Police Scour Canada for Millionaire Murder Suspect
ASSOCIATED PRESS August 22, 2009
BUENA PARK, Calif. (AP) -- Canadian authorities on Saturday intensified the manhunt for the millionaire reality TV star accused of murdering a former swimsuit model and stuffing her naked, mutilated body in a suitcase.
''We're leaving no stone unturned, but we have to play our cards close to our chest right now,'' said Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Duncan Pound.
The search for Ryan Alexander Jenkins, a 32-year-old real estate developer and investor from Calgary, is centered around Vancouver and British Columbia, said Peter Van Loan, Canada's public safety minister.
The Mounted Police are leading the manhunt for Jenkins, who is suspected of strangling Jasmine Fiore and then reporting her missing the evening of Aug. 15 before fleeing.
Jenkins and Fiore met in Las Vegas in March and they married a few weeks later. The couple separated shortly afterward, but had reportedly recently reconciled.
Fiore's body was found in a trash bin in Buena Park, an Orange County city about 20 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
Her 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, said Farrah Emami, spokeswoman for the Orange County district attorney's office.
Authorities believe Jenkins fled via car, boat and on foot to enter his native Canada.
Both Jenkins and Fiore were involved in the outer circles of the entertainment business.
Fiore was a model who worked mainly in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, doing gigs such as being bodypainted at parties, said Andrea Guevara, a friend who worked with her about five years ago coaching ''margarita wrestling'' teams -- young women tussling each other in swimming pools of green-colored water.

The good old serial numbers in the breast implants identification option. /facepalm
OK- and very clever, you got me there! That was thanks to KTLA.com!
Geez.....what a waste.
“and stuffing her naked, mutilated body in a suitcase.”
-looked to me she did a fair job of mutilation on her own. Was any part of that woman what she was born with? Her face looked like a cartoon drawing.
Who cares what she looked like? She was murdered. Shouldn’t your criticisms be directed to her murderer (whether it’s this suspect or someone else)?
I sense the compassion is strong with this one. (/sarc)
Yeah, who woulda thunk!?!? Whoops, forgot to hack the breasts off, too! Satan Incarnate.
Yes, I’m well aware of that. Look at who posted the article claiming he was nabbed.
