The man convicted of killing fellow college student Kristin Smart in 1996 faces the possibility of life in prison at a hearing Friday in California court
Paul Flores, 46, was found guilty in October of the first-degree murder of Smart, whose body has never been located. He awaits sentencing of 25 years to life in prison. Smart vanished in May 1996, when she and Flores were both attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in central California. Flores was the last person to see Smart alive and prosecutors argued he raped or attempted to rape Smart and then killed her in his dorm room.
” In 2021, new evidence led authorities to arrest Flores and his father, Ruben Flores, in connection with Smart’s death. Investigators at Ruben Flores’ home used ground-penetrating radar, dug on the property using hand tools and recovered items as evidence, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office told CNN at the time. Prosecutors accused Flores’ father of assisting with moving Smart’s body to his home in Arroyo Grande and hiding her remains under his deck for a period of time.
