"Woman Accomplice to Ryan Jenkins Now Sought by Canadian Police"

Now that the body of Ryan Jenkins has been found in a room at the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, British Columbia, Canadian authorities are still searching for the woman who checked in with the reality TV contestant. While authorities from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have “identified the woman who is now a person of interest in this investigation, she is not considered a risk to public safety,” Sgt. Duncan Pound said Monday, August 24.

Kevin Walker, the motel manager, told CTV that the woman was about 5 feet, 9 inches tall and 20 to 25 years old. She dropped Jenkins off at the motel on Friday, August 21 in a silver Chrysler PT Cruiser with Alberta tags. “She just came for that one day and had checked in and rented the room,” Allana Herrling, a motel employee, said. “I don’t know if he paid her to rent the room or if he knew her or not, but she had rented the room and she had left right away.”

Southern California police were interested in Jenkins, as the nude body of his wife, former swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore, was found Saturday, August 15 in a Dumpster behind an apartment complex in Buena Park, just outside Anaheim. Her teeth and fingers were removed, in what police believe was an apparent attempt to conceal her identity.

Fiore, who was identified through the serial numbers on her breast implants, is believed to have been strangled, according to a preliminary coroner’s. She was last seen alive the night before her body was discovered at a poker game in San Diego with her husband, who reported her missing on the day her body was found.

Jenkins, who appeared on the VH1 show “Megan Wants a Millionaire,” which has been canceled, as he reportedly reached the finals, and the as-of-yet un-aired season of “I Love Money 3,” was a suspect because he was charged in June with battery, for allegedly striking Fiore in the arm with his fist. He also pleaded guilty in Calgary, Alberta to assault two years ago in a separate case, and was sentenced to 15 months of probation, ordered to undergo counseling for domestic violence and sex addiction, and to stay away from the victim, according to court records.
