What happened to Kristin Smart?

Kristin Smart was a 19-year-old California Polytechnic State University student who disappeared in May of 1996.

The freshman student was presumed to be dead after being abducted from her college campus in San Luis Obispo, California campus.

Three fellow students escorted Smart back to her hall of residence after an off-campus party before she disappeared.

Smart's classmate Paul Flores, was believed to be the last person to see her.

She disappeared on Memorial Day weekend.

The last time her parents heard from her was in a voicemail she left after the party.

Although a body was never found, Smart was declared legally dead in 2002.

After her disappearance, Flores told police that she was "walking real slow" and that he returned to his room in a separate dorm after walking her home.
