Investigators in California executed a search warrant at a home connected to the man convicted of killing Kristin Smart<\/a>, according to officials.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office said investigators executed a search warrant at a property on the 500 block of East Branch Street in Arroyo Grande on Wednesday, which is related to Smart’s disappearance and her convicted killer, Paul Flores. His mother, Susan Flores, occupies the home, according to public records and the “Your Own Backyard”<\/a> podcast, which first broke news about the search.<\/p>\n

“The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff\u2019s Office is conducting an additional investigation into the property in the 500 block of East Branch Street in Arroyo Grande. This investigation is related to the Kristin Smart disappearance. This activity is the result of a search warrant signed by a Superior Court judge,” the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff\u2019s Office wrote in a Facebook post. “The Sheriff\u2019s Office remains committed to bringing Kristin home to her family.”<\/p>\n

Paul Flores, 49, was convicted of murdering Smart and received a 25-year-to-life sentence following a three-month trial in October 2022.<\/p>\n

Smart was a 19-year-old student at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) when Flores killed her during an attempted rape at his dorm room, prosecutors said. Her body was left at an unknown location, leading investigators to continue searching. She first went missing in May 1996.<\/p>\n

San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow said in a statement that his office is also committed to finding Smart’s remains.<\/p>\n

“While those responsible for Kristin\u2019s death \u2014 and those with knowledge of her whereabouts \u2014 could provide answers at any time, we remain firmly committed to using every lawful tool available to locate Kristin\u2019s remains and to support her family until she is brought home,” Dow said.<\/p>\n

A judge ruled in 2024 that Paul Flores must pay more than $350,000 to Smart’s family for expenses after their daughter’s death<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Smart family said it would stop pursuing the restitution payment if Flores revealed where their daughter’s body was discarded, but Flores’ attorney claimed that the convicted murderer doesn’t know where the remains are.<\/p>\n

Susan Flores could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n
