July 18, 2025 – Texas, USA
Just 30 minutes ago, authorities confirmed that two people have died after a vehicle was discovered submerged in a flooded riverbed near Camp Mystic, the site of ongoing rescue and investigation efforts tied to the disappearance of 27 girls.
🚨 A Locked Car and a Gruesome Discovery
At approximately 6:15 PM local time, search volunteers spotted a partially visible sedan near a collapsed bridge about 2 kilometers east of Camp Mystic. The car had apparently been swept off the road during last night’s flash flood, which followed hours of heavy rainfall across central Texas.
First responders arrived within minutes and attempted to open the vehicle, which was still locked from the inside. When the door was finally forced open, two lifeless bodies were found inside — a man and a woman, both adults.
🌧️ Storm-Related Tragedy
Authorities believe the deaths are directly related to the extreme weather system that battered the region last night. Officials say the victims were likely trapped inside the vehicle as waters rose rapidly, leaving no time to escape.
Sheriff Monica Reyes spoke briefly at the scene:
“It’s a devastating reminder that these floods are not just an inconvenience — they’re deadly. Our hearts go out to the families of these individuals.”
🕵️ Connection to Camp Mystic?
Investigators have not released the identities of the victims but confirmed that the vehicle does not appear to be connected to the missing persons case at Camp Mystic at this time. However, given the proximity and timing, they are proceeding with caution and will be cross-referencing names and backgrounds.
Search efforts for the 27 missing girls have continued nonstop for over a week, and any discovery near the area is being handled with increased scrutiny.
🚑 What Happens Next
The bodies have been transported to a nearby medical facility for autopsy and identification. Investigators are currently working to trace the vehicle’s registration, while flood response teams continue scanning the surrounding area for other possible storm victims.
Meanwhile, locals are being urged to stay away from flooded zones and avoid driving through water-covered roads — no matter how shallow they may appear.
