He said his team has, in general, \u201ccome up with a methodology to assess soil vapor\u201d and its relation to \u201chuman cadaver decomposition,\u201d but that he could not discuss the current investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Smart went missing from California Polytechnic State University in May 1996 after returning from an off-campus party. Prosecutors alleged she was killed during an attempted rape and that the last person she was seen with was Paul Flores, a fellow student. She was declared legally dead in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>The decades-old case has captivated the public, fueled in part by a podcaster who helped investigators by bringing forward additional witnesses. Chris Lambert of the \u201cYour Own Backyard\u201d podcast first reported the search of the home in the central coast town of Arroyo Grande, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Los Angeles.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Attempts to reach Susan Flores for comment Wednesday and Thursday were not successful.

Soil vapor sampling, which is an evolving science, involves collecting underground gas samples to detect volatile organic compounds associated with human decomposition.<\/p>\n<p>Lambert, the podcaster, said he did not know much about the search, but was optimistic investigators could locate Smart\u2019s body. He said past searches of Susan Flores\u2019 home have never been thorough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis property in particular has been overlooked for quite some time,\u201d he said Thursday in front of the house.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Paul Flores and his father, Ruben Flores, were arrested in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors alleged Smart\u2019s remains were buried on Ruben Flores\u2019 property and later moved. He was acquitted of accessory charges. That property is different from the one currently being searched.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Flores was sentenced in March 2023 to prison, where he has been physically attacked at least twice. In 2024, a judge ruled that he must pay just over $350,000 to Smart\u2019s family for costs they incurred after her death.<\/p>\n<p>The family has said it would forgo restitution if Flores would tell them where the woman\u2019s body was. Flores\u2019 attorney, Harold Mesick, said in 2024 that the defense did not know where her remains are.
