Surveillance video shows an unknown person believed to be camila searching her vehicle at about 6:58 a.m.; the footage ends soon after adn the vehicle remained at the residence, suggesting she may have left on foot. Nearly a week later, dash\u2011cam footage from a passing driver captured a lone woman whose clothing matches Camila&#8217;s, giving investigators a potential direction of travel. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said the footage isn&#8217;t yet definitive but could provide an important lead; detectives are working around the clock and have not ruled out that the case could extend beyond the continental U.S. This is an active investigation; anyone with information is asked to contact the Bexar County Sheriff&#8217;s Office at (210) 335-6000 or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >email missingpersons@bexar<\/a>.org.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Every parent&rsquo;s worst nightmare is grappling with the uncertainty and terror surrounding a missing child.<\/p>\n<p>To have such an incident occur right around Christmas?
