UPDATE I: Laura McComb Salled Her Sister and said, ‘I Love You, and Pray’ While Inside the House Floating Down the Blanco River Called Her Sister Before It Hit Bridge.
Missing mom’s sister Julie Shields says, “I think recognizing with what’s happening with the weather, we all know and we have accepted that they’re gone.”
Julie Shields said she was on the phone with her sister, Laura, when their cabin was swept away.
“We are floating in a house that is now floating down the river,” Laura told Shields on the phone. “Call mom and dad. I love you, and pray.”
Those were the last words Shields had with her sister.
“My sister will always be my sister,” Shields added.
The conversation ended when Laura thought she saw a light from a helicopter that was there to rescue them.
“And I just expected to go to Wimberley High School the next day and find her,” said Shields. “When she wasn’t there, I knew something was very, very wrong.”
