"Porn Star" Zoey Zane
You may have heard the news of the death of a young Kansas woman named Emily Sander. Emily was last seen alive leaving a bar with a man named Israel Mireles (pic below).
Emily's body was later found. Investigators also found "a large amount" of blood in Mireles' hotel room. There were also reports of an altercation taking place in his hotel room on the night of Emily's disappearance. Apparently, Mireles has a criminal record, although the details are sketchy. Mireles' rental car was later found abandoned in Vernon, Texas. Authorities suspect he may be heading to Mexico.
If that was the end of the story, the name "Emily Sander" would've likely been just another name on the police blotter. In the course of the investigation of Emily's disappearance, however, investigators discovered that Emily had been moonlighting as a nude model under the pseudonym "Zoey Zane." There are pictures out there, but I'm not going to link them (yes, even an unrepentant whore has ethics now and then).
True to form, the news media has been "sexing up" Emily's story by reporting on Emily's "secret life" as a "porn star." To most people, the term "porn star" conjures up images of a woman making wild sex videos with random dudes for money. Now, it may not matter to most people whether the world remembers Emily Sander as a girl who made wild sex videos with random dudes for money, but I'll wager it matters to her friends and family. By all accounts, Emily Sander was a young girl who posed for some nude photos. To a lot of folks, there's a difference between posing for nude photos and being a "porn star."
