The last man seen with Kristin Smart was convicted of killing the college freshman, who vanished from a California campus 25 years ago
Missing College Student Murder Trial
Smart disappeared from California Polytechnic State University on the state's scenic central coast over Memorial Day weekend in 1996. HerProsecutors maintained the younger Flores, now 45, killed the 19-year-old during an attempted rape on May 25, 1996, in his dorm room at Cal Poly, where both were first-year students. He was the last person seen with Smart as he walked her home from an off-campus party where she became intoxicated.
The son’s defense attorney, Robert Sanger, didn't immediately respond to calls requesting comment on the verdict. Sanger had tried to pin the killing on someone else — noting that Scott Peterson, who was later convicted at a sensational trial of killing his pregnant wife and the fetus she was carrying — was also a student at the campus about 200 miles up the coast from Los Angeles.
The San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office planned a Tuesday afternoon news conference to discuss the verdicts.
