Camilon went missing while driving her car from her hometown Tuy to Batangas City for a meeting. She was last seen on October 12, 2023 at XentroMall Lemery in Lemery, Batangas.[2][3] She also phoned her mother to inform her that she was already at a gasoline station in Bauan.[4]
Police are treating her disappearance as a kidnapping, as witnesses have reported her bloody, unconscious body being removed from her car and transferred to another vehicle.[5][6][7]
The Philippine Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs per Senator Raffy Tulfo issued a subpoena ad testificandum to main suspect Police Major Allan de Castro and his driver-bodyguard Jefrrey Magpantay who were accused of kidnapping and illegal detention. De Castro was dismissed from service on January 16, 2024. [8]
