Rumors are swirling throughout Europe that Nina Fabioli, noted International fashion model and actress, may have been among those believed to have perished in the crash of New Zealand Midlakes Airline flight 225 In New Zealand two days ago. Ms. Fabioli was rumored to be traveling to New Zealand for a magazine photo shoot. Fabioli, winner of a 1995 Silver Star award as best film actress is considered as one of the world top fashion models and has been featured on nearly all major fashion magazine covers. In March of this year, Fabioli signed an exclusive five year with Adscape Consulting (a part of the Adscape Internet Publishing family) that made her the highest paid model/entertainer in Italy.

A spokesman for the Fabioli family has refused any comment on the possibility she was involved in the crash but members of the family have been in contact with the New Zealand Air Transit Authority and are scheduled to fly to New Zealand tonight.

Although search efforts are continuing, it is presumed that all 125 people on board (117 passengers and an eight person flight crew) were killed on impact. The flight originated in Chicago, Illinois in the United States and made a stopover in London, England before heading to New Zealand. The crew was based in London and was making their first flight of the day. The NZAT has not yet been able to locate the Cockpit Voice Recorder

Fabioli is one of the most noted women in the International circles. She developed an enormous fan following across the world and especially in the United States. Her most adamant fans are young women who view her as a pioneer, unafraid to express herself and viewed by many as bold, unpredictable and dangerous. She recently announced that she was going to stretch her talents by appearing in an Italian opera next year and was also planning to make the rounds appearing on American television broadcasts in October.

Adscape Internet Publishing has scheduled a press conference for 2:30 PM, local time to discuss the Ms. Fabioli and the crash.
