Police are looking for a Calgary man in connection to the murder of a swimsuit model.
Investigators say 32-year-old Ryan Alexander Jenkins is a person of interest but they have not been able to locate him.
On Saturday, the body of 28-year-old Jasmine Fiore was found in Buena Park which is southeast of Los Angeles. Fiore was strangled, stuffed in a suitcase and thrown in a trash bin.
Police in Buena Park say Jenkins was last seen with Fiore on Friday night in San Diego, where the pair may have been attending a poker tournament.
"It's suspicious that he's not returning our calls and not making himself available to us when we want to speak to him about this, as he was the last person to be in her company," says Lt. Gary Worrall.
At a news conference on Tuesday, Worrall said investigators believe Jenkins, who reported Fiore missing on Saturday night after her body had been found, may try to flee to Canada.
They also say he may be driving a black BMW X5 or Fiore's white Mercedes CLS 550.
CTV News has learned that in Calgary in 2007 Jenkins pleaded guilty to assaulting Fearn Jewell. He was given a conditional discharge, 15-months probation, 80 hours of community service and ordered to seek counseling for domestic violence and sex addiction.
He was also charged in Nevada for battery constituting domestic violence for allegedly beating Fiore. A trial is set for December 18.
Kevin Brookwell of the Calgary Police Service tells CTV they aren't expecting Jenkins to come back to the city.
"The current information we are working on is that he would likely not come to Calgary and he has probably gone underground."
Jenkins recently moved to Los Angeles to appear as a contestant on the VH-1 reality show, "Megan Wants a Millionaire."
The show's star, Megan Hauserman, told TMZ that Jenkins and Fiore were married.
In a telephone interview posted on the TMZ website, Hauserman says Jenkins, who she describes as "very charming, very educated and mature," travelled to Las Vegas after being eliminated from the show, met Fiore, and married her two days later.
Jenkins is listed as the CEO and a real estate associate on a website for a company called Sky Homes Calgary. An online resume also says he is an investment sales associate at Concrete Equities.
