Officials are still searching for at least two girls from North Texas who were reported missing after flash flooding along the Guadalupe River Friday.
The families of three North Texas children say their daughters were among those who did not survive the flash flooding at Camp Mystic Friday in the Texas Hill Country. Two others say their daughters are still missing.

Before dawn Friday, heavy tropical rain over Central Texas filled the Guadalupe River, which rose 26 feet in about 45 minutes. In the darkness, the wall of fast-moving water then indiscriminately washed people, homes, vehicles and trees downstream.

One of the areas hit was Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp southwest of Hunt along the Guadalupe River. Officials confirmed Saturday they were still looking for 27 children missing from the camp.

NBC 5 Dallas learned Friday some of the missing girls were from North Texas.

Two families have confirmed to NBC 5 that their daughters did not survive the flood and three others are awaiting word. The information shared with NBC 5 from those families is below.

Missing campers

The families of Hadley Hanna and Wynne Naylor, told NBC 5 on Friday that their daughters were among the more than two dozen girls missing from Camp Mystic.

The mother of Renee Smajstrla, who lives in Kerr County, told NBC 5 that her daughter was initially among those reported missing and that she was later confirmed to have died in the flooding. She said Renee shared a cabin with Eloise Peck and Lila Bonner, both of Dallas.

The mother of 8-year-old Anna Margaret Bellows confirmed late Saturday night that her body was recovered. The Houston girl also shared a cabin with the girls from North Texas.

As of this writing, there has been no update on the ongoing search for the missing girls.
