In response to message #0
 
   It isn't easy to give up and saying 'goodbye' is even much harder. It's been so many years and today May 25, 2001, marks the anniversary date that Kristen vanished.

Kristen will never be forgotten, her spirit lingers on. A wonderul vivacious young lady that was loved, and will always be remembered by those that loved her.

2 . "Kristin's Strongest Transits"
Posted by Mikie on Mar-06-00 at 03:09 PM (EST)
Kristin's strongest transit at the time she
disappeared was Saturn conjunct natal Moon. In
astrology, the basic meaning of Saturn is discipline or hardship, and Moon is mother or emotional
makeup, personality. Saturn usually represents male authority while Moon is a very female planet.
Together in conjunction they are awkward, disturbing, and uncomfortable, especially for women. (In
reading these definitions, please keep in mind that they are
not necessarily truth, just partially so. Some things may seem so real that they become confused
with truth. Generally, the information should be considered 60% truth. Some of it will obviously seem
untrue. But in general, it could help to understand Kristin's situation when she disappeared. And of
course, you should be careful to not come to conclusions prematurely.)

Here are some pertinent quotes from James Braha's
book, "How to Predict Your Future", which defines
outer planet transits like those of Saturn. Outer
planet transits are longer lasting, and therefore more reliably predictable in their astrological
influence.) He defines "Transiting Saturn Conjuncts the Natal Moon" on page 127-128.

SATURN CONJUNCT NATAL MOON

"The person experiences rejection in some area of life or is denied some important heartfelt desires.
She reacts by turning inward and focusing intently on her weaknesses, imperfections, flawed habit
patterns, and
basic vulnerabilities ...Unfortunately, however, she may also experience pain and sorrow about her
mortal, fallible nature. The person too easily loses perspective and is overly hard on herself. She is
temporarily self-critical, moody, and hypersensitive. She gives little or no weight to her talents and
virtues. ..feels unlovable, misunderstood, and isolated from the world ...excessive fears, worries, and
negative attitude may cause sickness...may have problems with her teeth and bones or ailments
involving the stomach, breast, and brain...woman may
experience problems with her menstrual ycle...should get plenty of rest, avoid overwork or
excessively stressful situations...her confidence is low, and she may censor her emotions or delay
personal gratification...feels internal tension, frustration, and pressure ...this is a depressing, lonely or
unhappy time...Obstacles, dilemmas, or predicaments involving the person's mother may arise suddenly
...mother's health may deteriorate, or she may suffer in some other way...good time for handling long-standing problems with one's mother and women in general...has strength and objectivity to deal
squarely with issues she has ignored and avoided in the past....Love relationships or other associations which have lost their potential for fulfillment may end. If the person has been acting out of false hope, she is now forced to face the truth and take action...she
examines her unconscious behavioral patterns in order to root out obsessions, cravings, addictions,and all forms of emotional dependency. To the extent that the person succeeds at this, she creates a psychologically
healthy and liberated future...Some individuals now face karmic payback for harmful actions they
have inflicted on loved ones in the past...(the person) feels a strong sense of guilt for any
wrongdoings she has knowingly committed...warmth, touch, and emotional support will help children
going through thisperiod..."

So it is a gloomy period, Saturn conjunct natal moon,full of rejection, guilt, feelings of loneliness,
pain, sorrow, inadequacy. Kristin possibly was in a relationship that was without potential or
fulfillment. It may have needed to end or did end. It is possible that her mother or her mother's (or
another mother's)influence (Moon) somehow affected hersituation or thinking.

There is a similar description in Hand's "Planets in Transit". He uses a lot of the same words and
concepts, "...introspection, self-examination,
self-criticism...often you will feel lonely and
depressed...too self-critical and even
self-destructive...feelings of guilt...self
questioning and doubt...difficulties in relationships,expecially with women,...if you have recently
brokenoff a relationship, it may be best to leave it that way."

PLUTO TRINE NATAL MOON

Another fairly strong transit Kristin had was Pluto trine natal Moon. I give the transits numerical
weightings to allow ranking them by strength both for the type of transit and the closeness. For both
of the two transits I am trying to define here, I really can't say exactly what the strength was
because the moon moves fastest of all the astrology planets ...about one degree every two hours,
and I do not have her time of birth. The meaning of Pluto trine Moon is usually beneficial, a period of
profound positive experiences. So I doubt that it can be too significant in her disappearance,
although it is possible that it brought about a new relationship while the old one was fading. In fact
there is that possibility that there was an unknown new lover, which came as the old relationship
went, causing problems like jealousy and possessiveness.

PLUTO SQUARE NATAL SUN

In fact, Pluto was square her Sun also. Marilyn
Monroe committed suicide (probably)with Pluto square her natal Sun. The effect of the transit is that
one becomes confrontational, and a woman in particular becomes confrontational with men, as Sun
represents men. Marilyn fired her housekeeper (a woman) the day that she died, disputed with her
male psychologist, but also apparently had become embarrasingly involved with the Kennedys and
even the CIA at the same time that her other personality, Norma Jean Baker, was marrying Joe
DiMaggio...she had developed obvious problems with the men in her life. Nicole Brown, similarly, had
Pluto opposite Sun when she wasmurdered.

SUMMARY
So there is the picture, a period of Kristin ending a relationship, possibly starting a new one, possibly
having a confrontation, possibly being too hard on herself, even possibly self-destructive. Studying
the astrology of her male friend would help to clarifywhat happened.

8. "What happened To Kristen D. Smart?"
In response to message #7
 
  

What happened to Kristen D. Smart

Kristen Denise Smart, age 19 and a freshman speech communications major at Cal Poly, was last seen at approximately 2 a.m. on the morning of May 25, 1996.

Miss Smart had gone to an end of the year party earlier in the evening in San Luis Obispo. She was last seen walking back to her dormitory (Muir Hall), accompanied by another student, 19 year old Paul Flores, who is the last known person believed to have seen Miss Smart. Mr. Flores stated that he parted with Miss Smart at the intersection of Grand and Perimeter. This location is a short distance from both of their dorms.

As reported in the Telegram-Tribune dated August 7, 1996, law enforcement made independent searches of the Santa Lucia Hall, where Mr. Flores lived, four "cadaver dogs" from the California Rescue Dog Association were used. These dogs are highly trained in detecting human remains. In every search these dogs went immediately to the Mr. Flores' room and to the mattress in that room. The dogs also showed interest in a waste basket in the room, even when it was switched with others in the area.

Her roommate did not report her missing until May 28, 1996. Her identification, clothes and toiletries were left behind. At the time of her disappearance Miss Smart was believed to be wearing a gray shirt, a black skirt or shorts, and tennis shoes. She is 6'1" tall, weighing approximately 145 lbs., with brown eyes and long blond or possibly dyed brunette hair.

Miss Smart goes by the nickname "Roxy". She was born in Germany where her parents were teachers. Raised in Stockton, California, she loved the ocean and to travel. Her family, friends and law enforcement are anxious to find out what happened to her.

The San Luis Obispo Sheriff's office has spent many hours and resources tracking down every available lead in this case. It is through the efforts of Sheriff Ed Williams that this case was made available to "The Fallen Wall".

This case was aired September 20, 1996, on the series "Unsolved Mysteries".

Crime Stoppers of San Luis Obispo is offering a $10,000 reward in this case. Anyone with information that might be helpful to the law enforcement authorities are urged to contact them at the numbers below.


If anyone has any information about this incident PLEASE contact the San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Department at 805-781-4500. A viewer can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-549-STOP, or contact the F.B.I.

Quick Facts


1. Legal counsel for Paul Flores and his family, on MORE than one occasion, have offered to plea bargain., i.e., lead investigators to Kristin's body in exchange for a reduced charge. Kristin's parent's agreed the first two times, but Paul's counsel failed to respond."

2. At the deposition in November 1997, Ruben Flores walked into a room where Denise Smart was alone. He took this opportunity to laugh in her face.

3. Kristin only knew Paul for a little more than two hours. He just happened to be at a party she attended.

5. An extended member of the Flores family telephoned Kristin's mother and sympathetically asked her how she was doing and whether or not she was crying? When Denise said that "yes" she was crying alot, the woman responded. "Well, the reason I am calling is just to let you know that we don't care that you are crying." I am not making this stuff up.

4. Cadaver dogs trained to pick up the "scent of death" led their handlers to the mattress in Paul Flores' dorm room in Santa Lucia Hall, Room 128.





6. Sheriff's Statement
"Our office has used it's finest detectives and all leads lead to Paul Flores. Paul Flores is the only suspect. Until Paul Flores tells us what happened to that night, this case will not be solved."

10. "Smart Missing For Six Years"
In response to message #9
 
  


Smart missing for six years


David Freitas


SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, May 24 - A civil lawsuit was filed Friday claiming that Paul Flores murdered Kristin Smart.


ON MAY 25, 1996, Cal Poly student Kristin Smart was escorted home from a party by Paul Flores and was never seen again. Earlier this week, the court officially declared

Tana Sinclair, attorney
Smart to be dead, which paved the way for the wrongful death lawsuit filed on Friday. "It is also an open extension to Paul to come forward and tell us if he knows something. We're much more interested in his information regarding the whereabouts of Kristin than prosecuting him civilly," said Tana Sinclair, attorney.
In court papers, attorneys for the Smart family clearly outline what they think happened on the night of May 25, 1996. The documents say that "Flores is the last person to have seen Kristin Smart alive," and "Flores violently assaulted and murdered Kristin Smart and disposed of her body in an unknown location, presumably in San Luis Obispo County."
Sinclair explained that there must be a reason that Flores would never cooperate in the investigation. "We feel it has to be something as serious as murder for him not to speak with us or to provide us with information as to her whereabouts."
Sinclair compares this case to the OJ Simpson case in that Simpson wasn't convicted of murder, yet he was held liable for murder.
Though Flores was never arrested or charged in Smart's disappearance, law enforcement called him a suspect. During the investigation, Flores repeatedly took advantage of the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer questions.
The suit seeks unspecified financial damages for emotion and pain caused by Kristin's disappearance. Attorneys have said, however, that the issue is not the money but rather finding out what happened to Kristin.

In response to message #14
 
   What ever happened to the possibility of Scott Peterson being involved with the disappearance? I thought some of the authorities were looking into that, as he and Lacy were living in the area at the time of Kristin's disappearance.

Stranger things have happened.

No matter what, I just hope her family finds some closure to this. No one should EVER have to suffer something like this.

What Happened to Kristin Smart?


A Mystery Remains Unsolved at College Laci and Scott Peterson Attended

July 22— Last month, as students at California Polytechnic State University were graduating, Denise Smart had a more somber ceremony — a memorial service for her daughter Kristin, who has been missing for seven years.


Kristin Smart attended the school Laci and Scott Peterson attended. She disappeared seven years ago and was declared dead in May 2002. (ABCNEWS.com)


Ceremonies like these tend to attract the families of other people who have disappeared without a trace. Buttons bearing the faces of the missing usually give the parents away.

"The worst thing for each of us is thinking that our daughters are forgotten," said Denise Smart. "It's like being in a club that no one wants to belong to."

The Laci Peterson case and the enormous media coverage surrounding her slaying hangs especially strong over California Polytechnic University. Laci Rocha and her future husband, Scott Peterson — the man now charged with killing her and their unborn child — were seniors at the school when Kristin Smart, then a 19-year-old freshman, disappeared on May 25, 1996.

Crucial Delay in Investigation

Kristin was last seen at a party at a campus fraternity house, and witnesses told police she drank heavily that night.

Kristin left the party with another woman and a male student named Paul Flores. She was last seen with Flores, who walked her to an area near her dormitory.

Crystal Calvin, Kristin's roommate, said she became worried when she didn't see Kristin the next morning. Calvin contacted campus police, but she said they didn't take her seriously because it was Memorial Day weekend, a holiday period when students normally take mini-vacations.

"They were like, 'It's Memorial Day weekend, and if we did this, if we filled out a missing person's for every student who went away for the weekend, etc.,' " said Calvin. " 'You know that's not really necessary. I'm sure she'll be back.' "

But Kristin didn't come back. Officials did not declare her missing until four days later. Her family believes campus police ignored their daughter's disappearance during a period where investigators could have gathered critical clues.

"It's probably happened a hundred times a year where somebody gets drunk, passes out, wakes up the next day and they're back home ," said Tim Hames, a private investigator in the Smart case. "So they don't really have experience with dealing with true missing persons, let alone a homicide. … Hindsight is 20/20 of course and looking back, it should have been processed."

A Suspect Never Charged

San Luis Obispo County police officials said they have long considered Paul Flores a suspect in Kristin's disappearance. However, they have never been able to gather enough evidence to arrest him. Police said they suspect the delay in declaring Kristin missing ultimately hampered their investigation.

"Much of the evidence was more than likely gone by Saturday or Sunday," said St. Luis Obispo police Lt. Steve Bolts. "He is considered a suspect and continues to be the only suspect in our opinion at this time."

Flores has denied any involvement in the disappearance. Kristin was declared dead in May 2002, and her family subsequently filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Flores. They had sued Flores previously, but dropped the lawsuit because they hoped more evidence would surface.

ABCNEWS was unable to reach Flores but did speak with his attorney and his father. Neither would comment on the case.

Hoping for a ‘Final Chapter’

The Smart family hopes investigators eventually will uncover new information about what happened to Kristin.

They will take any spotlight — even one that's a byproduct of the Laci Peterson tragedy — to reignite interest in Kristin's case. Several supermarket tabloids speculated about whether Scott Peterson could have been involved in Kristin's disappearance, simply because they attended the same school. However, no known evidence links Kristin to Peterson.

"The media cover a fraction of those young people that are missing," Denise Smart said. "But I think in Laci's story, it was so ongoing, it's like reading a novel. If there's no next chapter, you're old, you're finished. We're waiting for our final chapter."

In response to message #16
 
   To answer ...we don't know. The last person known to have seen Kristen was Paul Flores.

The following is a brief of what happened after Kristen Smart to Rachel Newhouse and also Aundria Crawford, students at CalPoly and Cuesta College, nearby. Rex Krebs, who was employed in a downtown hardware store (?) was tried and convicted of the murders of these two young women whos bodies were found in 1999.

Suspect Named in Disappearance of 2 Students
From Associated Press
SAN LUIS OBISPO--A man jailed on a parole violation is being investigated in connection with the disappearance of two college students, police said Thursday. Rex Allen Krebs is a "prime suspect," said Capt. Bart Topham.

Details of what led police to Krebs or of his earlier case were not released. As of Thursday evening, he had not been arrested or charged in the missing students case. Investigators were searching the Davis Canyon area Thursday for possible clues, Topham said.

Three San Luis Obispo college students have disappeared in the last three years. Krebs is a suspect in the Aundria Lynn Crawford and Rachel Newhouse cases.

Crawford, 20, a Cuesta College student, was last seen March 9 and was reported missing by her mother three days later. Authorities have said someone had forced his way into her home.

Rachel Newhouse, a 20-year-old Irvine native who attended Cal Poly, was last seen leaving a party Nov. 12.

Also missing is Kristen Smart, 19, of Stockton, who disappeared May 25, 1996.

19. "Paul Flores ..."
In response to message #18
 
   ...and Kristen Smart had just met.
I too favor Flores, however see this:

"San Luis Obispo County police officials said they have long considered Paul Flores a suspect in Kristin's disappearance. However, they have never been able to gather enough evidence to arrest him. Police said they suspect the delay in declaring Kristin missing ultimately hampered their investigation. HOw much time does it take? How many more years to find the evidence?

"Much of the evidence was more than likely gone by Saturday or Sunday," said St. Luis Obispo police Lt. Steve Bolts. "He is considered a suspect and continues to be the only suspect in our opinion at this time."
Why was the evidence gone by Saturday or Sunday? What happened about K-9 SAR ?

Flores has denied any involvement in the disappearance. Kristin was declared dead in May 2002, and her family subsequently filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Flores. They had sued Flores previously, but dropped the lawsuit because they hoped more evidence would surface. Once declared dead it's a task to find media attention that might possibly lead to clues and 'evidence'.

*(Ask Juliana Woodworth of her missing sister and little niece, Grace Reapp and 5 year old niece, Gracie Noel Reapp (in this forum)...it's been more than 20 years, still NO leads ) No media attention, AMW, Unsolved Mysterys...not one will take the story. I know for a fact, once declared 'dead' they wont touch. How do I know? Juliana has tried, I've tried.

   The college let Paul move out of his dorm room and clean it so they lost the evidence. The tracking dogs not cadaver dogs, tracked Kristins scent to Paul dorm room.

21. "The Scent of Paul Flores ..."
In response to message #20
 
   The scent dogs tracked Kristen to Paul Flores room and to his mattress.

I say why not track Paul Flores, the last person known to have seen her ? Should have been done at that time !

   " However, no known evidence links Kristin to Peterson."

That is the part I don't understand, why didn't the check Paul and Scott?
LE decides there is no link between Scott and Kristin, well if you really want to look that far into it, then they wouldn't have found any link between Paul and Kristin prior to two hours before she went missing, Paul was caught window peeping at the party she was attending. Why doesn't someone ask if Paul played golf at the same place Scott worked part time the golf course? why couldn't Scott have helped move her body in the golf cart found abandoned? why couldn't Scott have lent Paul his car? because Paul didn't have one, he had lost his licence.
