San Pedro resident Paul Flores either raped Kristin Smart or was attempting to when he caused her death in 1996, and his father helped him conceal her body, San Luis Obispo County’s district attorney said Wednesday, April 14, while announcing the charges filed against both of them.

Flores, now 44, was charged with first-degree murder and his father, Ruben Flores, 80, with accessory after the fact of murder, one day after they were both arrested, District Attorney Dan Dow said.

Dow also said that evidence showed the crime scene was Flores’ dorm room at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he and Smart were students the last time she was seen on May 25, 1996.

Flores was being held without the possibility of bail and Ruben Flores was being held on $250,000 bail, although officials said the father’s bail amount might increase during his first court appearance on Thursday, April 15.
