Summary
A 19-year-old Cal Poly freshman leaves a Memorial Day party in 1996 and never makes it back to her dorm. No body, no crime scene – just one last person seen walking beside her in the dark. For nearly 25 years, the case of Kristin Smart went cold — kept alive only by a family that refused to stop asking questions. It took a small-town sheriff willing to break silence and an outsider podcaster methodically knocking on doors to finally crack open what happened that night — and why so many people stayed quiet for so long.
