Kristin Smart investigators find evidence of possible human remains at home tied to her killer: sheriff
Investigators found evidence of possible human remains as they continue a search for Kristin Smart’s body, which has never been recovered, officials said.
- On Friday, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson announced a new search at the Arroyo Grande home of Susan Flores, the mother of convicted murderer Paul Flores, seeking the remains of Kristin Smart.
- Smart vanished from the California Polytechnic State University campus in 1996, and while a jury convicted Paul Flores of her murder in 2022, authorities have never recovered her body.
- Expert Tim Nelligan is conducting soil vapor testing and using ground-penetrating radar at the property, a methodology he described as "extremely thorough" for detecting human cadaver decomposition.
- "We are not leaving that house until we have checked everything," Parkinson said, adding his team remains "prepared to go as long as it takes" to return Kristin to her family.
- Investigators swarmed the residence Wednesday and Thursday, and the sheriff expects the current operation could continue for several more days as they pursue a resolution to the 30-year-old disappearance.
