A missing college student named Emily Sander led a double life as an online pornstar named Zoey Zane, according to reports from El Dorado, Kansas.
She enjoyed it. She is a young teenage girl and she wanted to be in the movies and enjoyed movies. She needed the extra money," Nikki Watson, a close friend of Sander's at Butler Community College, tells the Associated Press. "Nobody in El Dorado knew besides her close friends."
Sander, 18, was last seen Friday in the company of Israel Mireles. Police across the country are searching for the 24-year-old and his 16-year-old girlfriend. Investigators say he may be on his way to Mexico.
Detectives tell The Wichita Eagle that they found blood in a motel room that Mireles rented outside Wichita. They're aware of the website "situation" and are trying to figure out if it factors into Sander's disappearance, the paper says.
"That motel room was found to appear in great disarray and a large quantity of blood was found in the room and clothing was found to be missing," police Chief Tom Boren says, according to KSN-TV.
Sander's grandfather spoke about the missing teen yesterday during a police news conference. Last night, KAKE-TV says about 50 people participated in a candlelight vigil.
The AP says Jacob Sander confirmed that his sister appeared on the pornographic website as Zoey Zane. That website, which was first registered last April, is no longer functioning. A cached version on Google shows that "Zoey Zane" appeared in nude photos and wrote an explicit online journal. Here's how she described herself on the homepage: All About Me! Hey all! I'm a spunky little teen with a super sexy side! As soon as I turned 18 I started shooting for my site. I love getting down 'n dirty in front of the camera...!!
This is a family newspaper, so we can't link to the Zoey Zane website. If you really need to know more about it, try a Google search. Mienfoks says it has some of the site's tamer photos.
