A 2007 Mercedes CL S550belonging to slain swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore is towed away in West Hollywood, Calif., on Wednesday. (Damian Dovarganes/Associated Press) There was blood and evidence of a violent struggle inside a car belonging to slain ex-model Jasmine Fiore, police in California said Friday.
The blood was on the passenger seat, back seat and rear windshield of the former swimsuit model's Mercedes-Benz.
Fiore's abandoned car was found in a parking lot in West Hollywood on Wednesday, near the penthouse she shared with Canadian real estate investor Ryan Jenkins, accused of killing her. His body was found in a motel room in Hope, B.C., on Sunday, and police believe he hanged himself.
Police also found a letter in the car's glove compartment that Jenkins wrote to Fiore some time ago, which pointed to Jenkins's feelings of jealousy.
Blood stains were also found on the patio of their room at a luxury San Diego hotel.
Ryan Jenkins and Jasmine Fiore got married in Las Vegas on March 18. (TMZ/Associated Press) According to a detailed timeline released by police Thursday, Jenkins didn't leave California until 24 hours after Fiore's body was found — during which time he moved out of their penthouse, packed enough belongings to fill a storage unit and picked up his speedboat.
There is no evidence so far that anyone in the United States helped Jenkins flee to Canada, said Sgt. Frank Nunes of the Buena Park police.
However, Jenkins made numerous calls from his cellphone, including to a lawyer who told police he would try to persuade Jenkins to turn himself in.
Fiore's mutilated body was found Aug. 15 stuffed in a suitcase in a Buena Park dumpster. Jenkins was a contestant on VH1's Megan Wants a Millionaire reality show.
