Ryan Jenkins, 32, a former Reality TV Star, accused of killing his bikini model wife, Jasmine Fiore on August 15th was found dead at a Vancouver-area motel. Wanted in California on first-degree charges, Jenkins was being internationally searched as he fled the country.

Confirming that Jenkins was found dead at the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, British Columbia, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Federal Boarder Integrity Unit believes it to be a suicide based on preliminary evidence; though confirmation has not been released.

Fiore’s body was found on August 15th dumped in a suitcase with her fingers cut off and teeth pulled out; this believed to be an attempt by Jenkins to make identifying the victim more difficult. Jenkins, a finalist for VH1’s Megan Wants a Millionaire, soon fled the country sparking an international manhunt which ended in the discovery of his body by a motel staff member.

A new report states that the woman who helped Ryan Jenkins check into the motel was his half-sister Alena Jenkins. Reports were made Tuesday evening by another Canadian reporter stating that they had been in touch with Alena Jenkins to gain more information regarding Ryan Jenkins whereabouts, but were unsuccessful in gaining any additional information.

More details to follow.

The reality TV star accused of killing his bikini-model wife was found dead Sunday in a motel room in Canada, but police are still investigating whether he had an accomplice in the original murder.

Ryan Jenkins, who had been cast in VH1’s “Megan Wants a Millionaire” and “I Love Money 3,” was wanted for the murder and mutilation of model Jasmine Fiore, who was found more than a week ago stuffed inside a suitcase thrown into a dumpster in Buena Park, near Los Angeles. Fiore’s teeth had been pulled out and her fingers cut off in an apparent attempt to hide her identity. Her body was identified through serial numbers in her breast implants.

According to family members, Jenkins and Fiore had a volatile relationship and Jenkins’ new-found fame had reportedly changed him. Jenkins’ father, Dan, told the L.A. Times his son was corrupted by fame and he died alone, unable to contact family or friends due to the manhunt. Court records show the younger Jenkins had been charged with abusive behavior many times.

The Times reported Tuesday police are seeking evidence from Fiore’s Mercedes as to whether Jenkins may have had an accomplice in her killing. An unknown woman is known to have helped Jenkins check into the Canadian motel where his body was discovered after he apparently hung himself with a belt. However, police said they know who the woman is and how to contact her, and do not consider her a threat.

Ryan Jenkins a former American reality TV contestant was found dead in Canada yesterday. He was wanted by police for the murder of his ex-wife in Los Angeles, and had apparently killed himself. Investigators found the body of Ryan Jenkins who had appeared in the series Megan Wants a Millionaire in a motel room in British Columbia.

Jenkins, 32, was a Canadian born real estate developer and was a wanted murder suspect in California for a first degree murder. He was suspected of killing Jasmine Fiore, when her body was found mutilated and stuffed in a suitcase in Buena Park, by a man that was searching the trash bin for recycled materials on August 14.

Jenkins was sought for questioning but disappeared following the murder. Later his boat was found in a marina located close to the US-Canada border near Vancouver. Yesterday police found his body in a motel room in Hope. It is assumed that he hung himself, although police cannot say at this time how long Jenkins´ body was in the motel room before authorities found him. ´

Authorities in California state that the investigation into the Jasmine Fiore murder will continue just to be sure that no one else was involved in the murder, although they do not expect to find anything else, and suspect that Jenkins acted of his own accord.

The couple had married earlier this year and remained married for a couple of months after which they separated, and Jenkins was later charged with attacking Ms. Fiore. They then re-established the relationship after he appeared on another reality TV series, and apparently booked a San Diego hotel on August 13th. The following day Mr. Jenkins checked out alone. The next day, a man looking for recycled materials found Ms. Fiore´s body inside the suitcase in the trash bin in Buena Park.

Investigators say Ms. Fiore had been gruesomely mutilated. Even her teeth had been pulled off and her fingers cut so as to impede identification. They were only able to identify the body through the serial numbers on the breast implants. Currently investigators do not believe anyone else to be involved in this murder.
