The police search for reality-TV star Ryan Jenkins, labeled a "person of interest" in the Los Angeles-area murder of his swimsuit-model wife Jasmine Fiore, has focused on the Washington state-Canadian border, say news reports.
Jenkins, a contestant on Megan Wants a Millionaire and I Love Money 3 (and a successful real-estate developer), "was the last person seen with the victim when she was still alive," said Buena Park, Calif., police Lt. Gary Worrall. Jenkins, 32, was also the one who reported his wife missing.
"That's suspicious to us," said Worrell, noting that after contacting police Jenkins is now nowhere to be found.
Over the weekend, the remains of the 5' 3" Fiore, 28, were discovered folded into a suitcase in a trash receptacle in Buena Park.
