterious author, she may not have the choice. Could she really give up her music powers, anyway? #RoundTableMentor #YA #F
