All right, now we get to April 13th of 2021.

Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge
Legally Brunette: The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

This is nearly 25 years after Kristen's first disappearance.

Legally Brunette: The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

Paul Flores is arrested and charged with her murder.

Legally Brunette: The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

And Ruben Flores, his father, is arrested and charged as an accessory after the fact for allegedly helping conceal Kristen's body.

Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge
Legally Brunette: The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

I assume helping him remove it, conceal it, bury it.

Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge
Legally Brunette: The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

prosecutors announced that they believe kristen was killed during the commission or attempted commission of rape because of california's statute of limitations paul cannot be separately charged with rape however prosecutors use the attempted rape allegation as the basis for a first-degree felony murder charge you understand that right yeah the statute of limitations ran out on rape so he can't be charged with rape right however he committed murder

Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge
Legally Brunette: The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

Murder, there's no statute of limitations.

Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge
Legally Brunette: The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

There is no statute of limitations on murder.

And they're claiming that he murdered her in the commission of trying to rape her.

Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge
Legally Brunette: The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

Therefore, it's a felony murder charge.

Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge
Legally Brunette: The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

Right.

Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge
Legally Brunette: The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

He goes to trial in the summer of 2022, and due to extensive publicity surrounding the case, the trial was moved from San Luis Obispo County to Monterey County.

Separate juries simultaneously hear the cases against Paul Flores and his father, Ruben Flores.

Legally Brunette: The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

Prosecutors argue that Paul Flores attempted to rape Kristen after walking her home that night, that he killed her, and members of the Flores family later helped him hide and move her body.
