Investigation widens as sheriff searches Paul Flores’ mother’s Arroyo Grande home in Kristin Smart case
San Luis Obispo County deputies served a search warrant at Susan Flores’s Arroyo Grande home, the mother of Paul Flores, as part of the Kristin Smart investigation. The move follows earlier soil-vapor analysis suggesting a decomposition signal near the yard. Paul Flores was convicted of Smart’s murder in 2022, but Susan Flores has not been charged. The search is ongoing and details remain limited as authorities pursue new leads to locate Smart’s remains.
