DA Dow says his office has filed a "no body" #homicide in the past and successfully prosecuted. He said the process is more difficult and complicated, but says the office doesn't file charges unless they are confident. #KristinSmart

Dow says #PaulFlores' dorm room is considered to be a crime scene. #KristinSmart

Dow says he is concerned about sexual assault cases specifically. #KristinSmart

SLO District Attorney Dan Dow said there are potentially more victims of Paul Flores. That is a huge development in the #kristinsmart case.

SLO county DA Dan Dow says there may be "additional victims in the Southern California area." Did not elaborate further but asked potential victims to reach out #kristinsmart

Statute of limitation for rape has expired, District Attorney Dow said. The allegations that #rape was committed or attempted the rape is the basis for filing felony murder charges. #KristinSmart

Susan Flores has not been charged in relation to the #kristinsmart case. Only Paul and Ruben Flores.
In the Your Own Backyard podcast, Paul's mother Susan made a snarky comment that he did two girls. Kristen and the other name escapes me. Does anyone remember the name?
I'm not 100% sure but I believe the name of the other girl Susan Flores commented about was Kristen ModaferriIn the Your Own Backyard podcast, Paul's mother Susan made a snarky comment that he did two girls. Kristen and the other name escapes me. Does anyone remember the name?
Kristen Modafferi (maybe)

The arrests brought me back to this case (hooray - finally) and I did a deep dive into some of the coverage trying to figure out where there could have been DNA/evidence. I have one thought about DNA since Kristin (and the earring - arghhh) are missing. In the following article, one thing stood out:Like everyone else, I am itching to know what evidence LE has uncovered (might there be DNA?), but it appears that we will have to be patient. I am particularly interested to know what evidence they have on RF, PF's dad. I am encouraged by DA Dow's confidence, however.

Statement from the Smart Family regarding today's arrest:
For over twenty-four years, we have waited for this bittersweet day. It is impossible to put into words what this day means for our family; we pray it is the first step to bringing our daughter home. While Kristin’s loving spirit will always live in our hearts, our life without her hugs, laughs and smiles is a heartache that never abates. The knowledge that a father and son, despite our desperate pleas for help, could have withheld this horrible secret for nearly 25 years, denying us the chance to lay our daughter to rest, is an unrelenting and unforgiving pain. We now put our faith in the justice system and move forward, comforted in the knowledge that Kristin has been held in the hearts of so many and that she has not been forgotten.
We honor Kristin today and those who worked with unparalled tenacity and dedication to bring us to this day. Without Kristin in our life, there will never be justice, but we will pray for peace. Unfortunately, the indifference and lack of resolve we experienced early on set the course for many years.
However, when Sheriff Parkinson took office in 2011, he made a promise that Kristin’s disappearance would be one of his top priorities. We are here today because he has remained true to his word. We have kept the faith; never given up; and fully placed our trust and support with him and his team.
The task he and his team accepted was unprecedented in volume and scope, yet they met every setback and challenge with resolve and an unequaled commitment to Kristin and our family.
Our gratitude to Sheriff Parkinson and his department for their professionalism, compassion, and perseverance is without measure. We are forever grateful for Detective Clint Cole who joined ‘Team Kristin’ in 2017 and brought new oxygen to Team Kristin and kept our hopes alive. We would not be here today without his professionalism, perseverance, and dedication. His heart and commitment are without equal.
We would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the exceptional skills, indefatigable work and unselfish dedication of Christopher Lambert who produced Your Own Backyard Podcast. Chris, along with four incredible angels (C, J, J, and J), balanced Kristin on their shoulders while lightening our burden and held our hearts and hopes with fierce resolve and commitment. There simply are ‘no words’!
We also wish to extend our deepest gratitude for all those on the SLOSO team, including Commander Nate Paul, Detective Cole, and their incredible and dedicated support staff. To each law enforcement agency that assisted the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department with their extraordinary efforts, our gratitude is immeasurable. Each gave 110% to ensure that this day would come.
We are pleased that Kristin’s case has now moved to the district attorney’s office, where we know we will be in good hands, and look forward to the day when there will be ‘justice’ for Kristin.
To HEAL, we must REMEMBER not only Kristin but also every heart that carried Kristin and our family in theirs! Kristin’s story is ultimately one of unwavering commitment, resilience and immense gratitude.

Though I a heartbroken for Kristin's family, I am so happy that they are finally closer to getting the closure I'm sure they need and deserve.
I just have one question and sorry to be a debbie downer! I found it a little odd that Dennis Mahon wasn't mentioned by her family or said anything about her being found. Does anyone know if he hasn't been involved recently?
Regardless, back to the most important thing: justice for Kristin may finally be able to be served.
I’m not sure but in the Susan Flores interview from last month, I think she mentions him several times (and not nicely!) as the “Smarts’ henchman.”
