MAYBE A SMALL SLICE OF JUSTICE THRU THE SIDE DOOR

by Bob Walsh

The parents of Kristin Smart have filed a lawsuit against Ruben Flores, 80, the father of the man police believe killed their daughter 25 years ago.  Right now it is believed that Ruben Flores helped his son, Paul Flores, hide the body of Kristin 25 years ago after Paul raped and murdered her.  

Based on "biological evidence" recovered at the scene the cops think that Kristin's body was at one time buried under the deck of the Flores home in Arroyo Grande, near the college, Cal Poly,  that both she and Paul attended.  They believe that once the cops started seriously looking at the Flores property again a bit more than a year ago that Flores dug up and moved the body again.  (Too bad they couldn't have kept him under surveillance.)

The civil suit seeks unspecified damages for infliction of emotional distress.  

The father is currently out on $50,000 bail on charges of accessory after the fact.  The son is still a guest of San Luis Obispo County, being held without bail on a murder beef.
