The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office has concluded a forensic search of a property in Arroyo Grande, California, which failed to recover the remains of Kristin Smart.

聖路易斯-奧比斯波縣警長辦公室已結束在加州 Arroyo Grande 一處房產的法醫搜查，未能尋獲 Kristin Smart 的遺骸。

The investigation focused on the residence of Susan Flores, the mother of Paul Flores, who was convicted of first-degree murder in 2022. Law enforcement utilized ground-penetrating radar and specialized soil analysis, the latter of which Sheriff Ian Parkinson indicated had yielded results consistent with the presence of decomposing human organic compounds. Despite these indicators, the search of the property and an adjacent yard did not result in the recovery of the decedent.

此次調查集中在 Susan Flores 的住所，她是 Paul Flores 的母親，後者於 2022 年被裁定一級謀殺罪成立。執法部門使用了地底穿透雷達和專業的土壤分析，警長 Ian Parkinson 指出，後者的結果與人體有機化合物分解後的特徵一致。儘管有這些跡象，但在該物業及其相鄰院子的搜查中仍未能尋獲死者。

Historically, Kristin Smart disappeared in 1996 while enrolled at California Polytechnic State University and was legally declared deceased in 2002. The prosecution's theory posits that the victim was killed during an attempted sexual assault. While Paul Flores is currently serving a sentence of 25 years to life, the location of the remains remains undetermined. Investigators have hypothesized that the body may have been relocated multiple times, noting that a previous site was identified beneath a deck at the home of Ruben Flores, who was subsequently acquitted of accessory charges.

回溯歷史，Kristin Smart 於 1996 年就讀於加州理工大學期間失蹤，並於 2002 年被法律宣告死亡。檢方理論認為，被害人是在一次企圖性侵的過程中被殺。雖然 Paul Flores 目前正服 25 年至終身監禁，但遺骸的位置仍未確定。調查人員假設屍體可能被多次搬遷，並指出先前在 Ruben Flores 家中的露台下方發現過一個地點，而 Ruben 隨後被判脫離協助犯罪的指控。

Regarding future legal proceedings, Sheriff Parkinson noted that the continued identification of evidence could facilitate additional charges. Specifically, the possibility of prosecuting Susan Flores as an accessory remains a contingent objective, provided a sufficient evidentiary link is established. The Sheriff's Office has stated its intention to secure further warrants as necessary to exhaust all investigative leads.

關於未來的法律程序，警長 Parkinson 指出，持續發現證據可能有助於提出額外指控。具體而言，只要能建立足夠的證據鏈，起訴 Susan Flores 協助犯罪仍是一個可能的目標。警長辦公室表示，將在必要時申請更多搜查令，以窮盡所有調查線索。

The search of the Arroyo Grande property has ended without the recovery of remains, though the analysis of collected evidence continues.

在 Arroyo Grande 物業的搜查已結束且未能尋獲遺骸，但對收集證據的分析仍在繼續。
