A man suspected of killing a Kansas college student who led a secret life as an Internet porn model is being held on a $3 million bond in Kansas following his extradition from Mexico. Israel Mireles, 26, made his first court appearance Friday before Butler County District Judge David Ricke in El Dorado. Mireles was extradited back from Mexico Thursday by U.S. Marshals. He is charged with capital murder, rape and aggravated criminal sodomy in the 2007 death of 18-year-old Emily Sander. The disappearance of the Butler Community College student drew nationwide attention after the discovery that she also was an Internet pornography model who went by the name Zoey Zane. Butler County Attorney Jan Satterfield asked the judge to raise Mireles bond to $3 million, noting he had fled to Mexico after Sander's slaying. Satterfield also told the court that while Mireles was in jail in Mexico City, he told a friend he had planned an escape by faking a serious illness and then escaping when he was taken to a hospital. His preliminary hearing was set for July 8, though prosecutors said that date would likely be continued. Mireles said he planned to hire his own lawyer, but the judge for now appointed the Death Penalty Defense Unit in Topeka to handle his case. Read more. |
