VH1 reality star wanted for questioning in ex-wife's murder
The Associated Press reports that VH1 reality show contestant Ryan Alexander Jenkins, 32, is wanted by police for questioning regarding the murder of his ex-wife, former model Jasmine Fiore, 28, after her body was found in a trash bin in Buena Park, Calif. this weekend. Fiore was last seen alive in San Diego with Jenkins, who phoned the L.A.P.D. to report her disappearance on Saturday. Jenkins’ current whereabouts are unknown. VH1 has pulled all episodes and promotional materials for its dating show Megan Wants a Millionaire, which featured Jenkins as one of 17 wealthy bachelors seeking to woo former Rock of Love: Charm School contestant Megan Hauserman. Jenkins and Fiore reportedly met and quickly married after the show finished taping in March, but Fiore had the marriage annulled in May.
