(Newser) – A missing Kansas college student apparently led a secret life as an internet porn star, according to police who suspect foul play in her disappearance. Emily Sander, 18, disappeared last week after leaving a bar outside Wichita with a man whose motel room was later found trashed and covered in blood. Sander's brother told police that his sister ran a pornographic web site featuring nude pictures of herself under the name Zoey Zane.

The site has been disabled, presumably while detectives investigate. Sander had recently signed a contract related to the site and told her parents about it on Thanksgiving. "She's a young teenage girl and she wanted to be in the movies. She needed the extra money," said a friend.
