Contrary to recent reports, federal agents told The Chronicle on Wednesday that they did not tell the family of missing Cal Poly freshman Kristin Smart that a big break in the 23-year cold case was imminent. A spokesman for the family confirmed Wednesday that the person who advised Smart’s mother, Denise, was not an active FBI agent.

Maybe. More likely a sadistic person pretended to be an FBI agent.

That’s the only thing that makes sense, in spite of it being a cruel thing to do.

“To clarify, the Stockton Record news story was based on a conversation between the Smart family and a former FBI agent”

So, an insider of a sort. Have to wait and see if he was just talkin outta his backside or what.

If this is hoax the person responsible should be flogged through the streets at the tail of the cart then drawn and quartered.

It didn’t make sense that they would send a message like that just to say later on she was dead. #fakenews

Maybe the Smart family is trying to get the case back in the news cycle?

I wonder if this (former FBI?) agent is working a cold-case for a Hollywood production? I mean look at all the “news” generated from this leak? Almost looks like an organized press release.

I read former fbi agent.Right. The key weasel word was "active". FBI is ass covering. Or something.

I may be listening to too many true crime podcasts, but it sounds to me like the kind of vague non-info you would leak on purpose to spook a nervous suspect, perhaps to see if he gets agitated, or is even dumb enough to go and check that the body is still safely hidden.
