Ryan Alexander Jenkins, Reality Show Contestant, Wanted for Murder
Matt Richenthal at .It's easy to make jokes about Megan Wants a Millionaire, but a new report about one of the show's contestants is anything but a laughing matter.
Ryan Alexander Jenkins, who is still featured on the series and rumored to be a finalist, is the leading suspect in the murder of a Playboy representative that was found dead this week.
Jasmine Fiore was found stuffed in a suitcase inside a trash can on Saturday morning in Buena Park, CA. The police have been attempting to contact Jenkins because he was the first to report she was missing.
An officlal told TMZ that law enforcement in the area is afraid Jenkins, a resident of Calgary, has fled to Canada. His behavior has been labeled as "suspicious."
Megan Hauserman, meanwhile, says that Jenkins went to Las Vegas as soon as he was booted from her show; met Fiore at a strip club and married her two days later.
His publicist says:
"Ryan is currently speaking to his attorney and will fully cooperate with the police in this matter. He is planning on meeting with them in the near future."
** UPDATE: Rumors now say that Jenkins was actually a contestant on the already-filmed I Love Money 3 - and won the $250,000 grand prize! VH1 has no comment at this time.
