Parents of Last Missing Mystic Camper File Lawsuit Saying the Disaster Was Preventable
The Stewards allege Camp Mystic ignored flood warnings and delayed evacuation, seeking over $1 million in damages after 27 children died in the Texas Hill Country flood.
- On Feb. 6, Catherine 'CiCi' Steward and her husband Will filed a lawsuit against Camp Mystic, seeking more than $1 million and requesting a judge halt its reopening.
- The suit alleges Kerr County, Texas camp failed to follow Texas administrative code and delayed evacuation after a 1:14 a.m. National Weather Service warning, keeping youngest campers in flooded cabins.
- Cecilia 'Cile' Steward remains missing and is officially presumed deceased seven months after the July 4 flood; her parents continue searches and marked her ninth birthday last month without her.
- In response, the Eastlands' lawyer said they `intend to demonstrate and prove that this sudden surge of floodwaters far exceeded any previous flood in the area by several magnitudes.`
- State lawmakers passed new safety laws after the flood, while families' lawsuits aim to secure accountability and highlight Camp Mystic's century-old history and a 1932 flood precedent.
