If I were this girl's father, the police wouldn't have found this person, but just maybe found a body.
And no one would have been the wiser because you can bet he wasn't telling anyone where he was or what he was up to. I wouldn't have gone looking without a gun at the ready.
Had a friend God rest his soul told me his grandparents had land in the mountains with multiple old wells that had partially collapsed. So deep in Appalachia no one would have known. Period
Gun? I had extremely sharp objects in mind.
Nope, not even a body... that's why the Good Lord invented the southern weed, kudzu, so as to provide dumping places for human trash like this one.
Pigs work faster.
Wood clippers even faster
Better use acid bath, furnace or pigs after or you'll still have the same amount of DNA evidence afterwards just lots more pieces. Pigs would be my default. Plausible deniability, "He must've fell in their pen when I wasn't around..." and the only thing to get rid of is their teeth but that'd be pretty easy with a hammer and anvil and just go sprinkle the dust on the freeway.
Oh myyy. Mason Verger would be pink with envy
Dump em in the swamp- let the gators handle it - or just the heat and humidity will destroy a deer body in under 3 days lol
I sure wouldn't have gone looking for her w/o a gun.
Questions I have:
The kidnapper didn't know to shut the girl's phone off and pull out the battery? Why didn't he?
The dad used 'find my iPhone', but the police didn't?
A 15-year-old girl and a 23-year-old man are in a truck in the woods partially clothed and the girl's phone is on and her dog is with her in the truck? Did she know this guy? Were they having a private meet-up?
She wasn't gone for very long. The article just said she didn't return at the normally expected time. So, how long was she gone?
Something feels off about this.
Maybe he didn't realize she had a phone on her, or maybe he just wasn't that smart. Not all criminals are intelligent, especially if they're on drugs.
According to the article, she was apparently kidnapped at knifepoint.
Police weren't aware until the father rescued his daughter and then called police.
You haven't been able to remove the battery in phones since like 2015 or before. Everything after that is mostly permanent batteries so everything is smaller, unrepairable, and the nonstop spying of you cannot be easily stopped by pulling out a removable battery.
The last cellphone I had was a fucking Samsung s3 i think... Samsung is fucking on Version S34 or some insane shit
The good news is it's still possible to get a modern phone with a removable battery - Samsung xcover 7 pro.
The bad news is the cameras....are not great. And the performance you get for the price you pay for such a phone leaves a bit to be desired.
But it's a removable battery while retaining ip68 water and dust resistance.
No need to spend $100+ to have a guy get into it to replace battery for you. Takes 5 seconds to pop off the back and pop in a new battery.
Or if you want to be off grid, just pop the battery out.
Did you read the part about a knife?
You have to understand Montgomery County, TX.
It's just North of Houston, and there are a LOT of places there where people (bodies) can get lost.
New Caney is pretty special. They have their own culture going on, poor, largely Hispanic and country working folk. You don't go there unless you belong, are related or there for a reason.
Cut-n-Shoot, Woodbranch, Grangerland, etc... there's a lot of heavily forested river bottom land where something can be kept until the next river flood carries it 20 miles downstream. There's also a lot of rural drug use in some of those areas.
The perp is lucky the police got him. There are some areas you can mess around... but some areas of Montgomery County aren't those. North of New Caney, you can shoot off a 12-gauge in your front yard or street and nobody will ask questions, no neighbors heard it or saw anything. Dude got lucky it didn't go further. If this guy had friends or big family, it could have gone much worse.
Montgomery County and the entire area is full of Patriots. Remember POTUS has his largest Rally in that area. I'm shocked that the guy was found alive...
Oh Look! It's an illegal.
I’m proud of the FATHER
S.S.S. Third S being the most critical.
Someone doesn't know how to revenge correctly!
You got that right!
I bet this motherfucker is illegal.
But did he walk in and say... "Good evening; I'm Chris Hanson."?
I love how the Sheriffs' department acts like they did something there, lol. It was the father that did it all. He was a lot more restrained than I would be had it been my daughter.
There is a difference between killing and murder. I'm beginning to think that if a bad person did a bad thing and you have the means to carry out a death sentence at the moment instead of waiting years for a jury trial, then that might be considered a killing. The perp did wrong and needs to face the consequences. Whether those consequences come from a single pissed off father or a jury of 12 individuals, they both will lead to the same result.........the perp is taken off this rock.
The problem is, today's justice system will likely charge and convict the wrong person. Until that's fixed, you can't count on justice.
Who were the kidnappers and were they legal?
The police arrested him for interrupting government business I am sure.
Fast acting and thinking Dad saved the daughter! He was brave, determined and an all a Dad should be.
When I heard about this story and saw this picture, I was wondering if this is his mug shot, and if so why he wasn't beaten to a pulp?
Thank goodness these people are stupid
I think this is another one in Texas.
Search Intensifies for Teen Girl Who Vanished on Christmas Eve Near Known Texas Trafficking Area by Shanon Quaranta, Contributor December 27, 2025 https://www.crimeonline.com/2025/12/27/search-intensifies-for-teen-girl-who-vanished-on-christmas-eve-near-known-texas-trafficking-area/ The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is requesting public assistance to locate a missing Texas teen who vanished from her northwest Bexar County home on Christmas Eve.
The sheriff’s office said that Camila Mendoza Olmos, 19, was last seen leaving her residence in the 11000 block of Caspian Spring a little before 7 a.m. on Wednesday.
Daily Mail reports that the area that she vanished around an area known by authorities as being a “human trafficking hotspot.”
According to family members, Camila typically leaves for a morning walk around that time. However, they became alarmed when she failed to return home.
Advertisement Surveillance footage from the morning of her disappearance captured someone believed to be Camila searching her vehicle for an unknown item shortly before the video ends.
Investigators believe she left the property on foot, as her vehicle was left behind at the residence. She is thought to have only her car keys and potentially her driver’s license in her possession.
Advertisement Police issued a Clear Alert – a Texas statewide alert that helps track down missing and possibly at-risk adults – shortly after Camila’s disappearance.
Camila’s mother, Rosario Olmos, shared the distressing timeline of the morning her daughter vanished, as reported by KENS5.
The mother and daughter had been sharing a bed on Wednesday morning, when Rosario felt Camila get up. When Rosario fully awoke roughly an hour and a half later, Camila was nowhere to be found.
Advertisement Suspicion grew when Rosario discovered her daughter’s cell phone left behind on the bed, powered off. Camila’s vehicle remained parked at the residence.
“I called her cell phone, but the cell phone was there on the bed, and it was turned off,” Rosario said.
“I put it to charge and went out to look for her. I thought I would find her like other times, walking, and we would come home together.”
Advertisement The situation escalated after Rosario contacted both Camila’s father and her boyfriend, discovering that neither had heard from her. Rosario then she reached out to the sheriff’s office to file a missing person report.
Friends and family of the missing 19-year-old combed the neighborhoods near the home, but their efforts resulted in no leads.
Rosario emphasized that this disappearance is entirely out of character for her daughter and that the mother and daughter stay in close contact, knowing about each other’s whereabouts.
Advertisement Rosario made an emotional and public appeal for spiritual support.
“I only ask God to please bring her back home,” she 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 from my daughter to return.”
Advertisement Camila’s aunt, Nancy Olmos, urged people to pray and distribute Camila’s information in an online plea, Daily Mail reported.
“Please help me and my family continue to share this,” Nancy wrote. ‘We are still searching for my sweet angel, my niece, Camila Mendoza Olmos, 19 years old.”
Camila is described as standing 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing approximately 110 pounds. She was last seen wearing a baby blue and black hoodie, baby blue pajama bottoms, and white shoes.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is encouraging anyone who may have seen Camila Olmos or who has information regarding her current location to contact them at (210) 335-6000 or via email at [email protected].
