Grisly New Details in Model Murder

As the manhunt for reality-TV contestant Ryan Alexander Jenkins crosses the border into Canada, police have released grisly new details on the murder of his wife swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore. Her naked body was found in a rubbish bin packed in a suitcase in Los Angeles on Saturday. In an apparent attempt to conceal Fiore’s identity, “The victim had been badly beaten, all of her fingers had been cut off, and all of her teeth had been forcibly removed,” said a statement from the California prosecutors.

Jenkins, 32, has been missing since the body was discovered Saturday, apparently slipped into Canada after driving and power-boating more than 1,000 miles from southern California after the corpse of his 28-year-old girlfriend, Fiore, was discovered. Police warn that he may be armed. Jasmine had been last seen on the Friday night at a poker night in San Diego with Ryan. Jenkins, reportedly flew into a jealous rage when Fiore spent too much time in a hotel bathroom talking on her cell phone at the event. Jenkins allegedly married Fiore in Las Vegas after meeting her at a strip club where she was a dancer, shortly after he was booted from VH1 reality show Megan Wants a Millionaire, where men with a net worth of at least $1 million vie to win a woman seeking to become a “trophy wife”. He is variously described as an architect, property developer and investment banker. Fiore’s mother says the pair married in March but had a “big blowout” in May.
