I think the story would be even more hilarious if they continued to air the shows and the dude did indeed win.

(AP) -- A reality TV contestant was charged with murder Thursday in the death of his ex-wife as the manhunt for the suspect spread to Canada and police provided gruesome new details about the killing. Police alleged Ryan Alexander Jenkins removed the teeth and fingers of Jasmine Fiore, presumably to impede authorities in their efforts to identify the naked body after it was found stuffed in a suitcase in a California trash bin over the weekend.

Prosecutors said the two checked into a San Diego hotel last Thursday, and Jenkins checked out the next morning. Fiore was not seen alive again. He vanished after the body was found Saturday and Buena Park police Lt. Steve Holliday said he's possibly armed with a handgun. Jenkins is believed to have driven 1,000 miles to Washington state and then hopped in a boat to a peninsula on the border, where he walked into Canadian territory. A Canadian police official said ground, air and canine units are involved in the search for Jenkins. "At this time, although we believe he crossed the border, we're not one hundred percent sure of that," U.S. Marshal Chief Inspector Thomas Hession. "There will be no stone unturned and we'll look under every rock for him." A car and empty boat trailer belonging to the 32-year-old Calgary, Alberta native were found at a marina in the remote northwest Washington town of Blaine. Whatcom County Sheriff's deputies received a report Wednesday that a man matching Jenkins' description arrived by boat at Point Roberts, Wash., about 10 miles from Blaine at the tip of a peninsula. The point is reachable by land only from Canada, and Jenkins is believed to have walked across the border from there. Canadian Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan said police agencies across Canada are on the lookout for Jenkins. Constable Sharlene Brooks in the Canadian border city of Delta said ground, air and canine units are involved in the search. Fiore's ex-boyfriend, Robert Hasman, urged Jenkins' friends and family to help police find him. "Ryan Jenkins is an animal, what he has done to Jasmine is unspeakable and it's just not right and I'd appreciate your help," Hasman said at a news conference. Jenkins was a contestant on the VH1 reality TV show "Megan Wants a Millionaire." After taping for the VH1 series finished in early March, Jenkins met 28-year-old Fiore in Las Vegas casino and the two got married on March 18, said Fiore's mother, Lisa Lepore. But in May, "they had a big blowout," and fought because he was jealous of her ex-boyfriends, Lepore said. "She had the marriage annulled." The federal government was in the process of issuing a federal warrant Thursday afternoon, which would allow Canadian authorities to take Jenkins into custody there, Capt. Ken Coovert said. If Jenkins is arrested in Canada, California can request that he be extradicted to the U.S. At least one actor who appeared on "Millionaire" with Jenkins at a mansion in the Hollywood Hills was shocked by the latest developments and remembered a suave bachelor who grew in confidence as taping progressed. Jenkins earned the nickname "Smooth Operator" because of "his cheeky cockiness. And I mean that in a friendly way," said Rob Locke, who played the host, a butler named Niles. "We were all under the impression that he was single. Then I saw on Facebook that he got married and there were photos of him and his wife. My personal observation was, 'Wow, that was quick,'" Locke said, adding that taping ended in March. Court records show that Jenkins was charged in June in Clark County, Nev., with a misdemeanor count of "battery constituting domestic violence" for allegedly hitting Fiore in the arm and will be tried in December. Jenkins also has a criminal history in his hometown of Calgary, Canada. He was sentenced to 15 months of probation in January 2007 on an unspecified assault charge, according to the Alberta, Canada Ministry of Justice. No further details were available. Neal Tomlinson, a partner at the law firm representing Jenkins in the Nevada case, declined to comment and declined to say if his firm was representing Jenkins in the current matter. Fiore was last seen alive with Jenkins at a poker game in San Diego. Jenkins reported her missing Saturday night to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, police said. A preliminary coroner's report indicated Fiore was strangled. Jenkins, variously described as an architect, real estate developer and investment banker from Calgary, appeared in at least three episodes of the series "Megan Wants a Millionaire," about a woman seeking to land a wealthy bachelor by putting suitors through their paces, such as designing a marketing campaign for her pet Chihuahua. On the show, Jenkins was identified as an investment banker who had a couple million dollars. A resume posted on the professional networking site LinkedIn.com says Jenkins graduated from Mount Royal College in Calgary in 1999, has a license to fly commercial airplanes and worked in investment sales and as president of a boutique development company focused on cutting-edge green technologies. By May, Fiore "didn't trust him because he was doing (things) behind her back," Lepore said. She declined to say what the incident involved. Jenkins then went to Mexico to do another reality TV show, but struggled to get Fiore back when he returned. It was not immediately clear which show he appeared on. "He convinced her during that month that he was really the guy for her," Lepore said. "He wrote poems and stories, and prayed, and (claimed he) had this huge spiritual awakening." VH1 said it has postponed any future airings of the show. The statement also said that the show was an outside production licensed to VH1, but that it was produced and owned by 51 Minds Entertainment. ————
That guy ended up winning I Love Money 3. I didn't know what that was, so I found the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Love_Money Like those Real World/Road Rules challenge shows I guess. He might be escaping to Canada with a fresh $250K from VH1.
Lol. No kidding. I like the fact that he went to them asking for the money immediately right after she was murdered. No chance in hell these ever air on TV.
I'm still hoping it'll get aired or leaked eventually. When the next writer's strike comes around, they'll need something to fill up the time slots. Here's to hoping bringing back Kid Nation, too.
This is definitely the craziest story I have ever heard of when it comes to reality TV. I bet that Megan chick is angry and all of the people that went on "I Love Money 3". Chances are slim to none. Basically none to none.
I saw this story on CNN this morning. I wonder if VH1 does any background checks on these contestants. That model could of been Megan he killed!
"they" didn't pick her and she wasn't on the reality show. reports say she was a swimsuit model and working to get her real estate license and to become a personal trainer. now she's been brutally murdered and you guys are screaming butterface VH1 is looking into how he got on their show with a record of domestic abuse.
edit: I didn't realize the post I responded to was in reference to the star "Megan" before the murder story emerged.... carry on!
whoa...her teeth were removed? How can you remove teeth? Knocking them out? Greed can make people crazy...literally.
Crazy. I clicked on this link to mention how my girl watches the show, and every other annoying reality show on that channel. Glad to hear that, and I Love Money #3 won't air. Sad it's because of a murder.
lawls, knew someone would say that. But seriously, I can't stand these stupid ass shows. Honestly, I watched the surreal life with Verne, and Chyna......but since then they are all so annoying. Infact, I pretty much don't even sit in my living room any more because my gf is always watching VH1 shows.
They're so horrible that even my wife won't watch them. I'll admit, I watched the Bret Michaels one with her - it was a complete trainwreck and actually kind of funny - but even she draws the line at this one. Along with the I love money ones. They take the losers on these shows, then give them their own shows, then take the losers from those shows, and give them their own shows. Remember when VH1 used to show videos? Thank God for Palladia!!
