BREAKING: Verdicts have been reached in the murder trial in the death of Kristin Smart, a California college student who disappeared in 1996.
Verdicts have been reached in the murder trial into the death of Kristin Smart, a California college student, according to court officials. Prosecutors have said she was killed by a classmate who had his father's help hiding her body.
A juror in the Ruben Flores case was dismissed Thursday after telling Judge Jennifer O’Keefe that he had discussed the case for strictly spiritual guidance with his priest because it was causing him stress, KSBY reported. Paul Flores had long been considered a suspect in the killing, but prosecutors arrested him and his father only in 2021, after the investigation was reactivated.
Behind lattice work under the deck of his large house on a dead-end street off Tally Ho Road, archaeologists working for police in March 2021 found a soil disturbance about the size of a casket and the presence of human blood, prosecutors said. San Luis Obispo Superior Court Judge Craig Van Rooyen ordered the pair to trial after a 22-day preliminary hearing in which he found a “strong suspicion” the father and son committed the crimes they were charged with, and that a grave existed under Ruben Flores’ deck that once held Smart’s remains.
