A jury in a separate trial found his father, Ruben Flores, not guilty of charges of being an accessory to murder after the fact.

HerSan Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson told reporters at a news conference that the investigation won't end until Smart's remains are found.
His father, now 81, was accused of helping bury the slain student behind his home in the nearby community of Arroyo Grande and later digging up the remains and moving them. Paul Flores had long been considered a suspect in the killing. He had a black eye when investigators interviewed him.
