The heartbroken mother of missing teen Camila Mendoza Olmos hauntingly uttered the same four words as officials recovered a body near the family’s San Antonio home on Tuesday.
Rosario Olmos was left in shock when sheriff’s 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.
“So close to home,” the elder Olmos repeatedly uttered, according to Frank Trevino, who has helped with the search for Camila.
“Her eyes were not there,” Trevino told the Daily Mail about Rosario after the haunting discovery.
