Six members of the Eastland family, owners of Camp Mystic, are asking a Kerr County judge to prevent investigators from reviewing digital evidence seized in the criminal investigation into the deaths of 25 campers and two counselors during the July 2025 flooding at the Hill Country camp. In court filings, the family describes the search warrants as a “fishing expedition” and argues that the requested records cover too wide a period. The Texas Department of Public Safety executed 14 warrants last month, most targeting members of the Eastland family. The warrants sought electronic information from Apple, including browsing history, call logs, emails, location data and photos. The filings say the requested records span July 3 and 4, 2025, and could include communications related to civil claims, regulatory inquiries or other investigations after the flood. The family argues that some material may be protected by attorney-client privilege. It is asking the court to appoint an independent person or team to review and screen the records before investigators receive them, and to disclose who has already accessed the data and what they reviewed. Texas Ranger Brant Johnson is investigating possible charges including manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, injury to a child, abandoning or endangering a child, and deadly conduct. The filings do not establish that charges have been filed. The warrants cite photographs, social media messages and camp training documents provided to DPS by Kelly Barnes, a lobbyist with the group Heavens’ 27. The Eastlands questioned the reliability of that material and whether Barnes provided information that might contradict the case investigators are pursuing. A hearing on the family’s motion was initially scheduled for Oct. 1. Kerr County District Attorney Lucy Wilke sought a continuance, saying she would be out of town. In her filing, Wilke said the state was already arranging a “Taint Team” to protect privileged and other restricted information while digital evidence is reviewed. She also said she had agreed not to review the evidence before the hearing; a judge approved that arrangement. The hearing had not been rescheduled as of Oct. 5. Wilke also asked to withdraw from the case, citing her workload and concerns about her ability to remain impartial. She said she had lived in Hunt for 10 years near the Guadalupe River, had experienced floods in the Hill Country, had worked with Britt Eastland when she was a prosecutor and he was a defense lawyer, and had close friendships with people who are friends of the family. The criminal investigation follows a deadly flood at Camp Mystic in Kerr County in July 2025. The Eastland family’s attorney declined to comment on the investigation.
