Warrant Sought at Susan Flores' Yard in Kristin Smart Case as Remains Probe Advances

Nearly 30 years after Kristin Smart vanished, investigators served a search warrant at Susan Flores’ Arroyo Grande home—Paul Flores’ mother—to search for remains after scientists detected volatile organic compounds linked to decomposing human remains; the probe, involving ground-penetrating radar and FBI involvement, seeks to locate Smart’s body in the ongoing case, in which Paul Flores was convicted of murder but no body has ever been found and Susan Flores has not been charged.
