This is such a horrible story, but it’s also so similar to what happened in the same general area 38 years ago in 1987..
At least four of the missing Camp Mystic girls were found dead during search and rescue operations following the devastating flooding in Texas as the death toll rose to 27, according to officials and local reports.
Renee Smajstrla, 8; Sarah Marsh, 8; Janie Hunt, 9; and Lila Bonner were among as many as 27 campers who were washed away in the deadly Guadalupe River flash floods.
A total of 27 bodies were recovered as of Saturday — nine of which were children, Kerr County Sheriff Larry L. Leitha said at a press conference.
“Thank you to all our friends and family for all the prayers and outreach. Renee has been found and while not the outcome we prayed for, the social media outreach likely assisted the first responders in helping to identify her so quickly,” her uncle wrote on Facebook along with a picture of the young girl beaming.
“We are thankful she was with her friends and having the time of her life, as evidenced by this picture from yesterday. She will forever be living her best life at Camp Mystic. Please continue to pray for the other families in Kerrville.”
Sarah, of Mountain Brook, Alabama, was also found dead, her grandmother revealed on Facebook.
