The heartbroken mother of missing teen Camila Mendoza Olmos hauntingly uttered the same four words as officials recovered a body near the familyâs San Antonio home on Tuesday.
Rosario Olmos was left in shock when sheriffâs deputies and FBI agents recovered human remains in a Bexar County field nearly a full week after the 19-year-old disappeared during her Christmas Eve walk.
âSo close to home,â the elder Olmos repeatedly uttered, according to Frank Trevino, who has helped with the search for Camila.
âHer eyes were not there,â Trevino told the Daily Mail about Rosario after the haunting discovery.

The body found Tuesday was noted to have been in the field for about five or six days, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar told reporters.
A firearm owned by a relative was reported missing from the home after Olmos disappeared.
A gun was recovered near the body, but officials havenât announced if it was the same one that had gone missing at the familyâs home.
The gun found in the field was a 9mm Luger pistol, according to the Daily Mail, reporting it to be the same make as the one

Salazar revealed that authorities have discovered information leading them to believe that Olmos, 19, was experiencing suicidal ideations and exhibited signs of depression.
He added it appeared Olmos âwas a young person going through a very tough time in her life.â
She was having a âtough timeâ with school, work, and a relationship that had recently ended, Salazar said.
