The Breakthrough in Kristin Smart’s Case

Almost a quarter century after Kristin vanished, the LA County Sheriff’s Office apprehended Flores for abduction and murder on February 11, 2021. That day also saw Flores’ father arrested, implicated in concealing Kristin’s remains.

By September 22, it was decided that both defendants would face trial concerning Kristin’s vanishing and demise. Concurrently, Kristin’s family and college are creating memorials to celebrate her life amidst the ongoing legal process.
