ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. (AP) — Investigators have served a search warrant at the central California home of the father of a man long under investigation in the disappearance of college student Kristin Smart nearly 25 years ago.

The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office said Monday it has been authorized to use cadaver dogs and ground penetrating radar during what could be two days of searching at the home of Ruben Flores in Arroyo Grande.

Ruben Flores is the father of Paul Flores, who was seen with the 19-year-old Smart before she vanished at California State University, San Luis Obispo.

Paul Flores has never been arrested or charged in the case.
