Body found during search for missing Texas teen Camila Mendoza Olmos

Investigators in Texas announced on Tuesday that a body was discovered as the search for 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos was underway.

The body had clothing that matched Mendoza Olmos’ clothing description, but investigators have yet to confirm the identity.

Investigators were unable to say whether the person died by suicide or by homicide.

It was noted that a firearm was found near the body.

The medical examiner will release an identity and a cause of death in the coming days, according to a FOX 4 News report.

Mendoza Olmos is believed to have left her home on Christmas Eve.

The missing teen was last seen wearing a baby blue and black hoodie, baby blue pajama pants and white shoes, according to authorities.

"We just have a feeling that someone took her," her aunt, Nancy Olmos, told Fox News' Lawrence Jones on "FOX & Friends" Tuesday morning. "Someone took her from outside."

The missing teen's cousin, Destiny Mendoza, also told the show that nothing seemed unusual the last time she spoke with Mendoza Olmos on Dec. 23.
