"Nearly three decades after Kristin Smart disappeared, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's investigators on Wednesday served a search warrant at the home of her killer's mother and prepared to scan and sample the grounds for her remains."
"Three years ago, a group of scientists working from Susan Flores' neighbors' backyard using soil vapor sampling detected the presence of volatile organic compounds that they say may be associated with decomposing human remains."
"The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's 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."
San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's investigators executed a search warrant at Susan Flores' home, the mother of convicted killer Paul Flores. Paul was the last person seen with Kristin Smart before her 1996 disappearance. Despite his conviction, Smart's body has never been found. Scientists previously detected volatile organic compounds in the area, suggesting possible human remains. The search is expected to last two days, with the sheriff's office committed to finding Smart and bringing closure to her family.
