Used to camp there every year with my family. Brought my kids back there many years ago.

Still cool.

My best friend was going to Cal Poly when this happened. Is the billboard still up off hwy 101?

I always figured it was a murder.

It's a well known fact that many serial killers love returning to the site where they disposed of bodies. They get off reliving the excitement of the initial crime.

Concrete does a very good job of preserving remains. One of the murders here had a guy encased in concrete for 25 years and you could still see the logo on his T-shirt.

The case doesn't really fit a serial killer profile though, does it?  More of an opportunist who sexually assaulted someone and then murdered them to clean up evidence.

I read a search warrant affidavit from the 2000's, she is in the dirt. The entire back yard was concrete and planter boxes where dug out of the concrete around the time she went missing.

Why they did not dig them up back then I'll probably never know. Mom found an earring at the house that didn't belong, gave it to the cops and they lost it.

It's probably a demo/quickie saw being run with just an abrasive blade and no water so it doesn't taint whatever they're looking for.

Hope they’re adhering to OSHA 1926.1153.


They really should be using water on the blade. Without it, the blade will overheat and warp. And it’s dusty as fuck.
I was a concrete cutter for 20 years so at least I know I’ll probably die of some sort of lung disease.

On February 11, 2021, KSBY reported that Paul Flores was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, which is a felony.[32]

On March 15, 2021, a search warrant was issued to search Ruben Flores' home, including the use of cadaver dogs and ground-penetrating radar. An older-model Volkswagen was being towed from the home of Ruben Flores after cadaver dogs searched the vehicle. [33]

On April 13, 2021, Paul and Ruben Flores were taken into custody by San Luis Obispo County police officers in relation to the case. [34]

I kinda think its not uncommon, as at least you have control over the property, maybe some guilt on top who knows. be interesting to pick their brains on it. I'm sure someone has.

few years back a guy on his death bed admitted to murders, and said he burred them in the garage of the house he was renting.

sure enough they found em shortly after the dude died. guess it never left him.

I knew the guy who lived in the house, they had to unpile the poor guys collections of old cars and bondo dust just to get to the site. it was quite a thing, long garage, he had a old corvette in there he talked about for years. nice guy, died shortly after... unrelated, cancer or something, probably from all the bondo dust.

From my understanding it wasn’t just that she was buried and a slab poured over her but the body was basically incased in concrete under the ground.
