FBI tells family of Kristin Smart, who vanished 23 years ago, to be prepared for news: report

The family of Kristin Smart, the California college student who vanished 23 years ago after attending a party near her school, was reportedly told by federal agents to be prepared for news and to secure a family spokesperson.

Denise Smart, the woman's mother, told the Stockton Record that she was contacted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and was told to "be ready."

"This is really going to be something you don't expect. We want to give you the support you need," she said she was told.

The report said the FBI was not clear on what the development was, she was told that her family might want to "get away for a while," and she should secure a family spokesperson.

The FBI would not suggest “getting out of town and hire a spokes person” if she was dead - there is definitive info here and it’s going to make national headlines.

Some background on the case. She does crime videos.

“The Smarts filed a $40 million wrongful death lawsuit against Paul Flores in November 1996, alleging that Flores murdered Kristin at Cal Poly. The Smarts would later add Cal Poly to the lawsuit, alleging the university failed to keep their daughter safe.”


Do you know if they collected on either of these lawsuits? If so, I can see where they would need a spokes person and a place to lay low if she is in fact alive.

Isn't that the one where they include everyone who is found in the “missing” category?

“P.F. ... Guy who says he walked her to her dorm.”

Probably. They found the girl’s bloody earring in his mother’s house.

I disagree and were she alive they’d have told them immediately

They have found new evidence linking something substantial to the resolution of her case

Paul Flores was last person seen with her period

He was evasive and ultimately refused to cooperate including his black eye and marks on his face

Odds someone grabbed her and dragged her off campus at 2am is possible but much less likely

No evidence from anyone associated with her she would have quote run away at 21 or 22

Flores likely killed her when she resisted and they’ve found some sign of her body remains finally after years of looking and testing

A big chunk of the original investigations remain closed which is why her family couldn’t sue Flores in civil court

Law enforcement won’t release evidence as case remained open

I’d love her to be alive but I see zero hints that’s the new development

Remind me if I am wrong ...and I’d be glad to be just that

A woman is abducted or runs away at her age and doesn’t call her family for nearly 25 years and no hint of that possibility and then we learn that now

It’s just not plausible

Someone would have said she had issues at home

If it’s Stockholm I don’t buy that....usually women abducted who stay with the kidnapper they remain somewhat independent at her age

If it’s against her will they have freed her and told her folks already

Nope this is resolution news not good news

I’m sorry about the terrible grammar. I try not to respond on a cell phone. When I do the screen doesn’t accept the entirety of what I’m typing so the end of the posts tend to get sloppy and haphazard.

Most people in everyday jobs watch too much reality TV. Most people do, in fact and then they take what they learn and how they learned it to work with them and produce garbage work results.

So these FBI agents, as we are led to believe, think it’s ok to hold people in suspense like they do in the cop dramas on reality TV.

No, I don’t. Haven’t seen anything. However, the Flores family counter sued her family.

https://www.diguptheyard.com/ Some guy put this site up with an outline. He also videoed himself hollering at PF at a Walmart. Crazy but anything to get the case reopened.

It sounds to me that she is probably deceased.

Still very strange requests to a family from the FBI for simply found remains or a suspect. If it turns out to be anything but found, shame on the FBI. And everyone has suspected Paul Flores. FBI said to get ready for something you don’t expect.

I wonder if he’s been arrested for another murder and that’s the purpose behind the FBI comments.

The boat was recovered. No evidence of foul play. Sometimes I haven’t a clew.

He pretty much goes there without saying it almost every time at the end of his podcasts/videos.

Haven’t listened to him in about a year, so he may have changed his tune.

There was another guy who claimed to see staircases in the middle of the woods/forests miles away that would be there one day and disappear the next, maybe it was Paulides? I can’t remember.

My suspicion...

Local LEO and or campus police complicit, including subject’s father, or both parents in cover up. New owner/tenant of sub’s parent’s property (possibly) finally allowed forensic investigators full access to property where scans/cadaver dogs disclosed the body and someone has now gone state’s evidence to cover their arse, revealing the full plot.

Suggesting to go out of town is to protect the mom from retaliation from family of conspiring perps who’s lives are ruined. “YOU caused us this trouble!l

Oddly, in all articles, no mention of victim’s father, who may or may not be a party of crime.

This campus had a red hand campaign, where every sexually assault site was marked with a red paint hand print. Reported that there became so many of them that the campus shut down the campaign to conceal the problem.

Reeks of systemic corruption, possibly dating even before Kristins disappearance.

I DO agree that she is unfortunately deceased.

...but that’s only my intuition.

Well, you’ve listened to him more recently than I have, so maybe I’m wrong. But some of the cases that could be simple foul-play or terrible accidents are creepy enough.

Some people don’t realize that the national parks can be very dangerous.

I understood your post just fine. Some just want to play grammar police.

There are plenty of reasons that parks are dangerous for sure. There’s is a lot information about missing people out there and it’s hard to separate fact from myth.

Paulides going down rabbit holes without concrete conclusions doesn’t help IMHO. I re-read just now before responding to your post some of his stories that I saved. I remember lot of folks accusing him of sensationalism and trying to just earn a buck off of his cliff-hanger reports.
