I love that Mary was like ," Fuck my landlord I'm gonna solve a murder."
The hero we deserve
Yaasss 👏🕵♀️
We stan Mary
In a world where you can be anything, be like Mary! ✌🏼
@@gabrielleyoung1242 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
The thought of them hearing her alarm go off on her watch, buried in the ground somewhere is absolutely haunting
that part made my jaw drop and i got goosebumps, I'm pretty desensitized to murder cases at this point but something about that just made me so uncomfortable and sad. Like a constant reminder she is supposed to be getting up :-(
That was the most chilling part of the whole thing to me. I hope Kristin finally gets justice.
@@reilly4678 I'm the same, I never normally flinch, but I actually gasped out loud and looked away from my screen when I heard that 😣 has got to be one of the most chilling things I have ever heard
@@thepseudonymcrisis it was so chilling! I am always surprised when a true crime story can make me physically react
Dammmnnnn, no spoiler alert?
I really hate when cases could have been solved if investigators would have just done their damn jobs.
It makes me sick to hear these cases and the lack of police work. The incompetence of them all. I have never heard of not being able to search someone's property in a murder case. You get a search warrant for the property for a reason. So many years wasted cause of what?? I will never understand how our system can be so fucked. And where we're these eye witnesses all those years ago?? Did I miss something??
Fr!!!
Exactly 🤦🏼♀️ literally waited twenty five years to confirm everything we already knew.
@@justicehayes4715 They don't care! They would rather eat donuts at Dunkin Donuts.
@@hotsexyangelthey were obviously bribed.
HE WAS FOUND GUILTY!!! Justice has FINALLY been served for Kristin! May she rest in peace knowing that she was never given up on. I also hope that her family continues to finds peace.
So happy he was found guilty
Did he finally confessed what he did?
@@gennsinclair not yet, but i hope he will

The beeping noise was obviously Kristin’s watch going off. That’s so incredibly eerie. Obviously Paul and his dad didn’t bury her very deep if they could hear it so clearly. That part was so disturbing.
I literally gasped! I can’t imagine!
Chills!
Maybe the watch along with her belongings were buried elsewhere in the property not in the same spot as her body.
almost like poe's telltale heart.
Agreed.
something about Kristin's watch going off.. it's like she was saying "im right here" and it breaks my heart
Same. It literally felt like a gut punch. I can't even fucking imagine how it felt to be that family just hearing the watch go off and eventually just... stop.
many times when people die, the clock at home will stop at that time.
@@TwentyThreeRiddles my grandfather passed away in he and granny's bedroom. I noticed the clock with their pic with all their kids stopped and no one ever reset it
@@lizmariequinn My great uncle had gifted my parents this nice Seiko wall clock when they got married. A few years back he died of a heart attack. That morning the clock fell off the wall (it had never fallen ever before in the 20 years it had hung there) the glass front shattered. A few hours later we got the call that he had passed away due to a heart attack. Ever since then the clock has never worked well. always runs too fast or too slow. Even with fresh batteries. very freaky
@@suga3783 Children shouldn't be given free reign of the internet and their parents should be informed of what they're reading :) I don't really think this video is a kid friendly one. Contains way worse topics than the word "fucking".
Update as of September 2021- Judge ruled there was enough evidence without a body so a trial will officially be scheduled after a 22 day preliminary hearing. More people need to know about this case. Thank you Kendall for all you do
Yes! I live 30 min from San Luis Obispo and was so happy to see that she was talking about this
Yaaayyyy on Paul right? I’m still watching this half way through
Thanks for the update!!
I mean they could get the body easily. It’s in that backyard in the planters or under the new garage. So stupid that they haven’t dug that up omg.
Why won’t they excavate their backyard????
The alarm going off at 4:20 is the creepiest thing I have ever heard in any true crime story and its also incredibly sad to think this poor girl was still trying to let people know where she was
Right! SO creepy and uneasy ugh and the theory behind it is heartbreaking 💔
So creepy yet so sad she wanted to be found ASAP! 😭
right
I was born in San Luis Obispo and raised in Arroyo Grande. I remember seeing the billboard, I remember seeing Paul Flores in the grocery store and having my mom push me behind her and tell me not to make eye contact with him. The fact that he is behind bars at (least for now) gives me so much hope.
Wow... that’s wild
I’m from SM! It’s so wild to finally have some movement on this case (literally all thanks to Chris and zero credit to slopd even though they’ll take as much as they can get). I hope more than anything Kristin is found
@@delcarr26 omg Im from SM too ! I totally agree! So much more could’ve been done to put him away sooner.
Im born in slo and it's weird Kristen is like someone I grew up with but never knew. While still living and working in SLO listening to the in your own backyard podcast. It was a really eerie feeling to hear even more details that I've never heard before.
Wow I’m so glad your mother is a diligent and protective woman 💖
So much respect to Mary and her husband for keeping all the letters, keeping the earring and for getting a team to search the house when they were getting evicted. They didn't HAVE to do it, but they did and I respect that so much.
Yes! There was so many dissapointing people in this story but also some real gems. At least some people cared.
@@tutta1482 Yes, thank you Mary and husband.!!!!!
Amazing people, great intuition but even greater selflessness and integrity. If we could all think a little more like them the world would be a much safer place
did i find
I can’t believe a man saw some people dig a hole, pick up something rolled up in a rug, and then put concrete over it and didn’t call the cops. like WHAT. I mean how much more obvious can people get
I was thinking the same thing like how do you just go about your day like “hm, that was odd. Anyway. Doo doo doo.”
@@alyssagggghik and then they didn't even dig anything UP. So infuriating
sick world forreal especially if you watched them for 5 hours like how is that normal
That part had my blood boiling!!!
Exactly. Then you see, hear on the news about what's going on and you don't say shit?? That person is a complete dumb ass. Hope they feel guilty.
His parents are even more disgusting. Literal enablers. Fucking disgusting. Helped him cover up an entire murder for 25 years. The entire family is disgusting. To file a lawsuit on a family that is clearly grieving because of your son is INSANE, especially since they knew he killed that girl. I have no words.
This case made me SO mad. The police did not care as much as they should have. They could have solved this decades ago.
Goes to show you the lengths a guilty party will go to to try and point the finger of guilt away from them. Honestly, you would think the police would have seen right through this and got a search warrant immediately.
yes and you have many words.
@@stfuplsok you’re very welcome! Thank you for being such a friendly person. You must have a large following 🤯
@@stephanieann622 ok thanks 💖
That’s what people do for their kids, I’d do the same no matter how bad the thing they did was
Paul’s mother speaking about them “harassing” their family made my blood BOIL. how dare they say the Smart family has no right to know the truth? absolutely infuriating.
RIGHT?! Like, obvious evidence aside, the sheer audacity of those cold bastards to speak so dismissively about the pain that the Smart Family has endured... Seriously, "their henchman"? It's with attitude like that that makes me truly believe they're all guilty and are all rotten to the core. Selfish, selfish monsters.
And they were ALWAYS like that. It wasn’t like they were empathetic at least at first (because who the hell wouldn’t be for that family) but insisted their innocence but overtime got bitter. They were AWFUL from the jump.
Honestly, I was in the next room listening when I heard this and I came running in and looked at my screen and WHEW I got mad 😂 like, the AUDACITY of this woman knows no bounds. She knew. Ain't no way she didn't know.
She KNOWS her son killed Kristin she's just trying to play dumb and get police and the Smart family off her son's back. Typical case of a mom being ignorant about her son's obvious anger issues and violence which he already showed at a young age.
Both those ‘parents’ should be arrested. Helping their son conceal a murder!!! Ffs
The amount of times I've heard that physical evidence has magically disappeared from the police makes me actually nauseous.
And that it wasn't connected to the case so it doesn't really matter anyway.
@@angelawall9676 39:47 kendall says that there was a bloody fingerprint behind the earring. if they tested that they probably would’ve gotten paul’s fingerprint on it but no the police mishandled important evidence. even if it seems like certain things aren’t important, everything is because you never know if there’s fingerprints that can led to finding the culprit.
@@michellewu9193 Oh yeah I know all that. I meant the Gaurds that lose evidence always say it wasn't connected to the case just so they can cover their own backs from losing it.
@@angelawall9676 bingo! It happens all the time. The gun that was tied to the Manson murders was conveniently “misplaced” in the evidence room as well.
@@missladymo makes me wonder if there was someone with power controlling the situation from behind.
Omg, it gave me such chills when the tenant, Mary, said she heard the beeping of a watch alarm at 4:20 every morning for months until she assumes, the batteries died. She heard it from her grave,…that’s just chilling!
It’s so upsetting too! It’s almost like Kristin was letting them know where she was
My exact thoughts. On a better note tho, I hope that watch alarm haunted Paul, Ruben, and Susan every day. If Mary heard it, the family must’ve heard it too. I hope it kept them awake at night reminding them of what they did.
@@Bbreal18 Same! She gave the police so many clues 😔
I hope Margarita ends up finding some peace and not holding herself so accountable for what happened to Kristen. She was tired, she didn’t want to go out and that’s completely valid
Period!
The only one responsible for Kristin’s death/disappearance is Paul. I hope Margarita can forgive herself 💔
I hope so too. She shouldn’t have left her alone but then again, back in 96 there probably wasn’t as much awareness spread about murder prevention or even just not walking alone at night.
I don't think she wanted to leave her friend alone, which is why she spent the whole night with her even though she didn't want to. After a point, you have to let people make their own choices, and stop hurting yourself for them. (denying your tired, aching, etc).
@@hotsexyangel she didn't leave Kristen alone. Kristen decided to stay out, she could have gone back with Margarita
It's insanely ridiculous that a podcaster did a better investigation than the police. Huge props to Chris Lambert for bringing Kristin some justice, but wow this should've happened sooner.
Police and sheriff were covering up.
@@yomama12546 it certainly seems like that’s the case. As if they were pretending to investigate. I don’t understand why the independent teams were able to go in & search everywhere except the obvious places the body was kept. It makes me think the judge might be in on it too.
I know right makes me mad it didn't.
@@yomama12546 Are u serious that's just wrong. Thanks 4 letting me know.
@@yomama12546 maybe they knew the dad? Glad it got solved and they are in jail where they belong.
Hearing Mary’s side of the story is so freaking insane-hearing that 4:20 watch alarm is like a modern-day telltale heart
I thought the same thing.
Exactly and its truly appalling how the cops handled it
My jaw was dropped the whole time they were talking about the beeping watch
Yeah, that made me cry.
Yeah that's what I thought, too..
He got 25 years to life. They waited 26 years for answers about their daughter. Horrific - he should never be allowed out with not only the act itself but the refusal to take responsibility or help the family, harassing them for years, and hurting so many other women. Disgusting.
With parole
Update: (haven’t seen this mentioned)
It was testified in court there was evidence of human remains underneath the planter which was the size of a human grave. While the body has not been found evidence of body decomposition has been detected in the soil as a stain in the dirt. Cadaver dogs also alerted to the spot as containing odor. Human blood mixed in soil were also found in the dirt surrounding Rueben’s deck though no DNA was able to be recovered. They believe Kristen’s body was moved recently when the investigation started to pick up again. So while they don’t have her body they have a good chunk of biological evidence.
Thank you for sharing.
OMG that is a tremendous relief but also WTF these people all deserve death penalty for this
**replying to this comment so it gets boosted in the comment section

Thank you for sharing this info!
“Mr. & MrS. sMaRt’s HeNcHmAn” ma’am your son literally killed someone
I wonder why they didnt arrest her. Hopefully she does get arrested for interfering and tampering with evidence.
Omg I started shaking when she said that like wtf
@@user-br5gs5bg1t I don’t think they had proof that she tampered with evidence since the statute of limitations kicked in. 😔
I was legit SCREAMING at my screen when she was talking. Like HOW DARE YOU.
“They went to jail” she knows she’s the first one that should be there
The fact that he was arrested at 40+ years, 25 years later, it's just mind-blowing to me. He was able to live his life like nothing happened, it's horrifying
right? the police and the college really messed up
The fact that the people responsible for putting monsters like him away from society were so neglectful is scary and disgusting 🤮
@@mischr13 the more of these videos I watch the more angry I get because where the hell is the police training?! 🤬
I dont think he did. He must have felt guilty, all his life
@@tondaniraluswinga2590 nah I don't think so
When the campus police said”oh she probably just went to Hawaii for the weekend because she loves Hawaii”..... I was like are you serious!?!? That was the most ridiculous statement I have heard from a officer
“We have been harassed.”
Your kid killed a girl and you COVERED IT UP!
Literally, she made so many choices to enable her husband and son’s behavior over the years. Maybe it was denial, but I hope she gets therapy and comes to terms with her part in this. She could have ended this investigation in the 90’s.
@@alishac5096 I agree
I literally screamed for her to stfu when she said that
@@autumnwinter1462 ikrrrr
I have literally “fireman carried” one of my best girlfriends out of a bar, walked two blocks while she was drunkenly kicking and screaming that I was “ no fun” and “ the worst friend”. She fell off her bar stool after one drink, turns out someone roofied her drink, best decision I made!
You’re the kind of friend that every girl needs and deserves! 💛
Cudos sis! Everybody needs a friend like on their team men & women alike! 👏💯😊💪✌ I don't know u or ya friend but I thank u for sparing & protecting her! ✊ u rock sis!!!
That’s amazing! So happy you were there and am sure she is too! 😘
bless you. Maybe I should start working out, never know when i need to drag people away
you are a good friend
I can’t believe that Paul’s parents could know what their son did and STILL have the nerve to sue the Smart family? I can see where their sons narcissism and entitlement comes from.
Disgusting 🤮 shame on them they’re no parents !!
Yea I was pondering the nature vs. nurture theory, and I think the nurture part here is key. He was raised this way. It’s sick
@Justice For you’re absolutely right, rotten to the root is the case here. They probably have a few family secrets also
@Justice For it’s awful to think about but very likely
I know right. I don’t think there’s a word to describe them.
The entitlement of the Flores family to file a lawsuit and play the victim. Some people are so unfeeling and selfish and unfortunately they pass that on to their vile offspring
The beeping watch part of the story is absolutely horrifying
Literally gave me chills
Not only is the watch insanely creepy, but I can't believe police thought "oh wow, they've got newspaper clippings of this missing girl under their mattress. Totally normal." 🙄
Honestly, the part about the watch sounds like something straight out of a horrormovie. Absolutely horrific.
Those cops were bloody useless.
To be fair, a lot of people used to save newspaper clippings like that back in the day.
@@katiechisholm but I don't think under mattresses like a dirty magazine lol.
cops are extremely stubborn at the worst moments, ironically they’re the main reason these 25 years later cases keep happening
Honey the lady renting the house cracked the case 😭😭 she used her last 30 days to investigate!! Period need more people like this
no kidding hey?? she was way more useful than the police and campus police were.
Shout out to her!
I have to hand it to her. At the same time it’s pretty sad she was more useful then the police and detectives who are trained in this.
ikr, police at the time should be ashamed
I feel like most of us that watch Kendall would do the same!!! 😂💗
This poor girl was failed by so many people before and after her death. I’m so glad she’s finally getting some form of justice
as a local, I grew up seeing the billboards for Kristin. Watching Paul & Ruben being arrested LIVE was so satisfying.
Got goosebumps thinking that the tenants heard the beeping of her watch every morning from beneath their garden at 4am...
...girl...me tooooooo!!!!
Same omg... that gave me chills
A chill ran down my spine.
The modern day Tell-tale Heart 😱
I grew up in the house right next to that house. I am so freaked out about how they could have gotten away with this. They have always been a little suspicous and strange
The beeping of an alarm going off at 4:20 am outside a house might just be the most bone chilling thing I've ever heard
Yeah seriously!!!!
Literally the creepiest thing I’ve ever heard in one of these videos- this whole case is straight out of a horror movie. Can’t wait for the day when Paul and his whole awful family finally get what’s coming to em
Same!!! I came on here to write a comment about this and you took the words out of my mouth.. 😳😳😳
That is definitely where she is, I mean that person across the street, seeing them bury someone. Geesh. Hello, that's where she is.
YYEESS!! 😱
He had such a horrible reputation yet she was left alone with him.... my heart hurts.
Exactly!! But i’m sure that the girl feels guilty and probably still thinks about that night all the time.
My dad was a member of the search party who originally went out to look for her. I’m really glad she’s finally getting justice.
Very sweet of your Dad. I’m glad to know of one person that actually cared.
the police saying "that earring looks nothing like the one we found" is interesting because i wouldnt expect them to remember how it looked when they couldnt even remember not to lose it
Yeah, or at least take a photo of it.
They didn't even put it in an evidence envelope.
@@spunkycat6144 w
Or mind your own damn business, how bout that? Some people, smh.
@@travisporter82
Who the hell says "mind your own business" about a MURDER?!
It’s sad that the people who were walking her home, knew what kind of guy Paul was and they still left her alone with him. Drunk tip 101 never leave your buddy for any reason! Always make sure everyone gets home SAFE!
Absolutely!
exactly my thoughts, especially the girl who’s friends called him chester the molester! she knew and still chose to leave her alone with him, so many people failed her that night
@@mikehawk8629 see I thought the same thing about the girl at first, but then I realized... if that girl had walked Kristen to her dorm (or her friend's dorm, where she was supposed to go back to) and made sure Paul left Kristen alone... she then would have had to walk all the way back the opposite direction to her dorm, and Paul may have gone with her. I don't know if that makes sense, but basically if she walked Kristen back to safety, then left, it could have wound up being her, instead. I agree, she shouldn't have left her alone, she should have stuck around or tried to get campus police or something, but I think it's more on the guy who was with them, since he knew Paul was creepy as well and he left. the other girl was probably trying to protect herself, as well. I dunno, maybe I'm not understanding the chain of events, but... that's just what I got from it
@@becca-ww3xw sorry to butt in-
I understand what youre saying but maybe the girls would of just stayed at eachothers dorms instead of walking back, especially if they were able to express that they were creeped out, any reasonable girl would take them in i think, another hypothetical
How about just not get drunk. This whole College getting drunk, party till you drop stuff is absurd
EDIT: some people are reading way more into this and assuming I'm saying things I'm not based on your own fears or prejudices. My comment had nothing to do with who was guilty who was not guilty where the fault lay where the fault doesn't lay, whether things like this happened because she was drunk, she wasn't drunk etc...you are reading way more into it. Read the comment again. IT has to do with college drunkenness and to be fair it is hard to defend yourself when you're drunk.
As soon as you said “the police lost the earring” I felt like I was going to have heart palpitations. I literally had to pause the video and take a couple of deep breaths. Are. You. Kidding. I now understand why my boyfriend doesn’t want to have children. Reason he’s given, if something happens to them my life is over too, sounded really silly to me until this case. Wow. Just wow.
Poor excuse not to have kids.
@@madameluna4686any reason to not have kids is a good reason if the person making that decision thinks it's a good reason.
@@madameluna4686Excuse? There's no need to excuse oneself from having children.
The part regarding the watch alarm going off every morning just haunts me. Like makes my stomach hurt. That poor girl. I hope the Flores family is met switfly and hard with charges for her murder.
I just want the life that Kendall's animals have. They just vibin' and I love them.
Ikr
This case Is very sad :(
I love seeing them sleeping in the background they seem so relaxed it reminds me of lofi backgrounds almost
@@zen.9034 I also love seeing them in the background, especially when they are sleeping peacefully
Likewise
Mary and joe are angels! I love how they were building a case against their landlord behind her back 😂 these are the type of humans we need to be. Ones who look out for others and don’t turn a blind eye to foul play.
Definitely
I would’ve been digging up the backyard if I lived there and heard rumors. That’s probably why she didn’t rent it out to anyone again.
Hey Kendall! Come check out my new docu-series on Trisha Paytas's life, it's called "Welcome To Trishyland" would love to know how or if it changes your opinion on them. x
I can't believe they never dug up the concrete in the flower bed though! If it was preventing flower growth then no harm to dig it up and also potentially find something to solve the case..
Paul Flores finally found guilty! Unfortunately his father was not. I hope and pray this brings a sense of justice to Kristen’s family. The police said in the press conference they are still going to work hard at finding her body so her family can lay her to rest. I don’t know if there can ever really be closure for them after all this time. My thoughts and prayers all also with them. Thank you Kendall, I know you feel deeply for them as well. We love you for what you do for the victims and their families. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤😂❤😂😂🎉🎉😅😮😂😂😂❤
The fact that this woman has lived with body under her house is very telling. Their son is just like them, that's why they didn't want to help him with his "anger issues".
EVERYONE at the party noted how creepy and weird he was, yet they all decided to leave her alone with him? I don't care if she was a stranger I don't know how you could do that to someone
Facts , the girls are messed
Exactly what I was thinking!! Insane!
That level of apathy is so crazy to me, it's incredibly sad
The bystander effect fr
@@Mmmm-rb9uf not just the girls. There was one guy interviewed that claimed he told his female friends to walk to their dorm alone, nothing would happen to them. Apparently it was common practice & everyone (including myself lol) was really dumb in ‘96.
It must be so much more distressing for Kristin’s family that there’s a whole family involved in/aware of/covering up for this crime. Knowing there’s someone out there that killed your loved one is one thing, but knowing that an entire family made the decision to keep the truth from you is so horrific.
Police were SO so sooooo useless in this case.
I freaking mean.... it's crazy.
Yes, and the fact that they seem to have had her body in their backyards all this time!! Just mind blowing. I can't imagine how they must feel.
I can’t understand how the mom and her boyfriend don’t have any charges against them??
Agreed. As a mother I would be losing my mind
@@marthawatkins7184 That's just it; They don't feel, at all. No human emotion that extends beyond satisfying themselves. The terms psychopath and narcissist are thrown around a lot, but this "family" of murderers embodies those terms to a T.
Watch alarm sound is sooooo spooky, that was most emotional moment for me
That alarm at 4.20 am is a definite proof. Dig up that backyard and the case will be solved. The Smarts deserve justice. It has been more than 2 decades now.
i think what frustrates me the most is thinking about how CRUCIAL the first 48 hours are, yet in almost every one of these true crime stories the police are like "no theyre just on a on vacation/being rebellious teens, just wait 1-2 days" like it actually grinds my gears
Yeah, police really need to start taking every report on a missing person seriously. So what if "she just went on a spontaneous trip"? That's great and everyone will be relieved once you've tracked her the fuck down. But maybe she DIDN'T and you're wasting precious time- The cost in the latter case, which is often for victims who could've still been found not to be or criminals to just walk free, is WAY too high for "saving a bit of work and some money/resources". >.
And I wasn't aware until recently that the practice in my country is to start searching for a missing person only if he/she is missing for at least 3 days 😥😠
@@Nora-sw6uh which country?
Because they are probably abusers too.
Ikr it’s really fucked up.
It's so damn obvious Paul killed Kristin and his parents are protecting him. It's heartbreaking that she experienced this and everything her family has been put through. I'm glad Paul is behind bars.
His parents to join him
Sometimes parents are the worst when it comes to protecting their demon seeds.
Yes they shoukd have put him in anger management or whatever when he was younger that could have helped him and prevented this
AND THEY TRIED TO SUE THE SMART FAMILY FOR HARRASSMENT
Like, the f*cking audacity!
@@Adriana.RamirezFL possibly
Just watched this video again and this time I decided to Google whether there had been any progress in this case following Paul’s arrest. He was found guilty of first degree murder literally yesterday (Wednesday 19th October 2022). His father was found not guilty. RIP Kristen 💜
The alarm going off at 4:20am just gives me the chills. Kristin and her family deserve justice!
Same. You KNOW that was her..
Right? How did that lady not rip up the concrete right there.
Something about the renters being able to hear that watch alarm going off at 4:20 every morning is so chilling
They still can't locate the body!!?????
The neighbor that saw a "rug" being dumped at 3am that was heavy enough to require 2 people....really, dude. You said nothing? Just wow.
Exactly! I would’ve called the police immediately before the concrete could set or they could fill the hole! And I’d take pictures if I could!
I figure he didn’t want any involvement with the police and calling may put him on the radar because I can’t think of any logical explanation that an outstanding citizen would not be suspicious enough to call the police when you see someone in the middle of the night digging a grave, putting something in the grave that is known to be used to transport murder victims, then pouring concrete over it. Let’s see let me think of things that it could be other than something illegal…. Gee I can’t even think of one, not even one.
He should be charged with obstruction of justice because although not premeditated ,( assuming) that is certainly what it is.
@@askywithanalibi4948 might as well charge the whole police force with obstruction of justice for that piss-poor investigation
@@AC-th4ci agreed
They did report and there are rumors that they may have videoed it! Understand people that this is not a cold case, it’s an OPEN investigation and the police can’t disclose a lot of this info. Doesn’t mean there’s not more going on!!
I am really impressed how parents in this situation maintain so much composure. My parents once lost my brother at a department store. He was 3 at that time and my dad freaked out. The police was called but my dad was hysterical and stated that he was going to kill himself if my brother was not found that night!!. He even kissed me goodbye. I was 7. My brother was found in the store playing with a soccer ⚽️ ball in the toys section. Sigh.. 😮
i can emphatize with the feelings of your dad.. that would be the worst nightmare/feeling for a parent if that had happened.
thhatts.. kind of a fucked up thing to put your other kid through tbh
Wow.. saying your going to kys and saying goodbye to your other child because one child is missing. Seems like he cared more about your sibling than the both of you as a whole. Sorry he put you through that…
Hi Kendall! I can’t thank you enough for this video and your past video. I live in San Luis Obispo, and we have tributes for her and billboards everywhere. Her justice is very important our town. When others haven’t learned about the case, I play your videos on this case immediately. You have genuinely made a positive difference in our community and have made so many people aware of Kristins case
I was born in 1996 and the fact that it took Literally my entire life span to make this progress is disturbing
Same
Wow you guys are old
Same
@@emoantagonist5405 24 is old? Dang
@@ambernicole9836 its relatively old. At least to me 😅
Gone to Hawaii without taking any clothes, wallet, money, etc. Seems totally realistic 🤦♀️
Ya totally realistic. Nothing happened to her. She just went on vacation.
" she went with friends" bruh her friends don't even know where she is that's why they are coming to you like tf were the campus police on then!?!
@@electrobro-hb4uj pretty sure they are either
1)Lazy
2)didn’t care shit
3)Like they say teenagers will be teenagers
Like how tf is she gonna get on a plane to go to Hawaii without her ID? People are idiots !
police get dumber and dumber with each of Kendall's videos
As this is a local case here, here is a update: Paul and Ruben are set to go on trial in April. Their lawyers have filed for a change in venue, but it has yet to be rule on. Her body still remains unfound so it's a no body homicide case with circumstanal evidence.
Update on the ruling, the defence has successfully motioned for a change in venue for the trial to neighbouring Monterrey County.
Following for any more updates.
Following too!
Update: The Trial begins today in Salinas in Monterey County after being moved out San Luis Obispo County
following, thanks for the updates
48:23.....I'm sorry you saw two guys dig a hold that big and drop something heavy into it that looked like a rolled up carpet, and you never think about telling that to the cops? Who buries a fucking carpet?! I'll tell you who, someone who's burying something else INSIDE the fucking carpet! What the fuck?!
How embarrassing that a PODCAST can literally put a whole case together and even have more witness at hand than a whole ass Police department.. but other than that good thing that sketchy family is finally being held accountable.
People need to remember that these cases we hear of are the minority of cases, the large majority of cases are solved and handled properly. Unsolved cases are wildly expensive & difficult to have the budget to solve, especially when many departments have low budgets. Of course there is sometimes one or two police officers that do not properly use their training, but if you’ve never been a police officer or worked in law enforcement, i would say it’s inappropriate to judge their processes.
@@mariahl.2052 if they handled cases the right way initially they wouldn’t have this issues. A lot of unsolved cases are unsolved cause of fuck ass police work not cause they are “incapable” or anything like that
LITERALLY the police department should be so embarrassed and ashamed
@@mariahl.2052 Umm money has nothing to do with this! If someone on a podcast could do it… police officers who are trained and taught should do their work properly
Podcasts don't have the same restrictions as law enforcement. Also you'd be surprised how much more a good interviewer can get someone to talk than a police station. Although I agree it IS maddening that better property searches weren't being done initially! It is disgusting that his parents would help hide the truth and a body of a girl! Then have the bloody audacity to sue her family.
Paul’s mom has a lotta nerve for acting like a “stalking victim” when someone is trying to get information about a murder victim and when she literally has the murderer son that she’s covering for, the fact that she’s acting like she’s so inconvenienced and distraught is disgusting. I hate how these obvious criminals lie so much they believe their own bullshit 😤😤😤
Yes - I live in Arroyo Grande and have my entire life. This has been unreal horrible and the PD has not done her justrice but I am thrilled that there is finally some kind of justice that is being served.
There’s definitely a “type” of person that has no integrity, and acts the victim in order to get out of being a decent human being. It’s gross.
Yeah - how do you think Paul got raised into the creep and murderer he evolved into
Remember she never cured a son like that i immidieatly did it i got help for me too cause no parents but is a thing when you have self destructive on you behaviour is my case she felt guilty she knew the creep she grew i m a mom my girl is ten if somethin was wrong i aldready go help her just to not let live her a horrible ptsd like me cause no one saw or care i see even a lie if i ve a male see him starting behave like that do nothin and don t either answer at simply questions daaaamn i felt guilty who is true what he felt not stalked
@@lilithlevi9534 I’m sorry that you had no one who helped you growing up. I hope you’ve found love and peace. Ptsd is hard to overcome. Much love .
Man, it seems like so many people tried so hard to let this guy get away with murder
Just saw your tweet update on this case and had to come watch it again!
I gotta say I have mad respect for Mary and her husband. They were like forget this landlord, I’m going to help the police solve a murder and they did everything they could for real.
right? this story is so full of good well meaning people. such a tragedy but full of little glimmers too.
I would have been out there digging for sure lol
Cops like this should be charged with neglect. Not the police department themselves. Charge the officers. Special place for them
Completely agree. How dense do you have to be to assume she went away for the weekend... Without her wallet, without telling a single person, without packing anything. So upsetting.
THEY didn't make the decisions. It's who they took orders from that needs looked into.
exactly! thankfully they came out with Kristin Smart campus safety act! this should NEVER happen again
@@kathyflorcruz552 they for sure didn’t give a fuck don’t defend these pigs
@@kathyflorcruz552 they still had the power to do something and chose not to. Saying they were just following orders is completely shirking their responsibility to protect and serve.
Kristin's mom is one of the strongest women I have ever seen. I hope she knows how inspiring she is and how many people support her and her family.💗
Kendall please do a new update video on this case!!!! Omg can’t believe the news- found guilty!!!
chris lambert deserves so much love and praise for what he has done with this case. Not only did he bring the case back into the spotlight with the your own backyard podcast, but he also managed to bring forward so many new tips and witnesses to the slo sherrifs. Its no wonder that the flores family hates him.
Truly I don’t think this case would ever get solved if it wasn’t for him.
He has basically solved this murder. I grew up in a house right next to the Flores house. The evidence that has come out to push this case forward would not have come out without him. The evidence that was found in the Huasna area had everything to do with him. Also some other information that has come to light has everything to do with another person who came forward bacause of it. These two people are presumed to be witnesses in this case.
Is this podcast on Spotify or utube?
@@leahhuntz6236 spotify
parents who tolerate/cover up their children's crimes are just raising monsters. I really hope Kristin's family will soon find justice
If you help cover up a crime like this for your child you should be charged for the crime also.
I can't stand parents who enabled the child's bad behaviour I hope they both wrought in gaol with their demon spawn
Parents that cover their children’s crimes should face criminal charges as well.
they are monsters. with their lowlife spawn.
police: your child has been suspected of murder
me: BOY GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOW
EXCELLENT coverage of this tragic case!
I've enjoined watching Kendall grow and improve in the TrueCrime genre!
I am brand new to this genre and am someone that never realized that there were two separate “Smart” cases. This is all mind blowing. “It could have been me” is such a sinking awareness. I’ve been in so many compromising situations over the years.
Also, you’re my intro to this genre, usually I’m on a very different side of the internet. I’ve binge watched so many of your videos and enjoy you coverage very much.
Paul’s mom should be arrested as an accessory to murder as well as Ruben. She knows what happened and she is covering for both Paul and Ruben.
I was kind of wondering if she's the "credible witness" who saw them moving the body, and she made some kind of deal. Because it doesn't make sense that someone else wouldn't have come forward, so they had to be close, and the fact it happened when there started to be a lot more movement on the case, I wonder if she got spooked.
@@jaimieanderson1391 This was my exact thought, too!!
My same thought! I thought I wasn't paying much attention when Kendall didn't mention any arrest on Paul's mother
Yup!
If I saw my neighbor burying “carpet” in the middle of the night for 5 hours I’d definitely be reporting it.
Burying carpet is weird who even does that?
@@hydrolito murderers
💯
I had neighbors call cops because people in my house were digging a large hole in the backyard unexpectedly at a weird part of the afternoon.
We were trying to find the septic tank because the tank wasn't draining right and everything that used water was trying to overflow making our house was a sudden plumbing nightmare.
Explaining to a cop that our washer, both toilets, and sinks were all overflowing was humiliating.
@Diana H burying a body isn't done in a giant wide hole, slowly making smaller holes to hitting hard to find concrete with people shouting "where is that piece of sh*t?!"
Digging in one spot to bury something large? Yeah call cops, that's sus.
But there is a particular way you did to find a septic tank and it's VERY different.
The police work on this case absolutely frustrates me.
Piggybacking off of what Kendall said, I also had "drunk party girl" moments during my early 20s. Looking back, it's a miracle that nothing happened to me. I'm also the same age as Kristin, so I remember that era very well.
I wish her family the best. ❤
It's so eerie thinking that they may have been hearing her alarm going off on her watch all those nights. I hope they find her soon.
That's all I been thinking. Crazy crazy crazy 🥺
I keep finding that so hard to believe that they could hear it if it was buried underground. I'm not at all saying they are lying, but it's just hard for me to wrap my head around how that would be possible...but I guess it is. Very strange. It makes me want to buy a watch and test it out. 😜
@@caseyw.6550 Some watches are so loud. Like a brand called Casio, damn those watches have an alarm that's very loud lol. My grandma used to have one and you could hear it from her room to the living room or even my room that's on the second floor and we live in Mexico with concrete walls.
Hey Kendall! Come check out my new docu-series on Trisha Paytas's life, it's called "Welcome To Trishyland" would love to know how or if it changes your opinion on them. x
It was like a sign saying that she is there. Just so sad for Kristin. I hope they find her.
The fact that Paul got to live life a free man for 25 years pisses me off. I'm so happy Kristin and her family go justice finally
He's probably responsible for other missing woman cases that have happened in the mean time, too
Let’s hope he suffered in silence from guilt during his free years
He got to enjoy his young adult years in a way poor Kristen never did - she never even left her teen years 😔 pisses me off
I wonder how many other women or girls went disappeared in his midst.
I take some small comfort in knowing that the community, and those constant searches of their properties, have never truly let him live his life freely.
I’m literally obsessed with your videos. “Studying” human nature fascinates me. You’ve found your niche for sure.
UPDATE as of Oct 18 2022. Paul has been found guilty for her murder. Still awaiting hearing about his dad who was charged as an accessory.
The NERVE that lady has filling a lawsuit against Kristen's family when she knows damn well her son killed Kristen. Makes my blood boil
being harrassed everyday is nothing compared to hell. Then she will realize what she has done
right?? like how dare she play the victim.
She's souless
Lol I just said the same thing. But in reality her filing the lawsuit is what made them research an re investigate. Serves her right the evil SOB
Totally agree. She knew her son killed their daughter and she filed a lawsuit for harassment. Absolutely sick and cruel. We know where he gets it from. Both parents. Evil family !
The fact that Susan called him a "henchman" says everything. She clearly views anyone looking into the case as an enemy because she knows the truth and is guilty. Otherwise you wouldn't get so defensive refer to a grieving family's detective (hired or not) as henchman.
@DES - lock em all up!
Notice that she named all her family members and then just says “and my son” instead of his name🙄
What's henchman mean? Idk
@@curiousme113 henschman is like the guys a mob boss sends out to kil you
@DES - unfortunately I don’t think she is. Paul is only facing 25 years as of now and Ruben is out on bail because he’s 80 and isn’t considered a flight risk. I didn’t see anything about Susan being in court on Monday but it’s definitely not over yet and she could still be charged.
It’s so sad how many chances there were for her death to be prevented, or for her to receive justice right away. It’s so depressing when you think about how adamant the family had to be to get any kind of traction. There are too many souls out there whose families will never receive answers and it makes me sick
The dog is even like come on people lol
It always drives me crazy how police seem to assume they know the victim better than his/her friends. They will get a call that says "my friend wouldn't just disappear without a trace" and the police will say "eh... it happens all the time! No worries xoxo best of luck!!" And then they run around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to scramble a case together. Ridiculous. Hoping Kristin gets the justice she deserves.
Yes! When you've listened to a lot of crime podcasts etc., you realize that it happens so often. Families trying to report someone missing really hear this a lot. I just can't understand it. I get that the cops have to look critically at things, but what makes them so sure they can just disregard someone's concerns like that?
@@tuczyn exactly! Like, we all know the 24-48hr waiting period is BS. I’m not sure why police would just assume any call is unwarranted. There’s always a reason the family & friends call in the first place!
It’s infuriating. I can’t imagine the helplessness the family must have gone through trying to get this case moving
Yep! Full STOP lumping cases and personalities together. Not everyone thinks the same. Ughhhh.
For real, the police be on vacation mode, I swear if I ever go missing, I will write a letter saying, NO I NEVER RUN AWAY, I’M TOO BROKE FOR THAT.
I have literally dragged girls out of bars because they wanted to stay to find a party after last call when I was leaving. We came together to the bar, we leave together from the bar. You want to scream in my face you hate me, cool, we can never talk again if that's what you want. But you're getting in the taxi with me and going home.
My friend once went out and was walking from one bar to meet friends at another and she got pulled into an alley by a man, and the scariest part is that people walked by and looked right at her fighting to get away, hearing her scream for help, and they just looked away and kept walking. No one is going anywhere alone if they're with me.
Not one girl has ever called me the next day and been mad. At the time, they're drunk and think I'm ruining their fun, the next day they're grateful because they were too intoxicated to have been cautious and something bad definitely could've happened.
I have always been terrified of this happening. It wouldn't have been my fault, it wasn't this girl's fault, but I'd for sure feel like it was for the rest of my life. We deserve a world where people feel safe alone no matter where they are, but that's not what we have, and it 100% can happen to you.
Yes to all of this ❤️
Amen
You are a great friend 🤎
What happened to your friend? The one everyone ignored
Paul Flores acted like he was trying to help her get home safe… people should be able to defend themselves, that’s one of the many reasons I support the right for college students to be taught to use and carry a firearm. A firearm is the great equalizer. Even the thought that someone might be carrying could prevent them as being seen as an easy target. I’m talking about being trained and required to prove that you are being responsible. An intoxicated person behind the wheel of a car is extremely dangerous, so I believe that if we’re going to allow college students to drive, we should allow them to protect themselves and others.
*I know I’m not expressing a popular opinion. Thankfully we have the 1st amendment in the United States, and the 2nd to protect it! 🇺🇸
I love how you have all of the pictures. It really brings you closer to the story!
I know this was aired two years ago and the comment will probably not be seen but I want to thank you, Kendall, for your amazing work. You carry the spirit of what much of the true crime community is about. You are a spectacular advocate and representative and I'm grateful for your work.
Hi Kendall I would love your help in covering my son Enrique Rios and his friend Elijah’s murders. Their bodies have never been found and I would love extra coverage in case it reaches someone who may know where they were buried. Please help!! I filled out a case request about 1-2 weeks ago
I hope you find someone to help. Sorry for your loss
I hope Kendall sees this, and that you find some peace and justice for your son and his friend 🤍
I hope Kendall see's this because you and your family deserve justice 💗
i hope she covers your case. i'm so sorry for your loss
May Gods Angels direct your family home to you, by the spilled blood of Jesus. Amen 🙏✝️🙏❤️
OK everybody makes mistakes but like multiple people let her down that night. Why would u leave a drunk girl with someone nicknamed Chester the molester
SO MANY PEOPLE failed her! It’s crazy that he was a known creep and they left her there with him! I know that guilt would’ve ate me up if I was one of those ppl
right
I hope she feels bad to this day.
Why couldn’t she tell her? crash dorm for the night? That’s Guy weird so crash with me😔
Possibly because they were naive af thinking he’s a creep but he wouldn’t actually do something to her. 🤦♀️ regardless you don’t ever leave a person alone with someone like that and think she’ll be okay. He was he even trying to kiss her, and she still left her alone with him!! Like wtf.
our justice system in general is so messed up. the work you do to shed light on these true crime stories is very important and appreciated.
I’m picturing this “citizens detective” Dennis & the Flores family angrily taking pictures of eachother 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Paul should've been arrested when he was spying in women's windows . End of story look what happened now
You got that right! A creeps actions will always snowball into worse and worse crimes. Stop them early.
@@bruh-hk6tz yes I agree
This happens all the time. Someone ends up killing someone and come to find out they had been caught doing these type of things but police let them go.
Totally but the most disturbing thing is due to the fact that he pretty much got off scot-free ( or so he thought) makes me hope that authorities are going to look at his post-history and any possible unsolved crimes that could be related.
Cause people don’t take women’s intuition seriously or their safety. It’s so frustrating
the “watch” beeping is absolutely haunting
I have just found your videos this past week and can't stop watching. They are amazing 👏 thank you!!!
I love how you cover crime and also help the public find ways to take the initiatives for justice!!
the way my jaw DROPPED when you they were still hearing the watch alarm go off when Krisitn wouldve gotten up for work....because she was in the backyard with her watch still on holy shit
Soooo.. Susan has a problem with “harassment” but has no problem with “murder”???
was thinking the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The audacity!
Disgusting!
She is a b
Mr. Smart was my high school principal in Stockton. I remember when Kristen was reported missing 😢
Never heard Stockton and “really beautiful area” in the same sentence 😂 IYKYK.
