María José Alvarado, the Miss World Honduras
winner who went missing days before the Miss
World pageant, was found dead along with her
sister.
Honduras National Police Chief Ramon
Sabillon told CNN that there is a 95% certainty
that the bodies found are those of the two
women.
Alvarado went missing last Thursday after
attending her sister’s boyfriend’s party in Santa
Barbara, Honduras.
Director of the pageant in Honduras, Mr
Eduardo Zablah told CNN that she and her
sister were last seen getting into a vehicle after
attending a party last week.
Alvarado had been among the contestants
from more than 120 countries who’d been set
to start arriving in London this week for early
rounds of the Miss World pageant. The final
round is scheduled for December 14.
She beat 18 contestants to win the Miss World
Honduras crown in April.
