Reports yesterday out of Toronto indicating that murder suspect Ryan Alexander Jenkins was arrested after arriving to the Canadian city by air turned out to be a miscue after authorities determined the had the wrong man. The search continues across the border for the reality show contestant who is believed to have killed his wife, model and Playboy rep Jasmine Fiore, then left her mutilated body in a suitcase in Buena Park dumpster before reporting her missing and fleeing.

More details have emerged regarding the Fiore murder, including that he teeth and fingers were removed, and that the corpse was identified by the serial numbers on her breast implants. People from the native Californian Fiore's life have come forward to express their past concerns about the 28-year-old's foray into modeling, and cellphone and text message records have helped establish the last few hours of her life and to whom she reached out to--and possibly that her killer send messages from her phone.

Jenkins, 32, an investment banker from Alberta who appeared on the VH1 reality dating show "Megan Wants a Millionaire," was charged with murder in Orange County this week, but is still on the run, most likely in Canada. VH1 immediately pulled "Megan" from the air, its website, and iTunes, and may do the same for the upcoming "I Love Money 3" in which Jenkins also appears as a contestant.

Damn, I loved megan wants a millionaire! Now I'll never find out who won

What a sick SOB. I'm guessing that the fact that the killer cut off her fingers and removed her teeth (!) is not going to work in his favor in front of a jury/judge. If he believes in an afterlife, I hope the killer doesn't have an issue with warm climes.
