On Monday morning, family members gathered to continue their search.
“Your Mom is destroyed, but she’s very strong and we’re going to find you,” Nancy Olmos, Camila’s aunt, told KSAT’s Devan Karp. “Even if we had to pick up a rock, we will find you. We will find you, baby. We’re coming to you. Hold tight, fight it, you know God, you know God, so please baby, please, honey pray to God that he will bring you to us.”
Camila’s mother was also present on Monday, helping with the search.
“It’s not Christmas for me; it’s not for us. It is the most terrible day of my life,” said Rosario Olmos.
Some family members drove 17 hours from California to Texas to help search for her along with more than 100 other people, according to Camila’s dad, Alfonso Mendoza.
Olmos was last seen wearing a black North Face sweater with baby blue accents, baby blue shorts and white shoes.
