"There is no question that Cal Poly failed our daughter, Kristin Smart, in multiple ways before and after her tragic murder by Paul Flores," the Smart family said in a statement Monday. "Had the university acted properly, conducted a thorough investigation into Flores' past concerning behavior, and implemented appropriate disciplinary measures, Kristin would likely still be alive today."
"Cal Poly's breaches of its legal duty include but are not limited to the following: It did not pursue a missing person case promptly, did not interview witnesses timely, did not seal the primary suspect's dorm room as a crime scene, allowed the suspect's room to be sanitized and cleaned before it was searched, and did not search the suspect's room until sixteen days after Kristin disappeared," lawyers for the family alleged in the lawsuit.
