TV contestant fought with wife before killing

Hours before she died, former model Jasmine Fiore was chatting on her cell phone with an ex-boyfriend — a conversation that police say threw her reality contestant husband into a jealous rage.

Witnesses said Ryan Jenkins argued with Fiore in the lobby of the San Diego Hilton after leaving a poker tournament, telling her “you’re making a fool of me in front of my friends,” said Buena Park police Sgt. Frank Nunes.

The argument was the latest in the couple’s volatile, jealous relationship and just hours before Jenkins allegedly killed his 28-year old wife, stuffed her body into a suitcase and dumped her in a Buena Park trash bin, police said.

A detailed timeline revealed Thursday by police showed that Jenkins, who appeared on VH1’s “Megan Wants a Millionaire,” started a 1,000-mile dash for his native Canada 24 hours after Fiore’s body was found early Aug. 15.

Fiore’s nose was broken, she was badly beaten and she was missing the last digit of all her fingers and her teeth — presumably to hamper efforts to identify her.

The 32-year-old son of a prominent Calgary architect was found Sunday in an isolated motel in Hope, British Columbia, where he had committed suicide.
