The father of reality TV star Ryan Jenkins is speaking out on the tragic circumstances of the last week in which Jenkins was accused of murdering ex-wife Jasmine Fiore and then apparently hung himself in a British Columbia motel room. Dan Jenkins, an architect in Calgary, tells the Los Angeles Times, “If my son was guilty, he was crazy. He was not the boy we knew. The boy we knew was not capable of anything remotely close to this act.” “Megan Wants a Millionaire” contender Ryan Jenkins was wanted last weekend in an international manhunt after Fiore’s body was found in a Buena Park, CA dumpster stuffed in a suitcase, strangled, her fingers and teeth removed. Police say her breast implants helped them identify the body. Jenkins reportedly made a run for the Canadian border and was later discovered Sunday hanged in the motel room. The elder Jenkins says that his son would “faint at the sight of blood” and may have fallen into the wrong crowd in Hollywood, believing him incapable of the violence he is accused of committing. “You talk to everyone here who knew him before he went down there and they’ll talk about a wonderful young man, a thoughtful man,” says Mr. Jenkins. The Times says law enforcement sources tell them that detectives are investigating whether or not Jenkins had help in disposing of Fiore’s body and if anyone helped him escape to Canada.
