Police: Body is porn-star student's
The Associated Press

Emily Sander, 18, disappeared a week ago.
EL DORADO, Kan. — A body found in Kansas appears to be that of a college student who led a secret life as an Internet porn star, police said Thursday.
Authorities said the preliminary physical description of the body found about 50 miles east of El Dorado matches that of college student Emily Sander, 18.
Investigators refused to give details about the state of the body or how it was found.
Sander's disappearance drew wide attention after it was revealed that she appeared nude on a popular adult Web site under the name Zoey Zane.
Police Chief Tom Boren insisted Thursday that Sander's Internet activity had no connection to her disappearance.
He said an autopsy was planned.
Sander was last seen leaving an El Dorado bar Friday with a man who has been the focus of a nationwide search since police found large quantities of blood in a Kansas motel room where he was staying. El Dorado is about 30 miles from Wichita.
Sander, who attended Butler Community College, left the bar with Israel Mireles, 24. Authorities are looking for him and his 16-year-old pregnant girlfriend.
Police said for the first time Thursday that Mireles is a suspect in Sander's disappearance. Before, police had called Mireles a "person of interest."
The rental car Mireles was driving was found abandoned Tuesday in Vernon, Texas, where he has relatives. Investigators interviewed family members and planned to bring the vehicle back to Kansas for processing.
Material from The Wichita Eagle is included in this report.
