The Travis County Sheriff’s Office has been working alongside other local agencies in rescue, search and recovery missions since the early morning hours of July 5, 2025, when flash floods devastated areas of west Travis County.
TCSO Detectives are working with the Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office to painstakingly investigate and document each case of a decedent recovered in the flood zone.
The following decedents, all from Leander, TX, unless otherwise specified, have been recovered:
- Dan Dailey, 67
- Viginia Watts Dailey, 66
- Betty Massey West, 84
- August Panning, 50
- 17 year-old female from Marble Falls, TX
Three additional decedents have been recovered, but positive identification and/or notification of next of kin is still pending.
As of today, a total of eight bodies have been recovered and four people are still missing.
“My heart goes out to the families and friends of those who lost their lives. We will not waver in our efforts support the community during this difficult time,” shared Sheriff Sally Hernandez.
