‘Megan Wants a Millionaire’ Contestant Wanted for Death of Playboy Model
Ryan Alexander Jenkins was a contestant on the reality show ‘Megan Wants a Millionaire’, which airs on VH1, competing for the heart of Megan Hauserman. In the real world though, he is married to a woman who he reported missing. Police have now identified the body of a woman found in a suitcase on Saturday morning as Jasmine Fiore, Jenkins’s 28-year-old wife, and he is now a person of interest.
According to authorities, Fiore was strangled and stuffed in the suitcase that was found at Buena Park in California by a local resident who was searching for recyclables in the trash. Frank DiStefano said that the suitcase was opened partially, so he lifted it and saw skin. He wasn’t sure of what he saw, so he lifted the top again and then saw everything. DiStefano says he called 911 immediately.
Jenkins hasn’t been seen since the body was discovered, and police say he may be headed to Canada. It has been reported that they put out an alert for people to lookout for either a black BMW X5 with Canadian plate HLY275 or a white 2007 Mercedes CL S550 (her missing car). According to TMZ, Jenkins’s publicist said that he planned to speak with authorities in the near future, but is currently talking to his attorney and will cooperate with the police fully.
Fiore was a bikini model in Las Vegas and also appeared in advertisements for Howard Stern. When she disappeared she was working as a ‘Girls of Golf’ representative for Playboy. She was last seen in San Diego at a poker game with Jenkins.
