WHITEMARSH TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Montgomery County, Pa., district attorney Bruce Castor told reporters Wednesday morning that his office won't rule out that porn actress Taylor Sumers died during the making of an apparent snuff film in Conshohocken.
Castor's office has charged a Montgomery County photographer with the death of the 23-year-old Canadian porn actress, who was missing for nearly a month.
Castor said Anthony Frederick of Eagleville, Pa., was arrested about midnight Tuesday night and charged with first- and third-degree murder, possession of an instrument of crime, unsworn falsification to authorities, and abuse of a corpse.
Authorities said Frederick was last seen with the actress and model, born Natel King, on Feb. 29.
Castor said that based on evidence presented in an affidavit, he wouldn't discount that Sumers' death was caught on camera.
"The murder took place as part of a sexual bondage fantasy," Castor said. He also said that Sumers may have been at a "snuff shoot" where a person's death is simulated on film.
According to the affidavit, which was obtained by NBC 10, in Philadelphia, Sumers' body was found with a bondage ball in her mouth and bondage gear on her person.
The document said the police believed they found photographs taken by Frederick of Sumers wearing similar gear.
Police also said they found bondage equipment at Frederick's Conshohocken studio.
Castor said that her body, which was found Tuesday in Whitemarsh Township, was identified from a tattoo and birthmarks.
Summers had gone to Conshohocken for a late February photo shoot. Her car was found parked on a local street a few days later.
Her naked, decomposing body was found Tuesday in a ravine near the Schuylkill River, about 30 feet from a road in Whitemarsh Township.
Castor said Frederick had taken about 20 photos of King with another woman, Jennifer Mitkus, who allegedly is Frederick's assistant.
Mitkus has also been charged with unsworn falsification and hindering apprehension.

Friends and family of Natel King react
Philadelphia- An NBC-TV 10 news crew spoke with Natel King's father Thursday afternoon. King's family lives in Ontario, Canada. King, 23, who was known in the adult film world as Taylor Sumers, was found dead Tuesday in Whitemarsh Township after she was reported missing on Feb. 29 after a photo shoot at Frederick's studio in Conshohocken.
"My daughter comes from a normal family, (with a) mother, father, sister. She was attending the university, second-year psychology," Daniel King said. King said his daughter did some adult modeling to help put herself through college. He said that's why Natel got in touch with the photographer.
"When it comes time for court, he knows what he did and didn't do. I can't say for sure, there is a lot of evidence pointing to him," Daniel King said.
An adult industry friend of Natel King's also spoke.
"It had to be a murder, it is so brutal," said actress Stacey Sinn. "It's appalling."
Sinn is mourning the death of her former co-worker and friend.
"She was a very, very wonderful girl," Sinn said.
Police said Anthony Frederick had bondage equipment in his studio that matched the equipment at the murder scene in Whitemarsh Township.
In Frederick's basement in Eagleville, a chilling poem found by police read: "Cut with a knife, blood does flow. You may bleed out, death coming on slow."
