New details have been revealed about some of the young girls who remain missing after devastating floods hit Texas this week.
At least 24 people have died in Kerr County, and one person has died in Kendall County, after the catastrophic floods hit central Texas on Friday, July 4, CNN reported.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said in a press conference that 23 girls remain unaccounted for out of 750 from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls-only summer camp near the Guadalupe River, per Dallas outlet WFAA. (Floods in the river caused it to reach its second-highest height ever, according to ABC affiliate Eyewitness News.)
One of the girls currently unaccounted for is Hadley Hanna, 8, of Dallas, her mother told WFAA. Hanna’s father is currently on the ground searching for her in Kerr County, according to FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth.
Eloise Peck and Lila Bonner of Dallas also remain missing. The friends were reportedly staying in the same cabin with several others.

Camp members Molly DeWitt, Lainey Landry and Kellyanne Lytal are also missing, according to various family members, KSAT, Fox 26 Houston and CNN reported.
Other missing girls have since been confirmed dead, including Lila Bonner and Janie Hunt, loved ones tell PEOPLE.
Greta Toranzo and Virginia Hollis, who both attended the camp, remain unaccounted for, too, WANE 15 reported.
Toranzo is a student at Sinclair Elementary, the school confirmed in a post shared on Instagram.

“We are devastated to share that one of our Sinclair students is missing from Camp Mystic in the Kerr County Floods,” the school wrote.
“Her parents have asked that her picture be shared far and wide as they search for her. Please keep Greta and her family in your thoughts,” the caption continued.
In a statement on July 4, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the state “is providing all necessary resources to Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt and the entire Texas Hill Country dealing with these devastating floods.”

“The State of Texas today has mobilized additional resources in addition to the resources sent in preparation for the storms,” he continued. “I urge Texans to heed guidance from state and local officials and monitor local forecasts to avoid driving into flooded areas.”
PEOPLE has reached out to the Kerr County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) for an update on the missing girls.
