Ty Badon, the father of missing 21-year-old Joyce Badon, told CNN on July 5 that he was calling out his daughter's name when they discovered the body of a child as they were searching an area of Hunt, Texas. 'My son and I were walking and I thought it was a mannequin. It was a little boy, 8 or 10 years old, and he was dead,' said Ty, the dad of one of four college-aged friends who were believed to have been swept away in the floodwaters on July 3. 'We were just walking, doing the same thing we were doing when we stumbled across him,' he added. 'Hopefully we can find our children, my daughter and her friends alive.' His daughter's group of college friends, who were staying in a cabin along the river, included Ella Cahill, Aidan Heartfield and Reese Manchaca, according to the Beaumont Enterprise and 12 News Now. "It's been four o'clock yesterday morning that we were told that they were on the phone with Aidan's dad, who they own the house where they were," Ty told CNN, adding that the house "is no longer there." "Aidan said, 'Hey I've got to go, I've got to help Ella and Reese ... they just got washed away,' and then a few seconds later the phone just went dead, and that's all we know," the 21-year-old's father said, recalling his last contact with the group. "We pray that all four of them are still alive," Ty continued, sharing that authorities presume all four young adults were washed away in the flood. "All four are missing. They're still missing."
