TV contestant wanted for ex-wife’s murder

POLICE on the hunt for a reality TV contestant charged with the gruesome murder of his ex-wife were continuing to search the US-Canadian border after the woman’s relatives pleaded with his friends and family not to help “an animal” evade capture.

Ryan Alexander Jenkins, a Calgary, Alberta, native, was a contestant on the VH1 series Megan Wants A Millionaire, about a woman seeking to land a wealthy bachelor.

Police said Jenkins, 32, removed the teeth and fingers of 28-year-old Jasmine Fiore, presumably to impede authorities in their efforts to identify the naked body, which was found in a suitcase in a California bin this week.
