The father of Kristin Smart, the California Central Coast college student who vanished from campus 26 years ago, says a murder conviction hasn't ended the “agonizingly long journey' to find the truth about his daughter.
The father of a California college student who vanished 26 years ago says there's “no joy or happiness" after a jury convicted a former fellow student of her murderFILE - This undated photo released by the FBI shows Kristin Smart, the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo student who disappeared in 1996. The last man seen with Smart was convicted on Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022, of killing the college freshman, who vanished from a California campus 25 years ago.
Flores, who is 45, could face 25 years to life in prison when he is sentenced on Dec. 9. His attorney, Robert Sanger, declined to comment on the verdict Tuesday. “Know that your spirit lives on in each and every one of us, everyday," he said of his daughter. “Not a single day goes by that you aren’t missed, remembered, loved and celebrated.”
“This case will not be over until Kristin is returned home, and we have committed to that from the beginning,” he said. “We don’t take a breath. We do not put this aside.” During Paul Flores' trial, the prosecution also told jurors that four cadaver dogs had alerted to the “smell of death on his mattress” but Sanger called it “junk science" and noted there wasn't any forensic evidence of Smart having been in the room.
Behind latticework beneath the deck of his large house on a dead end street, 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. The blood was too degraded to extract a DNA sample.
