Number of missing in hardest hit Texas flood region drops dramatically — as many have been found safe
The number of people reported missing in the hardest hit Texas flood region during the catastrophic floods has plunged dramatically from nearly 100 as most have been found safe, officials announced Saturday. Only three people remain unaccounted for in Kerr County – down sharply from 97 earlier this week – after deadly floodwaters tore through the Lone Star State on July 4. 'Through extensive follow-up work among state and local agencies, many individuals who were initially reported as missing have been verified as safe and removed from this list,' Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice said in a statement.

About 160 people were unaccounted for in Kerr County alone at the height of the catastrophe.

Kerr County was the epicenter of destruction when the Guadalupe River surged 20 feet in just 90 minutes during the early hours of the Fourth of July, killing 27 children and counselors at Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp located on the river bank. 3 A man attempted to clear debris from the Guadalupe River following catastrophic floods.

The disaster has since sparked scrutiny over the state's emergency response and warning systems as the deadly storm wreaked havoc.

Number missing in Texas floods drops from 97 to 3, officials say
The number of people thought to be missing in the devastating floods in Kerr County, Texas, over the Fourth of July holiday weekend has been revised down from at least 97 to three, officials announced July 19. The city of Kerrville, Texas, said the Kerr County Flood Disaster Joint Information Center confirmed that "through extensive follow-up work among state and local agencies, many individuals who were initially reported as missing have been verified as safe and removed from the list." 'We are profoundly grateful to the more than 1,000 local, state, and federal authorities who have worked tirelessly in the wake of the devastating flood that struck our community,' Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice said. On July 15, Gov. Greg Abbott said 97 people were still listed as missing in the greater Kerrville area, down from 160-plus about a week ago. 'This remarkable progress reflects countless hours of coordinated search and rescue operations, careful investigative work, and an unwavering commitment to bringing clarity and hope to families during an unimaginably difficult time,' Rice said. Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly thanked law enforcement and others who helped verify the number missing. 'Your dedication, professionalism, and compassion have brought comfort and answers to so many." Kelly had said earlier that a large percentage of those unaccounted for were probably visiting the area. He said many tourists had come for the Independence Day weekend fireworks and concert. Historic flooding overwhelmed the banks of the Guadalupe River in the predawn hours of July 4. Recovery operations are continuing to search for those still missing. As of July 17, Abbott said, the death toll stood at 135 statewide, with 116 from Kerr County perishing in the floods. Contributing: John Bacon

Scoop: Top Secret Service official targeted in "swatting" attack
A top Secret Service official was the target of a " swatting" incident at his home on the Fourth of July, according to an agency official. Why it matters: While the incident didn't lead to any harm, it's another example of just how difficult it's become for law enforcement to reign in the the wave of hoax calls. Zoom in: Someone called 9-1-1 on July 4 to falsely report that the senior-level official's daughter was running around the house with a weapon, Michael Centrella, assistant director of the Secret Service's office of field operations, told a small gathering of tech executives Thursday at the Deepfake Resilience Symposium in San Francisco. The voice on the phone appeared to be trying to mimic the agent's, but law enforcement is still investigating whether the caller used a precise deepfake of the agent's voice or just a synthesizer to sound like a man around his age, Centrella added. However, the bad actor's plan was foiled by a simple fact: The agent doesn't have a daughter, and his local law enforcement knew that. The Secret Service asked Axios to keep the name of the official who was targeted anonymous to protect them and their family from copycat attacks. What they're saying:"We were able to protect [the senior official] and not have a major incident," Centrella said. "But you've seen these cases now across the country, they are very impactful." The big picture: " Swatting" — where a bad actor calls call 9-1-1 and reports a fake incident, resulting in armed police officers responding to a home address — has been on the rise in D.C. in recent years. Prominent targets have included several of President Trump's cabinet nominees, both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, various judges and government agency officials. The Secret Service target does not share the same level of protection as other public officials who have been victims. AI tools have made voice cloning easier, and bad actors can easily spoof phone numbers to make themselves harder to detect. Threat level: Beyond the possibility of a frightening interaction with police, the calls are also troubling because they indicate the caller knows their target's personal address. In this case, the targeted agent is a very private person, and it's difficult to find details about his personal life online.
