Camp Mystic staffers facing tough questions in court. This week a group of five Texas state representatives will visit the camp as part of an investigative committee.
Several parents who lost their daughters in the flood are suing. Camp Mystic’s attorney says the flood was completely unpredictable.
Camp leaders testified their evacuation plan for the flood was to “stay put” and they did not call 9-1-1 or alert staff about the flood warning.
Victims’ parents say this was a failure and they want answers.
After three days of testimony wrapped up in Austin, a judge ruled the camp must keep many damaged buildings at its Guadalupe River location untouched for now.
Members of the investigative committee will be in Kerr County Monday looking for answers into what happened and how to keep it from happening again.
Their findings will shape proposed legislation and the legislative discussion in the next legislature.
We are working to get answers on this still developing story including:
How will the committee’s investigation differ from the findings of law enforcement?How will that information shape legislation?What specific evidence does the judge want preserved?
We’ll continue to work to get answers on this story and others.
