Paul Flores (shown above) was the last person to see Kristin Smart. After originally giving conflicting stories, Flores has since refused to cooperate with police, and has dropped out of school. The investigation has been hampered by the fact that before it was begun Flores was allowed to remove all of his belongs from his dorm room prior to the start of finals without supervision. Since that time Paul has continued to evoke the Fifth Amendment, further hindering the investigation.

Goatee of Mendez?
Baphomet / Goat of Mendez
Baphomet-Goat God of the Knights Templar. This image has inspired both fascination and misunderstanding. While based on the famous Eliphas Levi drawing, our representation is an original adaptation. Neither male nor female, neither human nor animal, the Baphomet shows us As above, so below. The torch of illumination between the horns, the cadeusus, the 5-pointed star on the forehead and the inscriptions Solve and Coagula on the forearms these layers of symbolism encourage the emancipation of the will from servitude and the dissolution and reformation of the self.

From the sounds of this and some of Rita Cosby's reporting, he may have used multiple methods of submersion control. Wrapped in a tarp with fishing line and hooks connected to weights and cement blocks was one scenario. Wouldn't be surprised to learn that he used several methods to help insure the results.
Some of the talking heads are speculating on this as a crime of passion citing the possible discovery of the affair. They say there is no evidence of premeditation. Hello? New boat never used that nobody knew about? Cement? Statements to girlfriend about a dead wife. Not well thought out but premeditated none the less.
