Byline: Bastrop County, Texas — July 2025
In a twist no one expected, the mother of one of the 27 missing girls from the Camp Wrenwood flood disaster has shared a deeply emotional and controversial revelation — a dream she had just before dawn that convinced her her daughter is still alive.
Even more unsettling: the dream led to a specific location, 10 kilometers from the disaster site, in a direction rescuers had deemed too dangerous to explore… until now.
🌙 The Dream: “She was calling my name from the rocks”
According to Clara Mendoza, mother of 10-year-old Lyla, she awoke crying after a vivid dream in which she saw her daughter:
“…standing barefoot on dark rocks, surrounded by broken branches. She said: ‘Mom, I’m cold — but I’m not gone. I’m here. Tell them to look near the dead trees.’”
She immediately reported the dream to search coordinators — who were initially skeptical — but changed their stance after thermal drones detected anomalous heat readings in the exact direction Clara described.
🧭 Location: A 10km Outcrop Past Flood Zone, Previously Labeled “Impassable”
The area in question lies northwest of the camp, beyond a collapsed ravine and thick brush once ruled “impossible to cross” without heavy machinery.
However, satellite imagery taken hours before the flood suggests a narrow forest trail may have remained intact long enough for the girls to travel — possibly in an attempt to find higher ground.
Rescuers have now cleared the path and sent a specialized team into the area.
🚁 Teams Arrive — Signs Found
On Sunday morning, searchers reported finding scraps of a torn raincoat and small candy wrappers near a tree marked with a child's name carved in the bark: “Lyla.”
Bloodhounds have also picked up a fresh scent trail, raising hopes that at least one girl may have survived and moved inland.
“We don’t discount dreams,” said Lead Investigator Ron Tully. “When a mother knows, we listen — and in this case, she may have saved her daughter’s life.”
💬 America Reacts: “A Mother’s Intuition Is Real”
Social media has exploded with the hashtag #FindLyla, as Americans rally behind Clara’s belief and urge continued efforts in the new direction.
-
“This mother woke up and knew. That’s not coincidence.”
-
“She may have just changed the entire rescue operation.”
🔚 Final Word
One dream.
One direction.
And now… a new hope.
Clara Mendoza saw her daughter in a vision —
And now, the entire state of Texas is following her lead.
