The flash flooding on the Guadalupe River in Central Texas has killed at least 51 people, including 15 children. Some two dozen girls from Camp Mystic, an all-girls’ Christian summer camp, are still missing.

Rescuers have been searching the river Saturday, and the death toll is expected to rise. Here’s what we know about those who were killed.

Exhausted from a long night working as a dishwasher at a local restaurant, Julian Ryan, 27, was asleep in his trailer home in Ingram, Texas, when the nearby Guadalupe River reached his front door on Friday before dawn.

By the time he and his fiancée, Christinia Wilson, woke up, the water was up to their ankles. His mother, Marilyn Ryan, and his 6-year-old son had already rushed into the room for safety.

In what seemed like a blink, Ms. Wilson said, the water was up to their waists; their front door had burst open and the river had gushed into the house. Their mattress began to float, so they placed their 13-month-old son and the 6-year-old atop it. The bedroom door was stuck shut from the water pressure on the other side.
