The incident took place in his dorm room at Cal Poly. Both Paul Flores and Kristin Smart were classmates of the first-year students. So according to the investigation, Paul was the last person who was with Kristin Smart as she was walking home after the campus party. In the pretense of walking back home, Paul accompanied Kristin when she was absolutely intoxicated.
Paul’s father who is 81 years now was also charged with this crime as he is equally responsible for having a hand in this crime. But a separate jury from the court acquitted Rubin of the charges and he was not convicted guilty. As per sources, Ruben Flores helped his son to bury the remains of Kristin Smart in the nearby place of their home and later he dug up the remains and moved them.
When over two decades of fruitless investigation, investigator gradually turned their fervent attention toward the Flores family. While in the ongoing investigation, Paul Flores was questioned about his black eye injury and he totally changed his opinion in the court and at the time of the investigation. His disparate testimonies made him the prime suspect.
After these events, police turned to the help of the archaeologists working for the police and their findings further accentuated the suspicion. They said that the soil in some certain areas has disturbance and they said that there is a presence of human blood.
But it was in vain to extract the DNA sample of the blood from that soil. So everything was in peril. But after tremendous toil regarding the case, the team finally proved them guilty. The disparate testimonies were the sole reason to concentrate on Paul Flores and finally, he was proven guilty and Kristin Smart got justice. Paul Flores raped this poor intoxicated Kristin and murdered her and even with the help of his father buried her beneath so that no one could ever find her anymore.
But this is the matter with the truth. Even after centuries, the truth will come out and always it wins. So now at the age of 45, Paul Flores could have an awfully beautiful life behind the bars.
