Sheriff: Man sought in ex-model’s death fled US

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — A county sheriff’s office in Washington state says a former reality television contestant wanted for questioning in the death of his ex-wife has apparently escaped into Canada.

The sheriff’s office in Bellingham says deputies received word Wednesday that Ryan Alexander Jenkins could be in the county. They found his car and an empty boat trailer at a marina. They had a report that a man matching his description arrived by boat at Point Roberts where they believed he walked across the border to British Columbia.

Jenkins was a contestant on the VH1 reality TV show “Megan Wants a Millionaire.” He is wanted for questioning in the death of Jasmine Fiore, a former model. Her nude body was found over the weekend stuffed into a suitcase in a Buena Park, Calif., trash bin.
