Nearly five months ago, Ryan Alexander Jenkins, a contestant on Megan Wants a Millionaire and I Love Money 3 – and a real-life millionaire from Canada – impulsively married Playboy model Jasmine Fiore in Las Vegas.
The story has now taken a deadly turn from escapist television fare: Fiore has been murdered, the Millionaire show has been pulled off the air, and Jenkins is an international fugitive.
It began, police say, when a nude female body was found stuffed in a suitcase in a dumpster behind an apartment complex in Buena Park, an Orange County suburb south of Los Angeles, on Saturday, Aug. 15. That night, Jenkins called the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to report Fiore missing, and by Monday the Orange County coroner confirmed the victim as Fiore, apparently strangled.
Now, police in the United States and Canada are scrambling to find Jenkins, a Calgary real estate salesman considered a "person of interest" in the murder. (People)
