According to reports, 'Megan Wants a Millionaire' contestant, Ryan Jenkins, is not only a person of interest in the murder of model Jasmine Fiore, but is also her husband.

TMZ reports that Jenkins and Jasmine married earlier this year. Jenkins made it to the finals of the VHI reality show, but headed straight for Las Vegas when he was eliminated and met Fiore.

Police say after Jenkins reported Jasmine missing, they were unsuccessful in trying to contact him and fear he may have fled to where he resides-across the border in Calgary, Canada.

Megan Hauserman of the VH1 show, spoke to TMZ by phone and said Jenkins seemed nice, smart, and she is shocked at what has happened.

******************

Authorities believe they've found the body of the 28-year-old swimsuit model who went missing several days ago.

Tuesday, police announced that a body found in Buena Park, Calif. on Saturday has been identified as that of missing model, Jasmine Fiore, according to KABC-TV.

The body, inside a small suitcase that was not zipped up, was discovered early Saturday in a trash bin by a passerby, reports the Orange County Register. KTLA is reporting Jasmine may have been strangled.

Jasmine was last seen only a few days ago at her Fairfax District home. She had recently moved to the Los Angeles area from Las Vegas to open a personal training business.

Her mother told authorities her daughter was getting ready to make a trip to San Diego for a poker tournament. Jasmine's white 2007 Mercedes CL S550 is also missing and is described as having tinted windows, black rims, and paper license plates that read "Platinum Motors."

Jasmine had modeled for Las Vegas hotels, worked as an events coordinator for Playboy's 'Girls of Golf,' and done advertising for radio personality Howard Stern.

She had recently dyed her hair black and changed her last name from Kinkaid to Fiore.

(Aug. 28) -- A body that was found stuffed in a suitcase and thrown in an Orange County trash bin has been identified as that of a 28-year-old former swimsuit model who disappeared over the weekend. Police said Tuesday that Jasmine Fiore had been strangled. Lt. Gary Worrall says police want to speak with Ryan Alexander Jenkins, of Alberta, Canada, who reported her missing Saturday night after he reportedly took her to a poker party in San Diego. The Los Angeles Times reported that Jenkins was a contestant on the current VH1 reality show 'Megan Wants a Millionaire,' in which a woman tries to land a wealthy husband. Fiore's mother, Lisa Lapore, told the Times that Jenkins and her daughter had been dating. Police said they were investigating suggestions that the two had married in Las Vegas. Los Angeles police investigators realized Monday evening that the description of the body found Saturday morning in Buena Park matched the description of Fiore given by her mother. Fiore had recently moved to Los Angeles from Las Vegas and had appeared in an ad for Howard Stern's radio show." ETA: Ryan Jenkins from "Megan Wants a Millionaire" VH1 website

	trepid on Aug 19, 2009 at 9:16 AM Oh God, that poor girl. I have been following this one, but the last thing I read was that the body was still unidentified and the police were working on the lines that it may be the body of a small child. She must of been so tiny (and wow, she has the most amazing cat eyes). What a hideous, absolutely brutal thing ... and to be stuffed in a suitcase and disposed of in the trash. urgh, I can't even fathom it. What could she have possibly done to deserve such a thing? ... and why do I get the feeling that asshole's name isn't really Ryan Alexander Jenkins and he isn't really an investment banker. He just seems really ... fake.

	trepid on Aug 19, 2009 at 9:51 AM Was she just advertising for modelling jobs on-line by that profile or was she with some sort of professional agency that organised photography shoots for her? I really hope she hadn't organised to meet some random man under the assumption that they were a professional photographer. Urgh, this one is really giving me the chills, I can't get her face out of my mind. :cry:

	julia~chaos on Aug 19, 2009 at 10:54 AM Several sites are indicating that she and Jenkins were indeed married, and that they were having lots of problems: http://www.tmz.com/2009/08/19/jasmine-fiore-ryan-alexander-jenkins-murder/ A close friend of Jasmine Fiore's tells us Jasmine and Ryan Alexander Jenkins' marriage was on the rocks, and that Jasmine was planning to go to Vegas to "reunite" with an ex-boyfriend. The friend says Jasmine was planning to take her Vegas trip the day before her body was found. And, the woman who was the roommate of Fiore and Jenkins tells TMZ Jenkins told her last Sunday -- the day after Jasmine's body was discovered -- he was "done with the relationship," that "he couldn't take it anymore" and he was going to Vegas. The roommate also says Jenkins -- who appeared on the VH1 reality show "Megan Wants a Millionaire" -- called her last Saturday night and said, "I should have known something was up when she said she was going to run errands and left with all of our packed suitcases in our car." Jasmine's body was found stuffed in a suitcase and thrown in a dumpster in Orange County, CA last Saturday. Both the roommate and the friend say Fiore was not a stripper and that Fiore and Jenkins met at a Hawaiian Tropic event in Vegas. And Playboy says Fiore worked as a promo model for a "Girls of Golf" event one time 4 years ago and hasn't worked for Playboy since. ____ Ok so first off, this guy sounds like a douchebag from the get go. He's on this "Millionaire" show, yet he's already married! Second, he doesn't sound very bright. :lol: He seems super shady though. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it turns out he did it.
