Camila’s childhood best friend, Camila Estrella, said the pair were on the phone Tuesday, making plans to go dress shopping in order to look for an outfit for Estrella’s boyfriend’s family event.

“She said, ‘Bye Cami, I love you,'” recalled Estrella, according to the New York Post.

“She was someone that was just full of love,” she said, adding that the two of them spoke every day. “This is so random, we never expected this.”

A missing persons report was filed with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office after Camila’s disappearance. A CLEAR Alert was also issued. Olmos’ CLEAR (Coordinated Law Enforcement Adult Rescue) Alert lists Camila as missing and “possibly endangered.”

“I only ask God to please bring her back home,” Camila’s mother, Rosario Olmos, said. “Bring her back to me.”

“Pray, pray, pray and ask from the heart, to God and the angels, and the Virgin Mary, whoever you believe in, to please for my daughter to return,” she added.

Anybody with information about Camila's whereabouts has been urged to call the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office at (210)335-6000, or contact the BCSO Missing Persons Unit via missingpersons@bexar.org.
