District Attorney pledges continued search for Smart’s remains
– San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow issued a statement Wednesday in response to a search of Susan Flores’ residence in Arroyo Grande connected to the investigation into the disappearance of Kristin Smart.
Dow said the District Attorney’s Office continues working with the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office following Paul Flores’ conviction for Smart’s murder.
“Since the jury convicted Paul Flores for the murder of Kristin Smart, the District Attorney’s Office has continued working in coordination with the Sheriff’s Office to fulfill our shared commitment to the Smart family and this community: to bring Kristin home,” Dow said. “The District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation is assisting with today’s search, and Assistant District Attorney Eric Dobroth supported the Sheriff’s Office in advance of their obtaining judicial authorization for this warrant.”
Dow said officials remain committed to locating Smart’s remains.
“While those responsible for Kristin’s death—and those with knowledge of her whereabouts—could provide answers at any time, we remain firmly committed to using every lawful tool available to locate Kristin’s remains and to support her family until she is brought home,” Dow said.
The District Attorney’s Office said the public can continue submitting anonymous tips through San Luis Obispo County Crime Stoppers by calling (800) 549-7867.
