Slain Swimsuit Model Was Missing Fingers and Teeth, Authorities Say

Police believe that Ryan Alexander Jenkins killed Jasmine Fiore and fled to Canada, where a manhunt is underway. Her body was found Aug. 15 in a suitcase in a trash bin in Buena Park.

A reality TV show contestant allegedly removed the fingers and teeth of the swimsuit model he killed before putting her in a suitcase and dumping her in a Buena Park trash bin, authorities said Thursday as they issued an arrest warrant for the suspect.

Police believe that Ryan Alexander Jenkins, who was a contestant on two VH1 reality shows, fled to Washington state and crossed the border into Canada on Wednesday or early Thursday. An international manhunt is underway for him.

Relationship

The Orange County district attorney's office said 28-year-old Jasmine Fiore was last seen alive Aug. 13, when she and Jenkins went to an upscale Del Mar hotel together. Fiore and Jenkins had married earlier, then had the marriage annulled but were still dating.

Jenkins checked out of the hotel the next morning, apparently alone, according to prosecutors.

At some point, authorities say, Jenkins allegedly killed Fiore, placed her in the suitcase and left her in a trash bin off the 5 Freeway in Buena Park. On Saturday morning, a man looking for recyclables found the suitcase and called police.

"The officers found a large bloodstained gray suitcase containing the body of a Caucasian female. The victim had been badly beaten, all of her fingers had been cut off, and all of her teeth had been forcibly removed," prosecutors said in a statement released Thursday.

On Saturday night, Jenkins reported Fiore missing to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, prosecutors said, adding that he then fled Southern California. His whereabouts over the last few days were unknown, but on Wednesday he apparently surfaced in Washington state.

Will Canada refuse to send him back if there is a possibility he might get the death penalty?

Did he give her the red pill or the blue pill first?
probably couldn’t afford end of life counseling and couldn’t wait until ObamaCare was passed into law.

It hasn't been reported widely, but she was from the area near Santa Cruz that is on fire, Bonny Doon.

Horrendous crime!

Jenkins probably never watched CSI, et al, where they have shown that victims can be traced by the numbers that are on their breast implants. ....Of course, if he’d known that he probably would have removed the breasts as well as the fingers and teeth.

Jenkins needs a death sentence....soon! Unfortunately, I understand it takes about 25 years to happen in CA and it’s unlikely Canada will give him back for a death sentence.
