A second jury acquitted Ruben Flores of charges that the 81-year-old helped his son cover up the crime bySan Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson said that like the Smart family, the verdict does not close the case for his department.
Speaking on behalf of the family during the news conference, Stan Smart said the case had been an “agonizingly long journey with more downs than ups.”after walking toward the college dormitories with Flores, a fellow Cal Poly San Luis Obispo student, after a house party. When she and two other students began to leave, Flores appeared out of the darkness to help her walk home, witnesses testified. She was never seen again.
