This week, investigators executed a search warrant at the Arroyo Grande home of Susan Flores, the mother of Paul Flores, the man convicted of Kristin Smart’s murder. Though Paul was arrested, Kristen’s body has never been found. Using soil vapor testing (a method that detects chemical compounds associated with human decomposition) authorities reportedly identified signs consistent with human remains in the backyard. The sheriff hasn’t confirmed the remains are Kristin’s, but the findings were significant enough that the search expanded to a neighbor’s property too.
This case might never have made it this far without Chris Lambert’s podcast “Your Own Backyard.” Launched in 2019, the series dug into a cold case most people had forgotten, surfaced new witnesses, and applied the kind of public pressure that helped lead to the 2021 arrests of Paul and Ruben Flores.
Kristin’s family has waited decades for answers. Hoping this is finally the break they deserve.
