As Ruskan heads to the ESPYs, the story of his Camp Mystic rescue has outrun the record – The Kerr County Lead
The Coast Guard rescue swimmer has stayed consistent and modest about what he did on July 4. The narrative built around him — shaped from the first week by Department of Homeland Security officials and amplified from the floor of Congress — has not. What it left out is the question Kerr County has been asking all year.
