BUENA PARK, Calif. (AP) - A body that was found stuffed in a suitcase and thrown in an Orange County trash bin has been identified as that of a 28-year-old former swimsuit model who disappeared over the weekend.
Police said Tuesday that Jasmine Fiore had been strangled.
Lt. Gary Worrall says police want to speak with Ryan Alexander Jenkins, of Alberta, Canada, who reported her missing Saturday night after he reportedly took her to a poker party in San Diego the night before.
Los Angeles police investigators realized Monday evening that the description of the body found Saturday morning in Buena Park matched the description of Fiore given by her mother.
Fiore had recently moved to Los Angeles from Las Vegas and had appeared in an ad for Howard Stern's radio show.
