😢 Heartbreak in Texas! A woman’s body was found in Kerr County after the devastating July 4 floods that claimed 137 lives, leaving just two—a man and a young girl—still missing. What’s behind this tragic search?
Kerr County officials say that the body of a missing female flood victim has been recovered, leaving only two people remaining missing after the July 4 flood of the Guadalupe River.
County officials said Wednesday that first responders recovered the victim and the Texas DPS confirmed the victim was one of the three people missing since the flood.
Earlier this week, the number of people missing was reduced from 97 to three. After the most recent victim was found, that number is now at two.
The names of the two people who remain missing have not been released, but Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted that they are a man and a girl from Camp Mystic.
Kerr County officials said in the aftermath of the flood, the public was urged to report anyone they believed might be missing, and the plea resulted in a large volume of reports. The initial count of more than 160 missing was a raw number based on unverified reports from concerned family and friends.
After reviewing each case, law enforcement learned some people who had been reported missing were never in the flood impact area while others returned to their homes outside of Kerr County and didn’t realize they’d been listed among the missing.
The county also confirmed that some of those who had been reported missing were later found deceased.
“While the situation remains fluid, the current number of missing persons now represents only those cases that remain verified after exhaustive investigative efforts,” the county said. “We thank the public for their continued cooperation and support during this difficult time. Your vigilance and communication have played a vital role in helping us bring clarity and answers to families across the region.”
As of Wednesday, there have been 137 people confirmed to have died in the flood, according to Texas Department of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd, who shared the latest information during a meeting with the Texas House Select Committee on Disaster Preparedness and Flooding.
