18-Year-Old Texas Student Disappears Days Before College Enrollment
Camilla Fuentes, an 18-year-old high school graduate from Rowlett, Texas, vanished on Thursday afternoon, leaving a note and her car at her workplace.
Eighteen-year-old Camilla Fuentes, a recent high school graduate from Rowlett, Texas, disappeared on Thursday evening after her family believed she had left for a shift at a local restaurant. Her car was later discovered outside the North Garland eatery, still holding her keys, Apple Watch and AirPods, but missing her laptop and iPad. Investigators also learned that her passport, birth certificate and Social Security card were taken from a lockbox at her home before she vanished.
Fuentes had been preparing to start her freshman year studying civil engineering at Villanova University, and her sudden disappearance is out of character, according to her family. Police have not identified any signs of criminal activity, yet her relatives suspect possible coercion. The Rowlett Police Department has opened a missing-person case and is urging anyone with information to come forward.
