well mebbe for some, mebbe not so much for others??? :shock:

A contestant on a reality TV show was named a "person of interest" by police Tuesday in the case of a 28-year-old swimsuit model whose dead body was discovered stuffed into a suitcase and dumped into a Buena Park trash bin over the weekend ...... Fiore and Jenkins had left Los Angeles together Thursday and were bound for a poker tournament in San Diego, according to Lapore, who had been staying with her daughter. Fiore left with her suitcase "packed to the gills . . . probably the same one she was stuffed in," Lapore said.

OMG. Going to a charity poker tournament and you stop to kill the person you are traveling with and stuff them in a suitcase? How angry can the 405 make you?

haven't read the story updates this morning yet but it's a heinous crime and my thoughts do go out to her family - in the meantime guess the title of this thread could be changed to Oh, Those Wacky Canadians eh ...

Rather than pulling this down, I'm supplying the required link -- MaryS

Fiore and her accused murderer, husband Ryan Jenkins, drove to the San Diego area on August 13 in a white Mercedes and checked into the L'Auberge Del Mar -- which was two days before she was found dead. The general manager of the hotel observed them and said "they looked like a perfectly happy couple."

The general manager tells us two Buena Park detectives showed up to the hotel on Monday, stayed 4 hours and searched several areas of the hotel, including one room where they took several items.

The detectives showed up again on Wednesday, stayed again for several hours and interviewed several staff members.

The general manager doubts Fiore was killed in the hotel, saying the walls are very thin and no one reported a disturbance.

The GM says neither Jenkins nor Fiore formally checked out of the hotel. The last time they saw Ryan was Friday morning, when he left alone.


It appears the couple may have gone to a nearby Hilton Hotel. There are reports people at a poker party at the Hilton saw Fiore and Jenkins Friday night and observed her putting Jenkins down in a rude way.

Fiore's body was discovered on Saturday morning.

Much more detailed article from local NBC station.

Grisly Details of Swimsuit Model Murder Case
Gruesome details revealed in Fiore's death
By XANA O'NEILL and PAUL ANDERSON
Updated 10:16 AM PDT, Fri, Aug 21, 2009

The reality TV star charged in the slaying of his model ex-wife sliced off her fingers and removed her teeth to make identifying the blonde bombshell more difficult, cops said.

Details of the gruesome killing emerged as cops staged an international manhunt for ex-VH1 reality show contestant Ryan Alexander Jenkins, 32, who reportedly had a "-out fight" with model Jasmine Fiore the last night she was seen alive, ABC News reported.

"He was getting really angry, and it totally set the tone for the rest of the evening," an insider who was with the couple at the Hilton Hotel in San Diego early Friday morning told ABC.

Jenkins became overcome with jealously when Fiore spent most of her time in the bathroom on the phone and claimed she was talking to her mother.

"He kept screaming, 'Who were you taking to?'" the source said. "At about 1:30, they went up to their room to continue fighting."

Jenkins checked out of the L'Auberge Del Mar, about a half-mile from the Hilton, the following morning withoute Fiore, police said.

Fiore was discovered naked -- with her fingers and teeth missing -- stuffed into a suitcase that was found Saturday morning in a dumpster in Buena Park, Calif. Cops said she was strangled.

The "Megan Wants a Millionaire" contestant reported her missing the same day the suitcase was found. He was charged with her murder yesterday.

Officials believe Jenkins may have crossed the Canadian border from a remote area in Washington state overnight after he was named a person of interest in the case.

His black SUV and empty boat trailer attached was found in Washington state, and authorities said a man matching Jenkins' description was seen boarding a boat bound for a remote area where people can walk across the Canadian border on Thursday.

According to Orange County court documents, prosecutors are recommending that Jenkins be held in lieu of $10 million bail when he is arrested.

Fiore had recently moved to Los Angeles from Las Vegas, where she worked as a bikini model and had made appearances in ads for Howard Stern.

The couple were married in Las Vegas earlier this year, but various media outlets reported the marriage was annulled a short time later.

Jenkins was a contestant on the VH1 reality show "Megan Wants a Millionaire," a dating show in which men compete for the affections of a woman looking to become a "trophy wife" for a well-to-do suitor. His profile on the show's website lists him as a Calgary investment banker who claims to mold "player girls" into "princesses."

VH1 is no longer airing the show in light of the investigation.

The show's star, Megan Hauserman, told TMZ.com that Jenkins and Fiore met earlier this year in a Las Vegas strip club where Fiore was a dancer, and they were married two days later.

The poker tournament that they attended at the Del Mar Hilton -- was it on Friday (Aug 14th) or Thursday night (Aug 13th)?

The various news stories are confusing.
I bet on a horse at ten-to-one. It didn't come in until half-past five.
My horse was so late getting home, he tiptoed into the stable.

Definitely seems to be some confusion about the dates. He checked out of the hotel on Friday morning, without her.
