Nearly 24 years after college student Kristin Smart vanished from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, investigators and the FBI on Wednesday served search warrants in San Luis Obispo County, Washington state and San Pedro, where a man who was questioned at the time of Smart’s disappearance now lives. (Carolyn Cole/Los Angeles Times)FBI agents and San Luis Obispo County sheriff’s detectives were in the area Wednesday, but no arrests were made, authorities said. Flores has been identified as a person of interest in the case by San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson. In 2016, federal investigators dug up a hillside near the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo campus, looking for remains. But in the last few months, the investigation has intensified with efforts to track vehicles owned by Flores’ family at the time of Smart’s disappearance.
