Model Who Moved to L.A. Now Missing
The LAPD and family of Jasmine Fiore are asking the public's help in finding her since she last disappeared last week. Fiore, who has modeled in the past--a cursory internet search indicates experience with Playboy, Lingerie Bowl, Hawaiian Tropic and as a promotional model--was last seen Friday around 8 p.m. at her residence on the 800 block of Edinburgh Avenue close to Fairfax and Melrose. A recent transplant from Las Vegas, he vehicle is a white, 2007 Mercedes CL S550 with black rims, tinted windows, and paper plates that read, “Platinum Motors.” The 28-year-old is described as white with brown hair (she used to be blonde), blue eyes, 5'7" and around 120 pounds. Anyone with information that could assist Detectives with this case is asked to call LAPD Detective Kristin Merrill at (213) 485-5381. Calls may be directed to our 24-hour, toll-free number at 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (527-3247). Callers may also text “Crimes” with a cell phone or log on to www.lapdonline.org and click on Web tips. When using a cell phone, all messages should begin with “LAPD.” Tipsters may remain anonymous.
