Only 2 remain missing from Hill Country floods, including a girl from Camp Mystic, Gov. Abbott says

KERR COUNTY, Texas – Only one girl from Camp Mystic and one adult male remain missing more than two weeks after the deadly Hill Country floods, Gov. Greg Abbott said on social media Tuesday.

The announcement came as Abbott shared that the body of a missing woman was recovered by the Texas Department of Public Safety in the Kerrville area.

The Kerr County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the information in the governor’s post on social media Wednesday.

As of Wednesday, 108 people — 71 adults and 37 children — were killed in connection with the deadly Fourth of July flood in Kerr County.

On July 19, Kerrville officials dropped their count of missing people from 97 down to just three.

In a Kerr County Commissioners’ Court meeting Monday, Judge Rob Kelly said most of the people removed from the list were tourists that hadn’t checked in with loved ones.

Abbott concluded the social media post with the phrase “our search continues,” reiterating a commitment that search and rescue teams would not stop until everyone has been found.
