The search for flood victims in Kerr County, Texas, is spearheaded by Thad Heartfield, an attorney whose son is among the missing. Heartfield began the search immediately after the flood destroyed his family's cabin, which was washed away along with his son Aidan and his friends. As of Tuesday, volunteers have recovered nine bodies, including two of Aidan's friends. The recovery effort is slow and challenging due to the extensive debris from the flooding, which resulted in at least 109 deaths and over 160 missing people.
The search for victims of the July 4 flood in Kerr County is led by Thad Heartfield, an attorney from Beaumont who is missing his son and another victim.

The overall death toll from the flooding reached at least 109, with more than 160 people reported missing. Each pile of debris must be searched for remains.
