Joyce Catherine Badon, a 21-year-old from Texas, was swept away during a flood in Hunt. After days of searching, her body was found and identified. Her parents, Ty and Kelleye Badon, expressed gratitude for the support and continue to hope for the recovery of her three missing friends\u2014Aidan Heartfield, Reese Manchaca, and Ella Cahill.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<p>The group was staying near the Guadalupe River when sudden floodwaters hit around 4 a.m., destroying their vehicles and trapping them before they could escape. Joyce was last heard saying, \u201cThey just got washed away,\u201d before her phone went dead. Aidan had also told his father, \u201cI\u2019ve gotta go. I gotta help Ella and Reese,\u201d moments before the line cut off.<\/p>\n<p>Reese\u2019s body has since been found. Joyce and Reese are confirmed dead, while Aidan and Ella remain missing. Joyce is remembered as a kind and bright young woman whose memory continues to live on in those who loved her.
