A reality TV "millionaire" is wanted for questioning by police after a Playboy model was found murdered last weekend in Buena Park, California.
32-year-old Ryan Alexander Jenkins went on the run after he was described by authorities as a "person of interest" in the murder investigation of stunning swim-suit model Jasmine Fiore, 28.
Her nude body was found stuffed into a suitcase and dumped in a trash bin last Saturday. Jasmine had been strangled.
Several news outlets reported that Jenkins has yet to be grilled by cops. However, the UK Mail reported that he has already been questioned by police.
According to the Buena Park police, Jenkins has made contact with detectives and said he will cooperate in the matter.
Jenkins was recently among the final contestants on the VH-1 show, Megan Wants A Millionaire.
