A criminal investigation is underway at Camp Mystic in Texas, following the deaths of 27 girls during devastating flooding last year. According to court documents, the investigation could result in charges of manslaughter or negligent homicide. Investigators have sought electronic communications from the camp's owners as part of their inquiry, aiming to uncover evidence related to potential crimes such as child abandonment. No charges have been filed yet, and a camp representative has not responded to requests for comment. The investigation highlights concerns over the camp's response to the flooding and its impact on the safety of the children in its care.
