The remains of Katherine Ferruzzo, the only Camp Mystic counselor who remained unaccounted for, were found Friday, her family said in a statement. Ferruzzo, 19, is among the 27 Camp Mystic campers and counselors who died during the devastating July 4 flooding in Kerr County. She was serving as a counselor at the camp's Bubble Inn this summer.
At least 19 of the cabins at Camp Mystic were located in designated flood zones, including some in an area deemed “extremely hazardous” by the county.
