Fox News
The decades-old murder case involving vanished college freshman Kristin Smart is complicated, to say the least -- especially since the 19-year-old's body has never been found.

Smart was a 19-year-old freshman at California State Polytechnic University’s San Luis Obispo campus in 1996 when she was last seen, allegedly heavily intoxicated, with the Paul Flores after an off-campus party on Crandall Way. She was walked back from the party by three people – two people, a man and a woman, and then Flores. The others slowly peeled off after Flores allegedly insisted multiple times that he could get Smart home safely.
She was never seen again.
