Lance, the gay son died of AIDS and meth addiction.

Good. He saved us another media circus side show.

that’s it, then, too bad he didn’t do this in the first place

KFI 640 am Los Angeles is interrupting its program to cover this story. Very sad.

Jenkins, the killer, "cut off her fingers and pulled out all her teeth" in order to prevent identification of the body. Police found a serial code on the breast implants and identified the dead person as model Jasmine Fiore.

At least he died with his teeth and fingers.

Fiore’s teeth had been pulled out and her fingers cut off, apparently to impede her identification. Investigators used the serial numbers on her breast implants to identify her, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office.

Well that’s a new one.

Sometimes the story lines for a CSI episode just write themselves...

“NRIH”- NO Rest in Hell!

“...some honor in his killing himself.”

Not at all. He was not only a cold blooded murderer, but he was a coward too.

[Cyman]

Hanging oneself is a very gruesome and painfully slow way to die. I wonder why he chose that after traveling such a long way and having the time and opportunity for other methods?

>> Investigators used the serial numbers on her breast implants to identify her ...

>> Well that’s a new one.

Not really. In an aircraft accident, implants result in a quick positive ID. Remember the ValueJet crash in the Florida Everglades? There wasn’t much left, but there were lotsa implants that survived.

Y’know, I don’t know whether to be proud or to be ashamed.

I just don’t know who the H*** this guy is...nor his, sadly, deceased wife.

[ConservativeMind]

Frankly, it isn’t gruesome enough.

Now, if he had ripped out all of his teeth and slashed himself all up, than, I’d say he did to himself what he enjoyed giving to an innocent person.

That would be “fair.”

[tioga]

Honor is a stretch.........but I am grateful that he settled the issue without costing us tons of dollars in extradition, a trial and keeping him alive the rest of his sorry life.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

I believe I watched a NCIS episode a few years ago where they mentioned that breast implants had serial numbers and can be used to help identify a corpse that was missing other identification methods like teeth and fingerprints, but I don't believe it was the primary method they used to identify the character that died on the show that espisode.

But I'm sure it will now show up as a main plot line in one of these shows very soon.

Hanging oneself is a very gruesome and painfully slow way to die.

You'd be surprised at how few people realize that about suspension hanging, or don't know the difference between suspension and drop hanging (not that I think that even a well executed [no pun intended] drop hanging is painless).

[Gondring]

He was not only a cold blooded murderer, but he was a coward too.

Hanging is not an cowardly way to go. Often people have to make a second attempt because of being unable to follow through on the first attempt, tying their hands before the second attempt so they can follow through.

[wardaddy]

good riddance

i have no sympathy for men who kill God’s finest creations...beautiful women or little kids

[SmithL]

Actually, I was thinking “rot”, but yours works, too.

[This Just In]

I disagree. It is one of the most selfish, cowardly acts a person can commit. In this case, you forever scar your loved ones with such a legacy, and, to avoid justice and punishment, you end your life.

[OrangeHoof]

he is now facing the true reality show

"Saint Peter, who's our next contestant on 'You Bet Your Afterlife'?

"Johnny, we have a 32-year-old real estate mogul who murdered and mutilated his swimsuit-model ex-wife before tossing her in a dumpster then fleeing the country, only to hang himself in a motel room right outside the U.S. border. Please welcome..."

((tepid applause))

"Sooooo, Mr. Jenkins. Gee, we just had your wife on the show last week! Nice lady. In fact, she's backstage now with a cattle prod and a chainsaw. Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome back to our show, Ms. Jasmine..."
