A Honduran beauty queen has disappeared days
before the start of the Miss World pageant.
Investigators are searching for Miss Honduras
World, María José Alvarado Muñoz, and her
sister, who went missing on Thursday, police in
the Central American country said Sunday.
Family members reported their disappearance on
Saturday, police said.
Eduardo Zablah, director of the pageant in
Honduras, told CNN affiliate Televicentro that
the sisters were last seen getting into a vehicle
after attending a party last week.
Contestants from more than 120 countries are
scheduled to start arriving in London this week
for early rounds of the Miss World pageant.
They’ll face off in a final round on December 14.
Alvarado, a 19-year-old student from Santa
Bárbara, Honduras, describes herself as an
aspiring diplomat who enjoys playing volleyball
and soccer in her spare time, according to a
profile of her on the pageant’s website.
She beat 18 contestants to win the Miss World
Honduras crown in April.
