In August 2009, 28-year-old Playboy and swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore vanished from Southern California, and garbage collectors later found her nude, mutilated body stuffed in a suitcase in a dumpster. Her killer had removed her teeth and fingers to stop investigators from using dental records or fingerprints, so coroners traced the serial numbers on her silicone breast implants to formally identify her.
Police quickly focused on her husband, Canadian real estate developer and VH1 reality show contestant Ryan Alexander Jenkins, and charged him with her murder. Before he could stand trial, Jenkins fled to Canada and died by suicide in a British Columbia motel.
