Authorities in Texas searching for a woman who vanished on Christmas Eve found a body and a gun in a field near her home, officials said Tuesday.

It isn’t clear whether the person is Camila Mendoza Olmos, 19, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar told reporters.

He added that although the medical examiner has not determined a cause and manner of death, authorities do not suspect foul play and the person may have died from self-harm.

"We hope that we can try to expedite that process to be able to get the community answers that everybody’s been waiting for," Salazar said.

Texas discontinued its clear alert for Olmos on Tuesday evening.
