I don’t see any posts.
Someone has clearly set it to private because all you see is her little introductory stating how wonderful her husband is and that she is truly blessed.

I hope she's ok, but I sincerely doubt that she would leave her children alone with this monster. I wonder if she was planning to leave him? Was he threatening her in that video at her work to do harm to her children, unless she came home, and he murdered her at their home?

Local group in need of volunteers to help search for missing mother of four
[...]

A local group, the Chain Breakers Search & Rescue, has been searching for Gallegos since she was reported missing on July 11.

[...]

The group is planning to have another search, but say they are in need of volunteers.

"One of the biggest challenges is just like the Andreen McDonald case—private property issues," Green said, referring to the Bexar County mother who was missing for months before her remains were discovered on a private property in July. "Being able to get in contact with the landowners, we definitely want to urge landowners to search their land."

San Antonio Police Department told KENS 5 Friday there are no developments in the case, but it is an ongoing investigation.

San Antonio Police said they were called to the couple’s address for a “cutting in progress” call on July 8. Investigators said Gallegos claimed he and his wife had an argument over possible infidelity. He told police the fight turned physical.

His arrest affidavit said he visible injuries to his face, a large scratch mark on his chest consistent with fingernails and a superficial cut on his index finger. According to police, the suspect said his wife cut him on the finger with a knife, dropped it and left the house on foot.

SAPD did see the victim arriving home from work on Sunday, July 7 just after 7:30 p.m. Investigators said less than 15 minutes later she entered the bedroom she shared with Gallegos. Police said it’s the last time video captured her image.

Investigators said Gallegos is visible on the video trying to keep the victim’s children away from the couple’s bedroom.

On July 8 SAPD said the surveillance cameras were shut off at 2:08 am. Police said they remained that way for nearly two hours. The cameras, per the arrest document, came back up at 3:44 am.

[...]

Investigators said when the video resumed Gallegos made multiple trips to a white Chevy Tahoe. Police said he left the home four times. Three trips were between 2-11 minutes in length. Then, SAPD said he left at 6:27 am and did not return until 8:48 am.

According to police, Gallegos came back to house unloading a chainsaw, shovel, trash bags and cleaning supplies. Investigators said his shirt appeared wet with sweat.

Officers said the video shows he appeared to shower and call police to his home for the cutting in progress call.

Wow, after all this and no other kind of arrest is possible? I am guessing they have to get search warrants for the house and the truck? If they had cameras in the house, maybe the truck has GPS or he had his cell phone with him and they can follow that to see where it went? Thankfully the children were removed. JMO

LE had a search warrant for the home to view the surveillance footage; seems like they could get one for the truck considering what they found on the camera. Maybe they have and are narrowing down areas to search.

On one hand, the fact that he was gone just 2 hours and 20 minutes gives me some hope that Cecilia will be found. On the other hand, the chainsaw and shovel...

This poor family. They must be devastated. :( MOO

However, according to arrest papers obtained on Thursday, investigators say interior and exterior cameras show Cecilia returned home from work at about 7:30 p.m. on July 7. Just a few minutes after walking into the house, the interior cameras show her walking into the bedroom she shares with Gallegos.

"After she enters this room she is never seen again on surveillance footage," the report states. "Four kids were in the home during this time and the suspect is seen keeping the children away from the bedroom that the wife was in."

Additionally, investigators said Gallegos shut off the surveillance system for nearly two hours the next morning.

"When video resumes, the suspect is seen going in and out of the bedroom and moving about the house, during this time the children are in their bedrooms," the report states.

The cameras also reportedly show Gallegos leaving the house several times in an SUV, then "unloading two shovels and a chainsaw," as well as trash bags and cleaning supplies. The report states "the suspect's shirt that he was wearing appeared to be wet with sweat."

The video then shows Gallegos taking a shower before he calling police to report the cutting.

Gallegos is charged with making a false report to police.

What absolute terrible news, I am so disgusted by hearing this. At the very least it seems an arrest is imminent... poor children. I hope they find comfort and healing in their next home

LE should be able to figure out how long it took him to go out and come back, and thus set a radius from the house to search.

FOX San Antonio reports that Gallegos told police that Cecilia walked away from their home off of the 5600 block of Southwick in Northwest San Antonio after they argued about infidelity. He also reportedly claimed the woman cut him on his finger with a knife before leaving.

Security footage at the home, however, tells a different story, investigators said.

According to outdoor security footage at the residence, Cecilia arrived home at 7:30 p.m. on July 7. Indoor footage showed Cecilia walk into her bedroom shortly after arriving home. She never appeared on footage again and was never seen leaving the home on July 8.

[...]

Family members indicated Cecilia’s cellphone, personal belongings, and car were left behind, along with her children. Cecilia’s sister said red flags were raised when Cecilia disappeared without her children.

“She would never leave her kids,” her sister, ML, said.

ML said her sister, Cecilia Huerta Gallegos, called family members to warn them that something bad might happen to her. She was on her way home to check on her kids when she made the call.

“She had money put up because she was trying to get a house and to put an alarm system in case for their safety,” ML said.

[...]

“They didn’t have a lot of friends because he wouldn’t let anybody visit her,” Lopez said.

[...]

On Saturday morning, the family will be conducting a search at Avril Avenue Trailhead Park near Old Highway 90 and Pinn Road. Volunteers are needed.

Lopez said they have accepted the fact that they will not find her alive, but they need to bring closure to her children.
