When Kristin Smart, a California Polytechnic State University student, doesn't come back from a Frat party on Memorial Day Weekend, her roommates are concerned. But police do not act on this information. This case would later turn into one of California's most famous missing person cases, with brand new evidence that has come to light after nearly 25 years.
