Phoenix police on Tuesday announced the arrest of a California sex industry mogul in connection to a murder-for-hire case after following up on a tip from an informant tied to the Desert Divas prostitution investigation.David Elms, 37, could face charges of conspiracy to commit murder and additional felonies after his Sunday arrest shortly after he arrived in the Valley from California.
Elms, who was booked at a Maricopa County jail, is accused of contracting a hit man to murder a 32-year-old woman, according to police.
Police added that Elms ordered a 62-year-old man to be seriously injured as part of the contract.
"Obviously with a murder-for-hire case you have to get on it right away," Phoenix Sgt. Andy Hill said.
A fellow sex industry leader described Elms as the "most influential man in the prostitution business in America" in a June story in The New York Times, which detailed his California-based business, The Erotic Review, as a sort of online order form for prostitutes.
