Texas — Authorities have confirmed that they have located the final of the 27 girls who vanished from Camp Mystic during the destructive storm, following weeks of searching.

The young girl was found in a wooded area that had only recently become accessible after the floodwaters receded, about 800 meters from her family’s house. The site had previously been searched, officials said, but in the early phases of the rescue operation, it was challenging to navigate due to the unstable ground and heavy debris.

One of the responding officers stated, “She was lying peacefully.”
“There were no overt indications of difficulty. However, we all fell silent when we saw her face.

A Heartbreaking Moment for Everyone

To protect the privacy of the family, the girl’s identity has not been made public; however, police have confirmed that she was the youngest of the 27 people who went missing. The moment of discovery was characterized as “deeply emotional” by first responders and volunteers who had participated in the search.

One rescuer remarked, “In the last few weeks, we’ve seen so much.”
However, this time was different. The whole town seemed to have stopped breathing.

After verifying her identity, several police officers and emergency personnel at the scene reportedly broke down in tears. In earlier days, many had spoken with the girl’s parents in an attempt to provide closure, but not in this manner.

A Community in Sorrow
Locals started leaving messages, flowers, and candles close to the edge of the forested trail where she was discovered in the hours after the announcement. Neighbors and classmates gathered in silence, some holding hands, others just standing.

A family friend remarked, “She was almost home.”
“Very near. We prayed for a miracle to happen.

In a brief statement, the girl’s family thanked everyone who assisted in the search and urged people to remember the happiness she brought to those around her, but they have requested privacy.

The investigation is still ongoing.
The complete circumstances surrounding the 27 girls’ disappearance, including whether environmental factors, structural negligence, or other causes were involved, are still being looked into by authorities. Forensic teams now have the complete picture to assist in reconstructing the timeline of what actually occurred during the storm thanks to the final discovery.

Detective Lila Moreno declared, “This marks the conclusion of one chapter.”
“However, it’s also the start of comprehension.”
