Just In: Paul Flores is found guilty of first-degree murder in the slaying of Cal Poly student Kristin Smart in 1996.
During the preliminary hearing, prosecutors presented evidence from handlers who said their cadaver dogs stopped at Flores' room and alerted to the scent of death near his bed. Archaeologists who
when the Flores were arrested, indicated investigators at the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department had biological evidence indicating Smart was once buried under Ruben Flores’ deck behind his home in Arroyo Grande. Prosecutors said there is strong evidence that Ruben Flores helped cover up the crime for nearly a quarter century.
