Sinners Among Saints

Kristin Smart was a college student who went missing on May 25, 1996, while attending California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. She was last seen walking home from a party with Paul Flores, a fellow student. Her disappearance triggered a prolonged investigation but initially yielded few leads. In 2002, Paul Flores was identified as a key suspect but was never charged due to insufficient evidence.

Over the years, various searches and investigations failed to find Kristin Smart, but in 2021, the case gained renewed attention. New evidence and witness testimonies led authorities to arrest Paul Flores and his father, Ruben Flores. Paul was charged with Kristin's murder, while Ruben was charged with accessory to murder.

In 2023, Paul Flores was found guilty of first-degree murder, and Ruben Flores was found not guilty of accessory to murder. The case remains a somber reminder of the challenges in solving long-term missing persons cases and the impact on families and communities as Kristin's body has still never been found.
