Wow.

So initially investigators zone in on Paul Flores because he is the last known person to be seen with Kristen.

When Paul is brought in for questioning, police notice that he has a black eye.

and this is a couple weeks later um yeah okay the scratches other things that could have healed in a couple weeks yeah i don't know if this is a couple weeks or a couple days i don't know exactly nonetheless it wasn't the next day no it took a while for them to interview people to get paul flores's name to figure out he was the last person training classes and learn how to investigate a crime scene

paul gives different explanations for the injury initially claiming he got it while playing basketball then later saying he got it while working on his truck paul agrees to do a polygraph test then we get to june of 1996 after school has ended and the dorm rooms have been cleaned out police use cadaver dogs to sniff out paul flores dorm multiple dogs head straight towards his room and go right to where his bed was

Search teams conduct large-scale searches of surrounding areas, including wooded regions and campus land, but Kristen is never found.

They show lots of video and images of this college campus, and it is really beautiful, and it is kind of just tucked away, and it's just valleys and mountains and valleys and mountains.

It's just kind of tucked in like a valley.

So I don't know.

The question is...

since we know that she didn't make it to her dorm room, we can only assume that he took her into his dorm room.

Wait, I'm sorry.

Okay.

You might've said this, but when the transfer took place to Mr. Flores, where was that?

They were out.

They were heading towards their dorms.

His dorm was right next to hers.

The way I understand it.

On the same path.

So I assume that Paul Flores kind of intervened before they were coming up to those dorms.
