Then we get to February of 2020.

In February 2020, investigators executed a search warrant at Paul Flores' home in San Pedro, California.

I don't know what instigated their ability to get a search warrant because you know you have to have probable cause in order to get a search warrant.

So I don't know exactly what new evidence came forward that gave them the probable cause to search his property.

I think they keep that under wraps because I couldn't really find a lot of information about that.

Also, there are so many different searches of all these different Flores properties that it's hard to keep track of all the different searches.

But the first one I believe is in 2020 February.

It's Paul Flores' home.

Authorities reportedly seized electronics, vehicles, possible biological evidence, digital material, and other items of interest.

Later court records reveal investigators allegedly discovered evidence suggesting Paul had a long history of predatory behavior towards women.

That was another thing that when we talked about earlier about the campus police not investigating it thoroughly, I read that there were other women that had come forward saying

on the campus and had complained about Paul Flores saying that he had, you know, touched them inappropriately or harassed them or followed them like stalking type of behavior.

Also, he had a nickname that people called him Chester, the molester.

That's how weird and off and inappropriate he was towards women.

That they changed his name to Chester?

So that it could rhyme with molester?

So that they could rhyme it with molester.

They referred to him as Chester the Molester, and they said he was creepy.

Now, my question is, when those two people handed Kristen off to Paul Flores...
