Body found in search for missing teen porn star

THE hunt for a missing college student who led a secret life as an internet porn star turned into a murder case yesterday after her body was found.

Emily Sander, 18, was last seen leaving a bar in El Dorado, Kansas, a week ago with a man who stayed in a motel room where police found large quantities of blood.

Her body was found in undergrowth at the side of a road 80km away.

Police chief Tom Boren said the cause of death was not yet known.

Sander appeared nude on a popular adult web site under the name Zoey Zane.

She was last seen on November 23 with Israel Mireles, 24. Police are looking for him and his 16-year-old pregnant girlfriend. The rental car the pair were driving was found abandoned on Tuesday in Texas, where Mireles has relatives.

Former boyfriend Michael McAllister, 20, said Sander moved in with him when she was 17.

“It was the best time of my life, and I hope it was the same for her,” he said.

He helped her finish high school, and she encouraged him in college. They bought Denver Broncos jerseys for themselves and their dog that they wore on game days.

“She wanted to choreograph music videos. That is the only reason she did the internet thing — to get a little exposure,” said Mr McAllister.

They broke up in September after she started posing for nude photos.
