The family of an 8-year-old girl who remains missing after being swept away by Hill Country flooding that struck Camp Mystic last summer is suing its owners and demanding a judge prevent its reopening.
The 100-page lawsuit, filed by Catherine and Will Steward, the parents of Cecilia “Cile” Steward, is the fifth from the family members of 25 campers and two counselors at Camp Mystic who died during the catastrophic July 4 flooding. The girls, called “Heaven’s 27,” were among the more than 130 people killed during the flood. The Stewards’ suit and the four others, which were filed in November, all seek more than $1 million in damages each.
