EL DORADO, Kansas, Nov. 26, 2007 -- An 18-year-old Butler County Community College student has been missing since late Friday night. Police now say they do suspect foul play.

A bar on the east side of El Dorado was the last place anyone saw Emily Sander. Police say, just before midnight on Friday, Sander was seen with 24-year-old Isreal Moreles. Now sander is missing and police believe Moreles has left the state.

"Foul play is suspected and we are asking for the public's assistance in locating Emily," said Captain Justin Philips, El Dorado Police Department.

And that is all police are saying.

They are staying tight-lipped about whether Sander left the Retreat bar willingly with Moreles and just why they suspect foul play.

"There are certain things that we are not going to comment on that have come to light in the investigation."

Police say they are investigating several areas of El Dorado in relation to Sander's disappearance, and while they won't tell us exactly where those areas are, they do say the 18-year-old's car was found at The Retreat.

While police process the car for clues they are turning they're attention to Isreal Moreles. Police believe the 24-year-old is on the run with his 16-year-old girlfriend.

The two have ties in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Police say they are driving a green 2007 Ford Taurus with Kansas tag XUJ 487.

Police believe Moreles and his girlfriend may very well know the whereabouts of Emily Sander.

"Time is always critical. There is always that potential of losing evidence that may have been lost the longer we sit here and wait."

If you know anything about the disappearance of Emily Sander or the whereabouts of Israel Morales, please call 1-800-KS-CRIME.

Bedspread Clue in Kansas Teen's Disappearance
Rental Car Used by Suspect in Emily Sander's Case Is Recovered in Texas

Nov. 28, 2007
Kansas authorities released an image Tuesday night of a bedspread they say may help in the search for Emily Sander, an 18-year-old last seen Friday night leaving a bar with a man now wanted by police for questioning in the teen's disappearance.

"All we're saying is, we're looking for that bedspread and it's something we'd like to find," Capt. Justin Phillips of the El Dorado, Kansas, police department told ABC News.

Tuesday night, authorities in Vernon, Texas, about 350 miles south of El Dorado, discovered a rental car used by Israel Mireles, 24. According to eyewitnesses, Mireles and Sander left the Retreat Bar in El Dorado together Friday night.

The floral bedspread police are looking for may be linked to the El Dorado motel where Mireles was temporarily living. An altercation took place in his motel room either late Friday or early Saturday that may have involved Sander. Motel managers notified El Dorado police, who since have treated Mireles' room as a crime scene.

"We have found some evidence that Emily may have been the victim of a violent crime," Phillips said Tuesday. "They are still processing that and have been for the last two days."

Mireles, along with his 16-year-old pregnant girlfriend, Victoria Martens, has not been seen since, though investigators don't believe Sander is traveling with them. Phillips said Tuesday that Mireles and Martens might be making a run for the border.

"We have some indication that they are attempting to cross into Mexico," he said. Mireles has family in Vernon.

Several people reported seeing Mireles, who has a "minor" criminal record, and Sander spending time together and then leaving the bar Friday night, but Phillips would not say whether she left with him voluntarily. Sander's car was found parked at the bar Saturday.

Authorities said they don't believe Martens was in the hotel room with Mireles and Sander when their altercation took place.

At a televised news conference Monday afternoon, Sander's grandfather Clement Sander appealed to the public for help in finding his granddaughter, a student at Butler Community College.

"She was a sweet little girl, and she's done real good in school," Clement said. "She had a lot of friends and was easy to get along with."

"Help us find Emily," he said. "We need closure on this one way or another."

Missing porn star
Missing Kansas college student led a double life as an Internet porn star, friend says
 
Posted: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 at 3:59 p.m.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A missing Kansas college student believed to be the victim of foul play led a double life as an Internet porn star by the name of Zoey Zane, a friend told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

A young woman resembling 18-year-old Emily Sander appears nude in photos posted on a Zoey Zane Web site.

"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," said Nikki Watson, a close friend of Sander's at Butler County Community College. "Nobody in El Dorado knew besides her close friends."

Police in El Dorado, where Sander was last seen on Friday, said they are aware of the Web site. But police investigator Chad Young would not confirm whether Sander is Zoey Zane and would not say whether the site was connected in any way to her disappearance.

Sander was last seen leaving a bar in El Dorado, about 30 miles from Wichita, with a man identified by police as Israel Mireles, 24, authorities said. Sander and Mireles met that night at the bar, according to Watson.

Joe Terziu, owner of Bella Casa Italian Restaurant, where Mireles worked, told The Wichita Eagle that he saw blood on a bed and carpet in the motel room where Mireles had been staying. Police have not confirmed the account.

A nationwide manhunt was under way for Mireles and his 16-year-old girlfriend. A rental car he had been driving turned up Tuesday in Texas.

Sanders recently signed a contract for the pornographic work on the Web site, and told her parents about it on Thanksgiving, Watson said. Her boyfriend broke up with her because he did not approve, Watson said.

On the Web site, she appears in various states of undress in a cowgirl costume and a jungle-print bikini.

guess they need to question the boyfriend that broke up with her.  It is sad that she chose this line of work to make extra money.... :sad:

 MISSING GIRL A 'PORN STAR'; KANSAS CO-ED'S FAMILY STUNNED
 
An 18-year-old college student who led a double-life as an Internet porn star is missing and believed to have been the victim of foul play, authorities said.

Emily Sander, of El Dorado, Kan., went by the name Zoey Zane on a Web site featuring her in various compromising positions.

On her site, she describes herself as "a spunky little teen with a super sexy side," saying "as soon as I turned 18, I started shooting for my site."

Authorities are investigating whether it had anything to do with her disappearance last Friday.

"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," said Nikki Watson, a close friend of Sander's at Butler Community College.

"Nobody in El Dorado knew besides her close friends."

El Dorado Police Chief Tom Boren said FBI and state experts on Internet crime have been called in.

"Investigators are aware that Miss Sander was apparently involved in a Web-site situation," said Boren. "Allegations that this may factor into her disappearance are being thoroughly investigated."

The teen was last seen leaving a local bar with a man police identified as Israel Mireles, 24, whom she had just met that night according to Watson.

When Mireles did not show up Saturday at his job at an Italian restaurant, his boss went to the motel where he was staying.

"His motel room was found to appear in great disarray and a large quantity of blood was found in the room," said Boren.

A nationwide manhunt is now under way for Mireles and his 16-year-old girlfriend — a rental car he had been driving turned up Tuesday in Texas, where he has family.

Sander recently signed a contract for the pornographic work on the Web site, and told her parents about it on Thanksgiving, Watson said. Her boyfriend then broke up with her because he did not approve, she said.

Sander's grandmother, Shirley Sander, was shocked.

"What you are telling me now is things we have never been told or heard. I don't know what to say. We have never heard anything like this and truthfully I don't believe it," she said.

The brown-haired, blue-eyed Sander was last seen wearing low-rider jeans and a "Don't Mess With Texas" T-shirt. She has tattoos and body piercings.

Gosh how awful. This girl sounds like she was mixed up in a lifestyle that was very dangerous. At 18, kids never think bad things can happen to them. I guess she didn't realize it either. Poor kid.

I feel for her family. They've had an extra blow, in finding out about her web site.

Body Appears to Be Missing Kan. Student
 

Nov 29, 5:53 PM (ET)

EL DORADO, Kan. (AP) - A body found in Kansas appears to be that of a missing 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 missing college student Emily Sander. Investigators refused to give details about the state of the body or how it was found.

Police Chief Tom Boren said the cause of death was not yet known. An autopsy is planned.

Sander, 18, 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.

 
 
Prior to finding the body, investigators said they had not found a link between Sander and her activities as an online porn star named Zoey Zane. But publicity about her explicit photos brought a flood of tips, many of them false leads.

"No tips were generated from it," Boren said.

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.

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.

"We feel they know where he is at, but they haven't shared that with us," Boren said.

On Thursday, searchers on foot and all-terrain vehicles were checking the tall grass along each side of Highway 54 near Neal, Kan., as they traced the route Mireles may have taken Saturday on the way to Baxter Springs to pick up his girlfriend.

So far searches using dogs, planes, underwater equipment and divers at the Walnut River dam have yielded no new evidence.

"We have about exhausted a lot of the resources we have until we can focus on a particular area," Boren said.

Dozens of people gathered Wednesday in El Dorado for a candlelight vigil for Sander. The turnout moved her grandfather, Clement Sander, who said Emily Sander's disappearance shows tragedy can suddenly strike anyone.

"All I can say to you young folks out there is be careful," he said. "It is a cruel world."

Emily Sander Case Now a Homicide Investigation

Updated: Nov 29, 2007 06:06 PM EST

Authorities in El Dorado say a body found 50 miles east of town matches the description of Emily Sander. For that reason, police are now calling her disappearance a homicide.

SORRY....I had many windows open at once and copied this twice instead of copying the Mexico one too... :2doh:

Dec 1, 2007 2:04 PM (2 days ago) AP
WICHITA, Kan. (Map, News) - Police on Saturday identified the body they found Thursday as that of missing Butler County college student Emily Sander.

Police found the body Thursday and said at the time that it appeared to match Sander's descritpion. Saturday's identification by a forensic orthodontist confirmed that.

The body was released to Sander's family after forensic examinations and an autopsy. The results of that examination and the cause of death were sealed by the county attorney's office, and police would not release details about the cause of death.

Police also said Saturday they were re-intervieiwng witnesses, family and associates of suspect Israel Mireles, 24 and his 16-year-old girlfriend, Victoria Marten. They said his whereabouts were still unknown, but they believed Marten was still with him.

If Mireles fled to Mexico it would pose special legal challenges for efforts to prosecute him, officials said.

Sander, 18, disappeared late Nov. 23 after leaving a bar with Mireles outside El Dorado. A body matching Sander's description was found Thursday. Police now say Mireles is a suspect in Sander's disappearance.

If Mireles went to Mexico, where he was born and has relatives, local authorities would have to compile especially detailed warrants and translate them into Spanish, El Dorado Police Chief Tom Boren said.

Mireles, who had been in the United States legally, moved to El Dorado from Hays.

El Dorado officials would have to use the foreign extradition process to bring back Israel Mireles, 24, said Butler County Attorney Jan Satterfield, whose office would prosecute him.

"It's a whole lot more complicated" than a case totally within a U.S. jurisdiction, Satterfield said.

If the crime qualifies for the state's death penalty and Mireles is charged that way, authorities could be legally blocked by Mexico, Boren said.

Mexico would require that authorities submit the most serious charges that Mireles would face, and Mexico would not allow someone born there to be extradited to face capital charges, Boren said.

"They would have to be assured that the death penalty won't be sought."

No homicide charges had been filed as of Friday night, Satterfield said.

Boren said his understanding is that U.S. marshals could go into Mexico to pursue Mireles only at the invitation of Mexican authorities.

If U.S. authorities don't follow the protocols, they risk creating an international incident, Boren and Satterfield said.

"And, of course, that would jeopardize any possible prosecution," Boren said.

On Friday, an autopsy was conducted on the body found Thursday about 50 miles east of El Dorado.

Close to the body, along U.S. 54 near the Woodson County town of Toronto, investigators found the bedspread that had been missing from Mireles' El Dorado motel room, Boren said. Investigators found a large amount of blood in the room.

Although authorities and Sander's family members have concluded that it is her body, no official identification can be made until dental records from out of state arrive, Boren said Friday in an e-mailed statement. Sander had previously lived in Texas and has relatives there.

A positive identification could happen Monday, Boren said.

Sander's grandfather, Clem Sander of El Dorado, said Friday afternoon that relatives have begun preparing funeral arrangements, but details weren't settled.

Meanwhile, authorities remain concerned that Mireles hasn't been located and that his 16-year-old girlfriend apparently is with him. The 16-year-old is seven months pregnant.

Investigators think the girlfriend remains with Mireles "on her own volition, but investigators fear for her continued welfare, as well as that of her unborn child," Boren's statement said.

The Wichita Eagle (Kansas)
December 13, 2007 Thursday 
 
(Emily) Sander suspect faces new charges
 Dec. 13--The suspect in the death of an 18-year-old El Dorado woman has been charged with a felony sex crime against a missing and pregnant Hays teenager thought to be traveling with him.

The missing teen's grandmother told The Eagle on Wednesday that she worries about the health of her 16-year-old granddaughter, Victoria Martens, and doesn't want the public to forget about her.

Authorities think Martens, now in the eighth month of her pregnancy, has been accompanying Israel "Izzy" Mireles. In El Dorado, Mireles has been named as a suspect in the death of Butler Community College student Emily Sander.

Martens' grandmother also told The Eagle that investigators found possible evidence -- including a blouse with what looked like blood spots -- in her trash container Nov. 24 after Mireles and Martens left her Baxter Springs home on their way to Texas.

Mireles, 24, was charged Nov. 30 in Hays with aggravated indecent liberties with a child, says a document filed in Ellis County District Court.

A felony warrant alleges that Mireles had intercourse with Martens when she was under 16, Ellis County Attorney Tom Drees said Wednesday.

Mireles allegedly is the father of Martens' unborn child, Drees said.

The Ellis County charge alleges that the sex crime occurred around May 7, 2007. Martens turned 16 on Sept. 23, 2007, according to the Web site listing for her by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The Web site says Martens and Mireles could travel to Mexico, where he was born and has relatives.

"Victoria may be in need of medical attention," says the center's listing, which includes photographs of her and Mireles.

Martens' grandmother, Sue Martens of Baxter Springs, said her granddaughter is expected to give birth at the end of January.

She said she worries about whether her granddaughter has been to a doctor.

Her granddaughter had told her that Mireles had treated her well, she said. Partly because of that, she said, "I have faith that he's keeping her safe, wherever they're at."

Still, she said, "We want her found. We don't want people to forget."

Last week, Martens' mother, Sandy Martens of Hays, issued a plea for her daughter to let her know she is safe. On Wednesday, Sandy Martens again asked that her daughter "contact anybody to let us know she's OK."

She last talked to her daughter by phone Nov. 25, the day after the teen left with Mireles, bound for Texas.

Sue Martens said her granddaughter has looked forward to being a mother and has become more mature.

"She's proud of that belly," Sue Martens said, sobbing at times during a telephone interview Wednesday.

She said her daughter and granddaughter spent the Thanksgiving holiday with her in Baxter Springs.

The expectant mother ate a lot of her grandmother's homemade pumpkin pie.

Sue Martens said she didn't approve of her granddaughter's involvement with Mireles because her granddaughter is so young and he is eight years older.

"But she was crazy for him," she said.

Sue Martens said she ignored Mireles when he came to her home to pick up her granddaughter before leaving for Vernon, Texas, where he has relatives.

Investigators found Mireles' rented Taurus abandoned in Vernon.

The couple left Baxter Springs on Nov. 24. Late that night, investigators found items at the bottom of her trash container, Sue Martens said. She said she saw what looked like a leather knife sheath, car keys and a new white blouse still bearing tags.

The blouse appeared to have blood spots on it, she said.

El Dorado police have said that Sander went missing the night of Nov. 23 after being seen with Mireles leaving a bar, the Retreat, just east of El Dorado. The next day, police said, they found a lot of blood in Mireles' El Dorado motel room, where he had been staying while working as a waiter at a restaurant next to the motel.

On Nov. 29, investigators found Sander's body and a missing bedspread from the motel room along U.S. 54, about 50 miles east of El Dorado.

Although authorities have called Mireles a suspect in Sander's death, they have not commented on whether he faces charges in her death, nor have they disclosed results of an autopsy.

Authorities have been referring questions to the Kansas attorney general's office, which has taken a lead role in the homicide investigation and any potential prosecution. On Wednesday, Ashley Anstaett, the attorney general's spokeswoman, declined to comment.

I hope this girl can get to a hospital when the time comes to deliver the baby. She is really in a vulnerable position - young, pregnant and on the run. I worry about what will happen to her and the newborn baby if she isn't found before she has her baby. And she obviously isn't getting medical care, so that could be an issue as well.
What a sad way for a baby to enter the world.

Emily Sander’s killer caught in Mexico Dec.20, 2007
EL DORADO, Kan. - A man suspected in the slaying of a college student who led a secret life as an Internet porn performer was arrested Wednesday in Mexico, authorities said.

Israel Mireles, 24, was arrested on a Butler County homicide warrant in Melchor Muzquiz, Mexico, southwest of Texas. He was being held there pending extradition, U.S. Deputy Marshal Logan Kline said.

Mireles has been charged with capital murder, rape and aggravated criminal sodomy in the death of 18-year-old Emily Sander, Butler County prosecutor Jan Satterfield said.

Sander was last seen alive on Nov. 23 when she left an El Dorado bar with a man police identified as Mireles. The disappearance of the Butler Community College student drew nationwide attention after the discovery that she also led a secret life as an Internet pornography model named Zoey Zane.
Her body was found six days later, about 50 miles east of El Dorado, as police traced the route they believed Mireles took to pick up his 16-year-old girlfriend, Victoria Martens, in Baxter Springs.

Kansas authorities received tips about Mireles' whereabouts in Mexico from several sources, and their Mexican counterparts had been monitoring his movements since at least Dec. 3, when he was charged in Butler County, she said.

Mexican authorities held off on arresting Mireles until they were assured of the legitimacy of Kansas prosecutors' case, Satterfield said.

Satterfield said her office had to promise Mexican authorities that it would not seek the death penalty for Mireles. If convicted of capital murder, he would face life in prison without the possibility of parole, she said.

U.S. Marshal Troy Oberly said Martens, who is eight months pregnant, was found unharmed in Mexico but has refused to return to Kansas. Satterfield said prosecutors don't plan to file charges against her.

"It doesn't sound likes she wants to return to the U.S. Our main concern was that she was alive and safe," Oberly said.

Mireles became the focus of the investigation after police found large quantities of blood in an El Dorado motel room where he had been staying. Authorities have said that a bedspread that was missing from that motel room was found close to Sander's body.

Police have not released details about the cause of Sander's death, but say her Internet activity had no connection to her disappearance.

Mireles was born in Mexico, where he still has relatives, and has been living in the U.S. legally. A rental car he was driving was found Nov. 27 in Texas, where he also has relatives.

Man accused of killing El Dorado teen in court for hearing
(http://ksnw.img.entriq.net/img/dp_thumbs/thumb_1250616875100_0p01495250214712257.jpg)

BUTLER COUNTY, Kansas – The man accused of killing an El Dorado teen is in Butler County Court Tuesday to find out if he will go to trial for murder.

A judge is hearing testimony to decide if there’s enough evidence against Israel Mireles to send him to trial for the November 2007 murder of Butler County College student Emily Sander.

Prosecution spent much of the morning focusing on Friday, November 23, 2007. That’s the last night, they say, Emily Sander was alive.

Mireles sat stoically as witnesses, including an emotional friend of Emily’s, identified Mireles as the man who left the Retreat Bar with Emily that Friday night.

Authorities allege he then took her to his motel room across the street where he raped and murdered her.

Tommy Juarez, a bouncer at the Retreat Bar, also remembers seeing Mireles leave the bar with Emily. Juarez says as Emily left she said she would be right back, but he never saw her return.

Emily’s body was found outside of El Dorado several days later. Mireles then fled to Mexico and was brought back to Kansas just two months ago to face prosecution.

The preliminary hearing is expected to last for much of the day Tuesday. A judge will then determine if there is enough evidence to send Mireles to trial.

Witness tells of night out before porn model death
By ROXANA HEGEMAN (AP) – 1 hour ago

EL DORADO, Kan. — A Kansas college student who led a secret life as an Internet porn model spent the evening she disappeared with her friends at various bars, where she was seen kissing and then leaving with the man accused of killing her, witnesses testified Tuesday.

Prosecutors portrayed a night of underage drinking that ended with the death of 18-year-old Emily Sander in a blood-splattered motel room as they laid out their case against 26-year-old Israel Mireles. His defense attorneys probed details of witness testimony at the preliminary hearing but offered no hint of their strategy.

Mireles, who was extradited from Mexico in June, is charged with capital murder, rape and aggravated criminal sodomy. If the judge finds sufficient probable cause to take the case to trial, Mireles would then enter a plea to the charges and a trial date will be set.

The search for Sander got national attention after it was revealed that she led a secret life as an Internet pornography model who went by the name Zoey Zane.

Sander was last seen alive on Nov. 23, 2007. She was smiling as she left the bar with Mireles, the doorman there testified.

"She seemed happy. ... She just said she would be back. She seemed all right," said Tommy Juarez, the doorman who checked identifications at the bar that night.

Aurelia Resa, a classmate of Sander at Butler Community College, testified that she saw Sander at the bar that night and tearfully identified Mireles in court as the man with whom Sander had left the bar.

On cross-examination, Resa acknowledged Sander had told her she had a Web site — an apparent reference to Sander's porn site — that was set up so people in El Dorado could not access it. She said Sander told her it could be accessed by using a proxy server to get around the block. But Resa said she was reluctant to talk to investigators about the site.

"I cut the conversation off short because I didn't feel it was anybody's business," Resa said.

Misty Walton, an acquaintance of Sander, testified that she had gone to several bars with Sander that night and witnessed Mireles kissing her. Walton said she left the bar herself after Mireles kept asking her to go back to a hotel with him.

"I started getting uncomfortable with him repeatedly asking me to leave with him," she said.

Indravadan Patel, the owner of the motel where Mireles was staying, testified that he entered the room after discovering a torn screen and broken window. He said he found "a lot of blood" on the carpet, bed and walls.

That prompted the search for Sander, whose body was found six days later, about 50 miles east of El Dorado. Searchers had traced the route they believed Mireles took to pick up his then-pregnant, 16-year-old girlfriend at her grandmother's house before he fled to Mexico.

Mireles was arrested in December 2007 at the home of a relative in Mexico and fought his extradition. Prosecutors had to promise Mexican authorities they would not seek the death penalty for him in order for them to approve the extradition.

If convicted of capital murder, he would face life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Kan. jury convicts man in porn model's death
last updated: February 12, 2010 03:06:13 PM

EL DORADO, Kan.
A jury convicted a man of capital murder and rape Friday in the killing of a Kansas college student who led a secret life as an Internet porn model.

Jurors deliberated just more than an hour before convicting Israel Mireles, 26, in the death of Emily Sander. The 18-year-old Butler Community College student's disappearance received national attention after it was revealed she also was known as Internet model Zoey Zane.

An aggravated sodomy count was dropped by Butler County District Judge David Ricke, who said it was part of the capital murder charge.

Family and friends of Sander cried after the verdicts were read. Mireles showed no reaction as he was led out of the courtroom.

Mireles testified Friday that he left a so-called mystery man in a motel room where he'd gone with Sander after a night of underage drinking, and found her dead when he returned. He said he went on the run because he figured authorities would blame him for her death.

Mireles was arrested December 2007 in Mexico. Prosecutors had to promise Mexican authorities they would not seek the death penalty before his extradition was approved. He faces life in prison without parole when sentenced March 31.

Witnesses testified Sander left a southeast Kansas bar with Mireles the night of Nov. 23, 2007. Her battered, nude body was found six days later about 50 miles away.

Public defender Melanie Freeman-Johnson has said another man came into the motel room where the two went and became violent after a drug deal went sour. She argued in her closing that police settled on the convenient suspect.

Mireles testified Friday that he and Sander went to the motel, had sex and drank beer. He said he fought with the other man about the drugs and left the motel.

When Mireles returned, he said he saw Sander's body, gathered his belongings and her body then fled. He said he wanted to get to his family and his pregnant girlfriend, Victoria Martens. He said he didn't know why he didn't call police.

"I was scared," he said. "I figured the first person they'd blame would be me."

He also said he didn't know why he wrapped her body in a blanket and put it in the car. On his way to see his girlfriend in Baxter Springs, Mireles dumped Sander's body near the side of the road.

Mireles and Martens then drove to Texas and on to Mexico.

Authorities later found Sander's blood on a knife and clothes in a trash bin at Marten's grandmother's house in Baxter Springs.

On Friday, Kansas Attorney General Steve Six tried to cast doubt on Mireles, questioning why would he take Sander's body with him, then dump the body and bring the knife to Baxter Springs.

At one point, Six incredulously asked Mireles: "Does that make any sense to you?"

Mireles replied, "None of this makes any sense to me."

This is just another Illegal alien that came into our country and raped and murdered.
This happens all the time.

Most of the time they kidnap rape and murder and run for the border.
Then they come back and do it again.
If caught and convicted they are usually deported and come back and do it again and again.

Many of our missing girls and boys could have met with the same ending.

This girl and her friends were involved in On line Porn not just modeling.
She was already out in left field when she became Victim.
This is what is really sad..
Her pictures and videos are still out there and being sold for a profit.. That is the reality of the situation.
She will always be a victim now. By her own choice.
jmho

Sadly, I have to agree.

Even worse is this...

This Young girl may have been set up to be given to a drug dealer for trade against drug money owed.

The prosecutor may have done exactly what the defense attorney claimed and fried the easy culprit.

Which leaves the real Murderer loose to do it again.. I guarantee you the Other guy was a Illegal also. He would be inside of Mexico quick after the murder of the girl.

The prosecutor may have done ALL of us a Great Disservice and now somebody else will die for the prosecutors laziness.

I wonder what Semen DNA was found in her body.. One or more persons..

I do not trust the political nature of Prosecutor's in our nation.
