Two people remain missing following the deadly July 4 flooding in Central Texas, including a girl from Camp Mystic and an adult male, Gov. Greg Abbott said.
Over the weekend, the number of people reported missing dropped from 160 to three, after authorities determined that many had already been found safe.
"Task Force 1 recovered the body of a missing adult female lost in the flood," Abbott posted on X. "She was recovered in the Kerrville area."
More than 130 people were killed when the Guadalupe River rapidly swelled during an early morning storm on Independence Day.
