(KMJ) – A Central Coast judge moves the Kristin Smart murder trial nearly 150 miles after ruling last month her accused killer cannot get a fair trial in San Luis Obispo County.
Wednesday, the judge announced the trial of Paul Flores will be held in Monterey County. The now-45-year-old is believed to be the last person to see Smart, who vanished in 1996 from California Polytechnic State University after a party.
His father, Ruben Flores, is charged with helping dispose of Smart’s body, which has never been found.
Both men have pled not guilty.
