Kerrville officials confirm 3 people still missing From July 4 flood

City officials confirmed Sunday that three people remain missing from the July 4 flood that killed 107 people in Kerr County, down from hundreds initially reported in the disaster’s aftermath.

The Kerr County Lead has confirmed the names of at least two of the missing: Tianna Mabey and Baldomero Ramirez. Mabey was reported missing at HTR TX campground in Ingram.

The Kerrville Police Department said investigators worked with the Texas Department of Public Safety to verify the status of each person reported missing through a dedicated hotline and email system established after the flood.

“This process takes time, but it is essential to ensure that every lead is thoroughly followed and each person is properly accounted for,” said Kerrville Police Public Information Officer Jonathan Lamb. “We understand how critical it is to report this information accurately — not only for the families affected but for the integrity of our emergency response as a whole.”

The dramatic reduction from initial reports reflects the challenging task of confirming missing persons after a mass casualty event. Officials said the verification process involved continuous communication with families, local agencies and affected communities.

Searchers continue working to locate the three remaining missing individuals and reunite them with their families. State and local officials maintain their search efforts while supporting communities through the ongoing recovery process.

“While the updated figure offers some relief, searchers remain focused on reuniting the three individuals who are still unaccounted for with their families,” Lamb said.

The July 4 flash flood struck Kerr County in the early morning hours, becoming one of the deadliest natural disasters in recent Texas history. The disaster prompted massive search and rescue operations involving more than 1,000 local, state and federal responders along with thousands of volunteers.

City and county officials expressed gratitude for public patience and the dedication of first responders and investigators during the recovery effort.

The flood’s death toll of 107 people has remained unchanged for several consecutive days as search teams continue their work along the Guadalupe River and surrounding areas.
