In the weeks following the catastrophic July 4 flash floods, officials report a steep decline in the number of missing persons, now down to just three, compared with nearly 100 unaccounted for earlier this week.
The death toll holds steady at least 107 in Kerr County and more than 130 across the region.
County and state rescue teams, backed by volunteers and agencies from multiple states and Mexico, say this reduction reflects thorough verification efforts and hundreds being found safe or tragically identified.
Still, today marks a sobering milestone: only three family members remain missing, and search crews are continuing to comb the rugged Guadalupe River terrain in hopes of a final resolution.
Rescue officials caution the process isn’t over - ground teams are methodically working through leads and coordinating with survivors and local agencies, urging residents to stay alert to recovery efforts and support ongoing relief operations.
