Episode Details

One year after a deadly flash flood claimed 27 lives at Camp Mystic, including eight-year-old Hadley Hanna, her parents Carrie and Doug are still grieving—but also fighting. Their daughter, a joyful, vibrant middle child, was last seen running toward camp with pure happiness—until floodwaters swallowed the grounds in the early morning. Identified by her signature green-and-yellow nails, Hadley’s loss became a catalyst for change. Carrie and Doug testified before lawmakers, pushing for better flood warnings and preparedness, which led to new legislation. Doug founded “Hugs From Hadley,” a nonprofit embodying Hadley’s spirit of kindness. Their grief hasn’t faded—but it’s now channeled into action, honoring “Heaven’s 27” with purpose and resilience.
