A preliminary hearing in the Kristin Smart murder case began Monday with an emotional testimony from her mother as she fielded questions from California prosecutors about her relationship with the missing college student.
Paul Flores, 44, was the last person seen with Smart. They were both freshmen at the college when she disappeared. Prosecutors allege he killed her during an attempted rape in his dorm room.
Under cross-examination by defense attorney Robert Sanger, attorney for Paul Flores, Denise Smart said her daughter had visited Thailand once on a family trip and never said anything about wanting to visit the country in the spring of 1996. An attorney for Ruben Flores asked Smart's mother if she was aware of three alleged sightings of her daughter at Taco Bell restaurants.
She said Kristin wasn't"particularly happy" at the university earlier in the year but was more optimistic when the family saw her that spring. She said the school was not aware Smart was missing when the family contacted them.
