New developments in Smart case
Kristin Smart’s haunting disappearance continued to make headlines around the world last week, with a father-son duo pleading not guilty Monday after a dramatic break in the nearly 25-year-old case led to their arrests the week before.
Though Ruben Flores, 80, father of prime suspect Paul Flores, 44, has been released on $50,000 bail, Denise and Stan Smart, who live in Stockton, filed a lawsuit in San Luis Obispo County Superior Court alleging that Smart’s body was buried in Ruben Flores’ backyard and he moved the body “under cover of darkness” to another location a few days after investigators searched his property in February 2020.
