Yes, get an atty, (and I am not one), and make sure they are a really good one, specializing in your type of case (not just a random general practicioner. Get recommendations from the best attny's you can contact in your network.
Meanwhile, preserve and start collating every record you can, system logs, application logs, phone calls, pictures, locations, etc. Get every receipt. Try to reconstruct every bit of time you can. You don't know the date/time of their events, and if they are at times T1, T2, T3+++, and you can establish that you were out on a hike at T1, fueling your car at T2, and had shut off your computers at T3-20min, you start to establish your innocence.
And, of course cut off ALL contact with everyone there, and log every contact they attempt to make. Resist the temptation to defend yourself to them personally.
