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 University Police Department[10] originally suspected that Smart had gone on an unannounced vacation, as was common among students over the holidays, and as a result were slow in reporting her as a missing person to local law enforcement.
If she were still alive she would be 40 something years old, I don’t think she is alive!!!
From Wiki:
A male friend Paul Flores and a few others found her passed put on a lawn on campus. The others left and Flores walked her back to his dorm and he went inside his dorm leaving her to walk back to her dorm by herself
Later they found Smarts bloody earring in Flores mothers house.
Hmm..
Kristin Denise Smart (born February 20, 1977, legally presumed dead May 25, 2002) is an American young woman who was presumed to have been abducted and killed at the end of her freshman year of college, May 25, 1996, on the campus of California Polytechnic State University. Three fellow students escorted Smart back to her hall of residence after an off-campus party. Her death is an actively investigated missing person case.
On September 6, 2016, the San Luis Obispo Sheriff Department reported it had received information about the possible location of Smart's remains, resulting in a hillside excavation on the Cal Poly campus. After five days of digging, bones were recovered from at least one excavation site.[3] However, it was initially unclear if the findings were animal or human, and forensic analysis may take months to determine this.
Those who do this type of thing with information are control freaks getting off on wielding their little bit of power they think they have. They stink in life.
(FBI) We got news about your daughter who disappears 20+ years ago! Just send us your checking account number and the FBI will make a deposit in your daughter’s name. /s
Mom should slap this guy in the face no matter what the news is.
FBI trolling for news.
All levels of Law Enforcement LOVE publicity.
It is one of a handful of things that motivate them to act.
Wonder if they have identified the killer/killers via some Ancestry DNA, and this is a method to get the killer/killers to panic and run or to confess.
Could be someone they know?
I don’t think so...
I think giving the family a head up that a media circus is about to start is a good thing.
Doesn’t sound like the FBI leaked this to the press, but a family member or a friend of the family that was confided in did.
Anyone who has payed attention to the media in the US would want a heads up to prepare for it, rather than be blind sided... I know I would.
That’s not true.. Some do, but most, especially those who have been around the block a few times and aren’t looking for future aspirations in politics etc prefer not to have publicity.
The ones that aspire for publicity are generally not the ones you want on the force.
“..Prayers for the family........”
Yep..for sure, especially interfacing with the FIB.
Personally, as soon as any FIB agent opened his/her mouth, regardless of the topic, I’d have immediately pled the 5th and shut the door.
I wonder when we will know what happened to her.... Strange story.
From Quora.com
It appears 600k people go missing every year. A certain percentage become homeless but that still leaves a large number presumed dead. Where are the bodies?
David Paulides has investigated numerous missing persons cases in US and Canada. You can Google him.
Odd heads up, that’s for sure. It doesn’t sound like the sort of thing they normally tell families when a loved ones body has been found. Sounds bad though.
I am getting some push back, so I figured I will make my statement clear. If they have no actual proof, just speculation, why say anything? If they have proof of something, just tell the family. It’s not like there aren’t FBI agents in every corner of the United States.
As far as the family going to the news, what did the FBI expect when it dropped cryptic hints of something to come?
Weird to me.
And living as a man named Fred in Butte, Montana...
More people in every day work watch to much reality tv.
It’s starting to effect the way they view the world.
