Teen Camilla Fuentes goes missing just days before heading to college as family makes concerning discovery

An 18-year-old high school graduate mysteriously vanished just days before she was set to head off to college – but left behind a note.

Camilla Fuentes was last seen Thursday around 4:30 p.m., when her family believed she had left for work – but grew worried when she didn’t return to her home in Rowlett, Texas.

They found her car parked outside the restaurant where she works in North Garland, with her keys, Apple Watch and AirPods all inside the vehicle – though her laptop and iPad were missing, Fox 4 News reports.

Her manager said she didn’t have work that day and that she didn’t show up for her shift on Friday.

She left behind a note – the contents of which were not immediately known – and police said her passport, birth certificate and Social Security card were taken from a lockbox at the family home before she disappeared.

Her family said vanishing unannounced was out of character for the teen and said she couldn’t wait to head to Villanova University to study civil engineering.

Although police said they don’t suspect foul play, the family believes she may have been “coerced,” according to the outlet.
