WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — A white Mercedes-Benz found in a parking lot here belonged to an ex-model whose brutal slaying prompted a manhunt for a former reality-TV contestant wanted in the murder, police said Wednesday.
Police received an anonymous tip and found the car belonging to Jasmine Fiore in a parking lot next to a grocery store, Buena Park police Detective Eric Burciaga said.
Police have not found a murder scene and say Fiore could have been killed in the car.
Investigators did not try to open the car and were unable to see inside because of its tinted windows. A tow truck transported it from the scene.
Suspect Ryan Jenkins, 32, her ex-husband and a former contestant on the VH1 show “Megan Wants a Millionaire,” was found dead Sunday in a hotel room in Hope, British Columbia. An autopsy concluded he committed suicide.
