00:00Jasmine loved being at the Playboy Mansion, and she had the perfect body, perfect smile,

00:08long blonde hair, just your perfect Playboy model.

00:11Hi, I'm Jasmine, and today we're at C-level.

00:14To be a playmate, it's a ticket to the highlight.

00:17Jasmine saw that.

00:19You know, the world was pretty much her oyster just waiting for her to crack it open.

00:24Men want to date a Playboy model, but they're also simultaneously very, very jealous.

00:30They didn't love each other.

00:33He didn't even like her, and she didn't like him.

00:37She sends a text, send a plane for me, come get me.

00:41I'm just like, what?

00:43I had to double take when I found out that she had been married before.

00:48I was just like, no.

00:50No one who loved a human being would do this.

00:54You always think, my God, what could I have done?

01:00I'll dispense and I'll receive the call.

01:17There was an individual who was out looking for cans early in the morning.

01:20And he came across this suitcase in a dumpster.

01:26It was unzipped, and he believed there was a child in the suitcase.

01:32We arrived on scene, and I realized immediately it was not a small child.

01:37It was a small female.

01:39The adult female was nude, but you couldn't really see her face because of the way the

01:48body was positioned inside a suitcase.

01:50I started looking at all the fingers.

01:53I realized they were all missing.

01:55Thumbs, fingers.

01:56And I looked at the coroner and said, her teeth are going to be missing, too.

02:05Immediately, that's when I went, oh, my God, who would have done this?

02:11The cartel was a possibility.

02:13This is Southern California.

02:14We're a couple of miles from the border.

02:16This was in a gang area.

02:18The cartels used the gangs.

02:20She could have been a snitch.

02:21You know, it could have been a serial killer.

02:23She went to the Ontario County Coroner's office for an autopsy.

02:29We need to start trying to identify this female who can't do prints.

02:33Her face was too badly beaten to really try to make a positive identification in any way.

02:39But we had a sketch artist come in.

02:41And we put the sketch in the media to see if anybody could recognize her.

02:47The killer thought that they had done everything they needed to do.

02:53To conceal the death and or the identity of the person they killed.

02:58But they forgot one item.

03:01During the autopsy, they removed her breast implants.

03:05Every prosthetic, including breast implants, have serial numbers on them.

03:10Her name was Jasmine Field.

03:13Jasmine was 28 years old.

03:15We learned that she was a former Playboy model.

03:20I'm Jasmine.

03:21Have a good time.

03:23I was watching TV and it came up on the news.

03:26And they showed her picture.

03:29And my jaw dropped.

03:32It was Jasmine.

03:33It was our Jasmine.

03:35We were stunned.

03:36How could this happen?

03:38Who could do something like this?

03:40How could any human being do something like this?

03:43It just blew me away.

03:45Like, I just talked to her.

03:46Like, it's one of those things when people say, oh, they died.

03:49No, I just talked to her.

03:50They could be dead.

03:52But she was.

03:53When I heard that a Playboy party hostess had been murdered and dismembered, that's all

04:03I needed to jump on this story.

04:13I only knew about Jasmine in hindsight, but my friend Stacy knew her pretty well.

04:19Jasmine came to our Fun in the Sun parties at the Playboy Mansion, and that's where I met

04:25her.

04:26I used to date Hugh Hefner as one of his girlfriends, and I lived at the mansion.

04:31When I was a girlfriend, Holly Madison was the main girlfriend, and it was fun.

04:36Stacy Burke is a close friend of mine.

04:39She'd been going to mansion parties for a long time, and even after she stopped dating,

04:43Hef kept coming up there as a friend.

04:46Playmates, girlfriends, or some girls.

04:49The girls that Hef found attractive that were allowed to come to Fun in the Sun would

04:53come around in their bikinis, and we would just have a pool party.

05:00The women who would be invited to the Fun in the Sun parties had to fit a certain beauty

05:03standard.

05:04Hef looked over Polaroids of women to see if he thought they were, you know, measuring

05:09up to be a pool party girl.

05:12Jasmine loved me at the Playboy Mansion.

05:15She fit right in.

05:16She was tan, she was blonde, big boobs, perfect Playboy type.

05:22The camera loved her.

05:24She wanted the world, and she went after it.

05:27You would think she'd be stuck up, but she was not.

05:31She was very sweet, very soft-spoken, and very nice and courteous.

05:35In the mid-2000s, Playboy was definitely more than just a magazine.

05:41It was seen as a lifestyle, a brand of parties.

05:45The Playboy golf tournaments were kind of like a regular golf tournament, but more fun.

05:50There were tons of women hired to work the events.

05:52They would call the Playboy Girls of Golf.

05:54Our Girls of Playboy Golf were the hostesses of the event.

05:58And Jasmine became one of our Girls of Playboy Golf in 2004.

06:03We usually had about 35 events across the United States with several thousand golfers and really

06:10thousands of girls.

06:11And the girls were fantastic.

06:13And people could actually get a taste of half's life.

06:17When we went on the golf course, we weren't quiet on the course.

06:23We had DJs.

06:24We had games and fun.

06:27And there are some guys that never took their golf clubs out of their cart.

06:31Just like at every hole, there was like a booth where women were handing out shots.

06:37Jasmine definitely knew that, you know, she was a very beautiful girl, but she had a smile, right?

06:41And so with that smile, she could charm you.

06:46And if she's having a great time, all our clients are having a great time.

06:50Everybody's having fun.

06:52After about a year of actually being one of the Girls of Playboy Golf hostesses,

06:56we asked her if she would like to help coordinate the Girls of Playboy Golf for our events in Las Vegas in L.A.

07:02And she jumped right on that.

07:04Jasmine Fiore was brought up outside of Santa Cruz, California, in a small town called Monte Dune.

07:18She was an only child, but she wasn't a silver spoon kid or a trust fund kid by any stretch of the imagination.

07:27Her father left her mother when she was nine years old, leaving her mother limited resources to raise her alone.

07:37And she was somewhat of a tomboy.

07:40She went on a race car expedition across the country.

07:44She rode horses with the best of the cowboys.

07:47She was one ambitious, fun-loving young woman.

07:53But she had her sights set far outside of Bonnie Dune.

07:58By 2006, she was splitting her time between Vegas and L.A.

08:04And once she was entrenched enough and savvy enough in the modeling business,

08:09you know, the world was pretty much her oyster just waiting for her to crack it open.

08:17Jasmine is probably the type of woman who was told, you know,

08:21since she was an adult, you look like you should be in Playboy.

08:24And I think Jasmine, like a lot of other women, probably saw working the parties.

08:28They were working as a girl of golf as a stepping stone to something bigger,

08:32like a pictorial in the magazine.

08:34To be a playmate, it's a ticket to the highlight.

08:37But Jasmine saw that all of a sudden, things happen.

08:41You meet people.

08:42You're doing things that you never would do if you were from a small town.

08:45All of a sudden, you're getting invited to places.

08:48You're going out at nightclubs.

08:50Places that you'd have to wait in line, you walk right in.

08:54Jasmine had the typical California girl look.

08:57She was tall with a beautiful body.

08:59Usually that was the type of look that Heff really liked for the centerfolds.

09:02But Jasmine understood that, you know, a centerfold, it's rare.

09:08It's 12 a year.

09:10And that's it.

09:13Nonetheless, she still had ambitions to become a Playboy centerfold

09:18and did submit portfolios of photos.

09:22When Jasmine was auditioning to be a Playmate in the early 2000s,

09:25it was a very competitive time.

09:28There were so many women, thousands and thousands a month,

09:31submitting photos to be a centerfold.

09:33And even if Jasmine didn't make it as a centerfold,

09:36there were still a lot of doors open for her within the Playboy world.

09:39And somebody that they may want to be a brand spokesperson,

09:43yeah, she had all those attributes and traits,

09:45and that possibility was always there.

09:52When Jasmine became one of our coordinators at Playboy Golf,

09:56she'd heard me make this speech before.

09:59Hey, you're going to meet a lot of people.

10:01You have to be careful.

10:02You have to be able to understand that, you know,

10:07not everybody is who they say they are.

10:10When you're in the safety of our Playboy party,

10:12we can ensure that you can have the best of times and still be safe.

10:18But if you decide to venture out,

10:20we can't stop you from doing that,

10:22but we can't control what happens.

10:26You can't trust everybody.

10:28You can't.

10:32Your question was about mutilation.

10:39Yes, the fingers and teeth were removed.

10:48As soon as the colonel's office gave us the name of Jasmine Field,

10:53we ran in our systems to see if she was reported missing,

10:56and that's when we found out she had actually been reported missing.

10:59On the Saturday that we found her body.

11:05At that point,

11:07LAP contacts us,

11:08and we learn that she's married to Ryan Jenkins.

11:11According to the missing person's report that Ryan Jenkins filed,

11:15he made comments to them like,

11:17she's been missing since August 14th, the day before we found the body.

11:22As soon as we know about Ryan Jenkins,

11:24and that he is the person who reported Jasmine Fury missing,

11:28we are frantically trying to get a hold of him.

11:31We get his phone number off the report,

11:33so we know it's his phone,

11:34and we are calling and calling,

11:35and he's just not picking up the phone for us.

11:40When you're looking at a homicide,

11:43you're always going to look at the husband.

11:44Doesn't mean it's the husband,

11:46but we got to talk to him.

11:47We got to eliminate him,

11:49just like we eliminate everyone else.

11:51The missing persons detective with the LAPD

11:54actually got a hold of Jenkins

11:55and told them,

11:58yeah, I reported on missing,

12:00but I got to get back to Canada

12:01because I have visa issues.

12:04I thought it was pretty strange

12:05that he reports his wife missing,

12:08and now he's leaving because of visa issues.

12:11We dug it a little deeper,

12:13and we learned that he was in a reality TV show,

12:17Megan Wants a Millionaire.

12:20This was months before the murder of Jasmine Fury.

12:22The star of the show was Megan Hausman,

12:26a former Playboy model.

12:29In 2005, I got discovered by Playboy,

12:33and they made me a cyber girl.

12:35If you're a Playmate,

12:36you're featured as a centerfold in the magazine.

12:38If you're a cyber girl,

12:39you're featured on their website.

12:41Playboy at that time

12:42had all different kinds of products

12:44that they were trying to promote,

12:45so I did runway shows with their clothing line.

12:49They had a Playboy concierge service,

12:51so they would fly me to different nightclubs.

12:54And you got to be on the permanent list

12:55to the Playboy mansion parties,

12:57which was like a golden ticket.

13:00I love the Playboy world.

13:01I couldn't get enough of it.

13:05But in 2007,

13:07I just got too busy with reality TV

13:09to continue with Playboy.

13:11Hi!

13:11Hi, Megan. How's it going?

13:12So the concept of Megan Wants a Millionaire

13:14was that I was single.

13:16I was looking to be in a relationship.

13:20I would prefer that person

13:21to have a lot of money

13:22and also be single

13:25and for us to live happily ever after.

13:28The 17 bachelors

13:29had to have a minimum

13:31of a net worth of $1 million.

13:34Oh, my God!

13:35And the casting agents

13:37held casting parties

13:38at different nightclubs

13:39and interviewed men

13:40to be on the show.

13:4214 of you are pre-approved.

13:44Three of you will be declined.

13:47Ryan Jenkins lived in Calgary.

13:49It's a big, rich, wealthy oil town

13:52in the provinces in Canada.

13:56And he definitely had dreams of stardom,

13:59whatever it may be

14:00or whatever it took.

14:03I met Ryan Jenkins

14:04on the first episode.

14:06Hello, Megan.

14:07I remember he was wearing purple shirt

14:09and I had a purple dress on

14:11and my dog had a purple bow

14:13on her neck.

14:15So we all matched.

14:17And I liked him

14:18from the very beginning.

14:20Ryan would spend his time

14:22writing love letters to me.

14:24Hey, baby.

14:25I just wanted to tell you

14:26that I'm having a great time

14:28on this show

14:28and it's all because of you.

14:31I always feel a connection with you

14:32regardless of what we are doing

14:34as if you and I

14:35were the only ones in the room.

14:38I can't wait to have you

14:39all to myself

14:40as I truly feel

14:42that a life together with you

14:43would be amazing.

14:45Your boy, Ryan.

14:48We had a real relationship happening,

14:50but we had to keep it secret.

14:52This is an elimination contest show

14:57called Megan Wants a Millionaire.

14:59You know,

15:00you pretty much have to be

15:01a millionaire, don't you?

15:03So he told the casting director

15:06and it went all the way up

15:07the chain in production

15:08that he was worth

15:10two and a half million dollars.

15:13Ryan claimed to be a millionaire,

15:15but it became obvious

15:17that he really didn't have much money.

15:20Ryan's father's

15:21a real estate developer

15:23as property in Canada

15:24and he's actually

15:26the millionaire in the family.

15:27Ryan's not a millionaire.

15:29His father was a millionaire.

15:31But I didn't care.

15:32I really liked him.

15:34When we were down

15:35to the last three contestants,

15:37I told the producer

15:39that I wanted to pick Ryan

15:41and she said

15:42that that was not

15:43what they had planned.

15:45And that was the first time

15:47that I was made aware

15:49that

15:50the decision wasn't up to me.

15:55I had no time

15:57to tell him

15:58that I was going

15:59to eliminate him.

15:59Plus, I could not have

16:01jeopardized the show

16:02and told him

16:03before the elimination ceremony.

16:06Hi, Ryan.

16:08Ryan was standing

16:09in front of me

16:10with the other two contestants,

16:12the final three,

16:13and I was shaking.

16:19A connection that...

16:20I had a microphone

16:21in my ear

16:21and I was just repeating

16:23what they were telling me

16:24to say

16:25and I had to tell him

16:27he was eliminated.

16:30And he was just

16:31shaking his head

16:33and saying, like,

16:34no, that's not true.

16:37A lot of times,

16:38reality shows

16:39don't have a lot of regard

16:40for the people involved

16:41because they want

16:42to get the story.

16:43That's the first priority.

16:44They want a TV show

16:46that's going to grab eyes

16:47and that everybody's

16:47going to watch.

16:48So they're going to get

16:49the content they want.

16:50They're going to edit it

16:51the way they want.

16:52You know,

16:52they're going to make you

16:54say what they want you

16:54to say, basically.

16:55So, after the elimination ceremony,

17:04he got back to his hotel

17:06and he started calling me

17:08over and over and over again.

17:12And, I mean,

17:13I was getting ready

17:14to fly to Mexico

17:16to film the finale

17:17and I had the producers with me.

17:20I could not talk to him

17:21on the phone.

17:23And then I was planning

17:24on calling him

17:25and explaining everything

17:26to him,

17:27smoothing it all over

17:28and we could just go on

17:29with our happy plans.

17:32And two days later,

17:34he called me

17:36and before I got to explain

17:38to him what happened,

17:39he said,

17:42I have met the love of my life

17:44and I'm married.

17:46I really could not believe it

17:48because just two days

17:49before that,

17:50he told me he was going

17:50to marry me

17:51and I was the love of his life.

17:52Well, to say it was

17:56a whirlwind romance

17:58would be an understatement.

18:01Ryan told me that

18:03he met her in a nightclub

18:05in Vegas.

18:06He asked her for her phone number.

18:09She put her phone number

18:11in his phone

18:11and under the contact,

18:13she put her birthday.

18:14When he looked at the phone,

18:15he saw that

18:16it was also his birthday.

18:19They shared the same birthday

18:20and he thought

18:21that that was a sign

18:22that she was the one

18:24and he had to marry her.

18:27And that made Jasmine

18:29believe that they were

18:30meant to be.

18:31So they met on March 16th

18:34and two days later,

18:36March 18th, 2009,

18:38they're married

18:39at the Little White Chapel

18:40in Las Vegas.

18:44Ryan thought that

18:47if he couldn't be married

18:48to me,

18:49he would find another

18:49Playboy model

18:50to be married to.

18:52I think a lot of men,

18:54particularly Ryan in this case,

18:55want to date

18:56a Playboy model

18:57or to have

18:58that kind of trophy

18:59on his arm

19:00to get a lot of attention

19:01or reflect that attention

19:02back on them.

19:04He presented himself

19:06as a very wealthy millionaire

19:08that was going to be starring

19:10in a TV show

19:11that was going to

19:12make him famous.

19:14She presented herself

19:16as a big model,

19:18you know,

19:19Playboy.

19:20And they had the idea

19:21that they were going to be

19:22this showbiz couple

19:23in Vegas.

19:25They seemed like

19:26a glamorous power couple,

19:27but it was all a facade.

19:31They kind of got married

19:33really quick

19:33without knowing each other

19:35that well.

19:37and having some problems

19:38and she just didn't know

19:41how to handle it.

19:42It's starting to look

19:43to Jasmine that,

19:45oof,

19:46she threw it in

19:47for the wrong guy.

19:48This guy doesn't

19:49have any money.

19:51He kept promising

19:52that he'd have money

19:53and be able

19:54to take care of them,

19:55but he couldn't get

19:56his money into the country

19:57from Canada.

19:59She worked hard

20:00for her money

20:00and he was dipping

20:02into it

20:02and she resented that.

20:04he's not the guy

20:05he told her he was.

20:06A couple weeks later,

20:17Ryan actually sent me

20:18this message

20:19from Vegas.

20:20I got caught up

20:22after the show

20:24and made a hasty decision

20:25with a girl,

20:26as you know,

20:27but it's very obvious

20:28I am not with

20:29my soulmate here.

20:31If you'd like to see

20:33if there could be

20:34still something,

20:35we should talk.

20:35I just had a soft spot

20:39for him

20:39and I felt like

20:40even if we weren't

20:41going to have

20:42a relationship,

20:43I cared about him

20:44and I wanted

20:45to help him.

20:54Ryan was our person

20:55of interest,

20:56but we also had

20:57to look at others.

20:58We wanted to speak

20:59with anyone

21:00that had any contact

21:01with Jasmine,

21:02specifically,

21:03you know,

21:04days before her murder.

21:06Came back

21:06from the colonel's office

21:07that DNA was present

21:09on Jasmine Fio's body.

21:13When they did

21:13the rape kit,

21:14they found semen.

21:15Guess what?

21:16DNA's in the system.

21:18Michael Cardozi

21:19is a prolly

21:21who had just been

21:21released from prison.

21:24And he was

21:25a former husband

21:26of Jasmine.

21:27I'm just like,

21:28what?

21:29I had to double take

21:31when I found out

21:32that she had been

21:33married before.

21:34And we learned

21:35that she had been

21:36with him

21:37days before

21:38being murdered.

21:44On Tuesday,

21:46August 11, 2009,

21:48four days before

21:49her body was found,

21:51Jasmine went down

21:52to San Diego

21:53to greet

21:55Michael Cardozi

21:56as he was being

21:57released from prison.

21:59After serving a lengthy

22:00stretch for drug trafficking,

22:02she did more than a visit.

22:05His DNA was found

22:06at the scene.

22:07And it's no surprise

22:09that when the detectives

22:11in charge found out,

22:13they wanted to have a look

22:14at this Michael Cardozi guy.

22:16Originally,

22:17we thought,

22:17just get out of prison.

22:19Seaman's in awe.

22:21You know,

22:22definitely a suspect.

22:23I don't think there's

22:24much room for speculation

22:26as to why Jasmine

22:27and Michael Cardozi

22:29split up.

22:31He got busted,

22:32went to prison,

22:33marriage over.

22:35And they divorced

22:36in 2005.

22:39He was still in love

22:40with Jasmine,

22:41and I think it's

22:42pretty clear that

22:43she had very strong

22:44feelings for him, too,

22:45because she literally

22:46went down to San Diego

22:48to see him.

22:49When he was questioned

22:50by detectives,

22:51he couldn't have had

22:52a more solid alibi.

22:54He had a monitor

22:55around his ankle

22:56tracking his every movement.

22:59He definitely wasn't

23:00anywhere near

23:01the scene of the murder.

23:07At this point,

23:09I was positive

23:10that Ryan Jenkins

23:12was a suspect.

23:13And we feel that

23:14he's running from us,

23:16so we look

23:17going to his background

23:17and, you know,

23:20we find out

23:20that he has

23:20criminal history.

23:22And he had

23:24prior domestic violence

23:25out of Canada.

23:27He was convicted

23:28for assaulting

23:28his girlfriend

23:29and was sentenced

23:30to 15 months probation

23:31and a sex addiction

23:33therapy program.

23:40Ryan became

23:41very jealous

23:42and very angry

23:44to see me

23:46even talking

23:47to other contestants.

23:49On the show,

23:50I had to kiss

23:51all of the guys.

23:52It's a dating show.

23:54And he had a hard time

23:56watching me

23:57kiss the other contestants.

24:00On March 8th,

24:02he wrote a message,

24:03seeing you kiss my bro

24:05was hard to deal with.

24:08Having been in Playboy

24:10or working with Playboy

24:11as a woman,

24:12you can encounter

24:13men in your relationships

24:14who are really

24:15attracted to that,

24:17but they're also

24:18simultaneously

24:19very, very jealous,

24:20insecure,

24:20and can't handle it.

24:22Ryan Jenkins

24:23was absolutely,

24:25fiercely jealous

24:26of Jasmine.

24:27She so much

24:28as talked

24:28or text to a guy,

24:30he was going

24:30to be jealous.

24:31He was prone

24:32to violence.

24:33I had no idea

24:34that he was

24:35previously arrested

24:36for domestic violence.

24:38The show did

24:39some type

24:40of background checks,

24:41but the background

24:43check company

24:44missed it.

24:45From what I heard,

24:47he had his

24:49previous arrest

24:50expunged

24:51in Canada.

24:52Apparently in Las Vegas,

24:56about a month

24:57after they got married,

24:59he started talking

24:59with someone,

25:00got jealous,

25:01pushed her into the pool,

25:03and he was arrested

25:05for storming

25:05on domestic violence

25:06in Las Vegas.

25:08And he wound up

25:09spending a night

25:10in jail for that.

25:11And that case

25:12was still pending.

25:13I hadn't gone to court yet

25:14when her homicide happened

25:16four months later.

25:19I met my husband

25:20like five months

25:21before marrying him.

25:23So Jasmine

25:25gravitated towards me

25:26because we kind of

25:27had the same

25:28situation

25:29in her eyes.

25:32She asked me advice

25:33on how I handle

25:35when things get rough

25:36because he said

25:38something like

25:38he gets angry,

25:39I don't know

25:40how to deal with it.

25:41And I go,

25:42I understand,

25:44my husband gets angry

25:45as well,

25:46get him a man cave,

25:47try to keep busy.

25:49Just basically

25:50like girls like I know,

25:51aren't they terrible,

25:52aren't husbands terrible,

25:53just basic girl talk

25:55like that.

25:57I was just thinking

25:58it was more like

25:59my marriage.

26:01I didn't realize

26:01how much she was

26:04going through.

26:06Our staff was trying

26:06to call her to say,

26:07hey, are you going

26:08to be involved this year?

26:08and we didn't get

26:09any return phone calls.

26:12She just stopped

26:13coming around

26:14and generally

26:16when something

26:17happens like that,

26:18you always wonder

26:19is somebody okay?

26:20Because usually people

26:22just don't shut you

26:23off like that.

26:23in June 2009,

26:30Ryan came back

26:31to LA

26:32and called me

26:34and asked me

26:35if I wanted to

26:36go out to dinner

26:36with him

26:37and I agreed.

26:41Ryan looked like

26:42he had lost

26:43several pounds,

26:44his face

26:45was very thin,

26:46he was very pale,

26:47he was shaky,

26:49he was paranoid,

26:52he was just

26:53not himself anymore.

26:57Ryan told me

26:59that Jasmine

27:00was ruining his life

27:02but he's also

27:03obsessed with

27:04her not leaving him

27:06because he wants

27:07to win.

27:08He just can't

27:09accept any

27:10like rejection.

27:13So I convinced

27:13Ryan to be

27:14on season three

27:15of VH1's

27:17Isle of Money

27:17for the sole fact

27:19that I thought

27:20it would separate

27:21him from Jasmine

27:22for a while

27:22and he really

27:24needed to be

27:25away from her.

27:27They didn't

27:28love each other,

27:29he didn't even

27:30like her

27:31and she didn't

27:31like him.

27:33I told him

27:33leave Jasmine

27:34and get some space

27:36from her

27:37and just go

27:37get away

27:38from everything.

27:40Me meeting

27:41with him

27:41and her finding

27:43out set off

27:44a big chain

27:45of events

27:45between the two

27:46of them.

27:47Ryan filmed

27:56I Love Money 3

27:57early July

27:58the summer

27:59of 2009.

28:00By the time

28:01he went to Mexico

28:02to shoot

28:03the second reality

28:05show I Love Money

28:06part three

28:07Jasmine dyed

28:08her hair.

28:09She just wanted

28:10to become

28:11a different person

28:12and she was

28:14actively trying

28:16to get

28:17their marriage

28:18annulled,

28:19kaput,

28:20ended.

28:22Producers

28:22told me

28:23that he was

28:24so obsessed

28:25with winning

28:26the money

28:27so that maybe

28:28he could win

28:28back his wife

28:29and he would

28:31just call her

28:32all the time

28:33from the show

28:34trying to keep

28:37an eye on her.

28:39On July 27th

28:41Jenkins sends

28:42this plaintive

28:43email to Jasmine.

28:44I want you back.

28:46I'm going to do better.

28:48I can't live

28:49without you.

28:49I need you.

28:51Now, how did

28:52they end up

28:53back together?

28:55Maybe she was

28:56giving him

28:56one last shot

28:57or maybe

28:59she was just

29:00hanging out

29:01until she

29:03could be done

29:03with him.

29:04It's hard to say.

29:05Everybody wants

29:07to look

29:07from the outside

29:08and say,

29:09well, the first time

29:10you saw a red flag

29:11you should have left

29:11and it's not like that

29:12when you're in it at all.

29:14Like, you spend

29:14the early part

29:15of a relationship

29:16seeing the best

29:17of a person

29:17and you want to

29:18move forward

29:19in a relationship

29:20thinking it can get better.

29:21You think that

29:22the first thing

29:22that went wrong

29:23is a one-time thing.

29:24That person apologizes.

29:26It can take a lot

29:27for the average person

29:28to get out

29:29of an abusive relationship.

29:35So, rather manhunt

29:37for what Ryan Jenkins

29:37is going on.

29:39This case

29:40had broken

29:41open in the news.

29:43On all the celebrity pages

29:44it was on, you know,

29:46ABC, NBC, CBS.

29:48Police say 28-year-old

29:49Jasmine Fiori

29:50was strangled.

29:50The media coverage

29:51surrounding Jasmine's death

29:53was really brutal.

29:54You know,

29:55this came at a time

29:56when there was

29:56all kinds of

29:57new tabloid media

29:58chasing the story.

30:01People were searching

30:02for nude photos

30:03of her online.

30:04It was like

30:04one of the top

30:05searches.

30:06It just goes to show,

30:08you know,

30:08the appetite

30:08for how sensational

30:11this case was.

30:13You can't listen

30:14to the radio

30:14or turn on the TV

30:16without seeing it.

30:18I mean,

30:18even I was dumbfounded

30:19about how this

30:20became such a big story.

30:22Police have found

30:22some key evidence

30:23in the case

30:24of murdered model

30:24Jasmine Fiori.

30:27We're doing such once.

30:29We put a rush on it.

30:30We got Jasmine's

30:31cell phone number

30:32and we got Ryan's

30:34cell phone number.

30:34That immediately

30:35gives me

30:36not only photographs

30:38and videos,

30:39but it gives me

30:39the text messages.

30:41And we found out

30:42the day before

30:43she died,

30:44they went to a poker

30:45tournament in San Diego.

30:47We had a team

30:48of detectives

30:49go to San Diego

30:50to investigate

30:51the poker tournament

30:52and the hotel

30:54where they stayed.

30:56And it turns out

30:57that the hotel

30:57has an extensive

30:58video system.

30:59that's the smoking gun.

31:03That allowed us

31:04to piece together

31:05Jasmine's final moments

31:07with Ryan Jenkins

31:08and figure out

31:10what happened

31:11to Jasmine.

31:11On August 13th, 2009,

31:19we see them arriving

31:20at 3.28 in the afternoon.

31:24We see Jasmine's call

31:26pulling up.

31:27They took her

31:27at Mercedes.

31:29We see them get

31:30out of the vehicle.

31:32We see all their luggage

31:34being loaded onto

31:35one of those luggage dollies.

31:37One of the pieces

31:39of luggage

31:40is the same piece

31:41of luggage

31:41that her body

31:42was found in.

31:44So they'll stay

31:45on the ground floor.

31:46They go to their room.

31:48We don't see them again

31:49until 6.25

31:51when they're leaving

31:52the hotel room

31:53and both of them

31:53are decked out

31:54for a night to go out

31:55to this poker tournament.

31:59So we learned

32:00during the poker tournament

32:01she was texting

32:02a new person of interest,

32:04a gentleman

32:05the name of Robert Hasman.

32:07The former boyfriend.

32:09Robert Hasman

32:09was a high-end realtor

32:11in greater Las Vegas.

32:14He showed her

32:15the finer side of life

32:16at the very highest

32:18of levels.

32:22On the night

32:23she goes missing

32:23she sends a text

32:25to Robert Hasman

32:26saying,

32:27send a plane for me.

32:28Come get me.

32:29I'm coming back

32:30to Vegas to be with you.

32:31I am done

32:32with Ryan Jenkins.

32:34At the poker tournament

32:37Ryan and Jasmine

32:38started getting

32:39into an argument

32:40to the point

32:41where they decided

32:42they needed to go.

32:46They went after hours

32:48to this nightclub

32:49slash hotel

32:50called the Ivy.

32:51They arrived at the Ivy

32:53around 12.30 a.m.

32:55Witnesses from the Ivy

32:56say they really started

32:57getting into an argument

32:59at this point.

32:59and I think

33:01it's because

33:01he may have discovered

33:02the text messages

33:03she had been sending

33:04to her ex-boyfriend

33:05Robert Hasman.

33:07And so Robert Hasman

33:09said that the last

33:09text message

33:10he received

33:11from Jasmine

33:12was suck it.

33:14Which was

33:15out of characteristics

33:17with everything

33:18she had been texting him

33:20up to that point.

33:21And we know

33:23who sent that text.

33:24Ryan Jenkins

33:25sent that text.

33:28According to witnesses

33:29they leave the Ivy

33:30at 1.30 a.m.

33:31in the morning.

33:32They go back

33:33to pick up her vehicle

33:34at the poker tournament.

33:36This is the last time

33:37anyone sees

33:38Jasmine Feero.

33:40She's not upset.

33:41She's not crying.

33:43They left

33:44the casino

33:45at 2.30

33:46in the morning.

33:48We don't see

33:49Ryan Jenkins again

33:50until 4.30

33:51in the morning

33:51roughly those times.

33:53So there's a

33:54two-hour period

33:55missing him.

33:56I realized

33:57something happened.

33:58From the time

33:58they left

33:59where the poker

34:00tournament was

34:01to the time

34:01we next see him

34:03running to his hotel room

34:04he looks panicked

34:05and in a rush.

34:07You can see

34:09what the catalyst

34:10for Jenkins'

34:13rage and jealousy

34:14was

34:15because

34:16when we look

34:17at her phone

34:18after the fact

34:19she had been

34:20texting Robert

34:21all night long

34:22saying

34:23I'm coming back

34:24to Vegas.

34:25I want to be with you.

34:27And he's just like

34:28how could you do this

34:29to me?

34:30You're my love.

34:31You're my life.

34:32He snaps

34:32and he beats them.

34:39The video surveillance

34:40never shows

34:41Jasmine entering the room

34:42but we know

34:43that the parking lot

34:45is right behind

34:46their room.

34:46they have a small patio

34:48and you have access

34:49directly to the patio

34:50from the parking lot.

34:51We searched the room.

34:53We didn't find

34:54anything in the room.

34:55The room had already

34:56been serviced

34:57by the maid service

34:57but on the back patio

34:59we found

35:01slivers of hail

35:02and a little bit of blood

35:03which matches

35:04that Jasmine field.

35:06We see Ryan

35:07running around

35:08frantically

35:08coming into the room.

35:10This indicates to us

35:11is that she was not

35:12able to walk

35:13on her own

35:14and he didn't want

35:15to bring her through

35:16the hotel lobby.

35:19Takes her onto the porch

35:20runs around

35:21goes into the room

35:22with his passkey

35:23opens the back door

35:25and brings her

35:26inside the room.

35:29And according to witnesses

35:30who were in rooms

35:32opposite of those

35:33they're arguing.

35:35He cannot obviously

35:37convince her

35:38not to press charges

35:39not to call the police

35:41and he snaps.

35:49Three weeks into

35:50Megan wants a millionaire

35:51and bearing

35:52there was breaking news

35:54on the TV.

35:56Police named a suspect

35:57in the brutal killing

35:58of model Jasmine Fiore.

36:00It's her ex-husband

36:02Ryan Jenkins.

36:03I was in the shower

36:04and my roommate

36:05ran into the shower

36:06and said Ryan's on TV.

36:08He killed her.

36:10And that there was

36:11an international

36:12manhunt for Ryan.

36:15I immediately thought

36:16it was an accident.

36:18I didn't think that

36:19he could have

36:20purposely killed her.

36:25He strangled her to death

36:27in the hotel room

36:29in San Diego.

36:32And then as an afterthought

36:34he's thinking

36:35how do I keep

36:36who from being found?

36:37If they find her

36:38I don't want them

36:38to identify her

36:39I believe he

36:41took her into

36:42the bathtub

36:43shower area

36:44and cut off her fingers.

36:45I believe

36:46he flushed them

36:47down the toilet

36:47and teeth fragments

36:49were still inside

36:50of her mouth

36:50and inside the bag.

36:53After killing her

36:54cutting off her fingers

36:56breaking out teeth

36:57he put her

36:58in her suitcase

36:59zips it closed

37:00takes it out

37:01the back

37:02of the room

37:03onto the patio area

37:05and then into

37:06the vehicle.

37:10We can deduct this

37:12because none of the

37:13luggage came out

37:14the front.

37:17Next time we see

37:18Ryan is at 6.24 a.m.

37:19and he's leaving

37:20the room

37:21with what looks like

37:22his clothing

37:23in his arms

37:24stacked up.

37:26According to

37:31our search

37:32once

37:32we were able

37:33to watch

37:33Ryan drive

37:34from the hotel

37:35up the freeway.

37:37My theory is

37:38he's looking for

37:39a place to dump

37:39the body.

37:40Can't find one.

37:43Now

37:44he's going

37:45northbound the 5

37:46in that beach

37:46boulevard.

37:48He sees

37:48a bunch of

37:49apartment complexes.

37:50He sees a dump

37:51store.

37:52He opens

37:52the dump

37:53store

37:53and sees

37:53that it's empty.

37:54He takes

37:55the suitcase

37:56out of his

37:56claw

37:57that Jasmine's

37:57body is in

37:58and he heaves

37:59it into

38:00the trash can.

38:03We now have

38:04a warrant

38:04for the arrest

38:05of Ryan

38:06Alexander Jenkins

38:07for the murder

38:09of Jasmine.

38:11We're one step

38:12behind him

38:13and we feel

38:14we're getting

38:14real close

38:14to him.

38:16But I know

38:17that he knows

38:18that he's on the run.

38:19His reputation

38:20is him

38:21being a killer

38:22a monster.

38:22That was how

38:23he was being

38:24identified.

38:25So I could only

38:25imagine he was

38:26desperate.

38:28Ryan Jenkins

38:29went to Vegas.

38:30He went to a

38:30storage unit.

38:31He got his

38:32wakeboard boat.

38:33We got information

38:34that he hitched it

38:35to his BMW

38:36and then he

38:37travels north.

38:39To Washington.

38:41We notified

38:42the U.S. border

38:43in case he decides

38:44to cross into Canada.

38:46And we brought

38:46the Royal Canadian

38:47Mounties into it.

38:48We get information

38:51that there was

38:51a speedboat

38:52speeding near

38:53the Canadian

38:54border in the U.S.

38:55The United States

38:56Coast Guard

38:57spots Ryan Jenkins

38:58in this boat.

38:59It's at night.

39:01It's high seas.

39:03Ryan's out

39:04in the open ocean

39:05in his boat.

39:06They're trying

39:06to stop him.

39:08But they

39:09literally lost him.

39:13Ryan brought

39:14his boat back

39:15and popped it

39:16at a marina

39:18half a mile

39:19from the Canadian

39:20border and took

39:21off on foot.

39:23He was able

39:24to walk into

39:25Canada where

39:26there is no

39:26border crossing.

39:28There's no

39:29fence.

39:29There's no

39:29nothing.

39:30It's just a

39:31ditch that

39:32separates the U.S.

39:33and Canada.

39:34So anyone

39:35can just cross it.

39:38And then

39:39his sister came

39:40and picked him up.

39:42And she drove

39:43him to Hope,

39:44Canada.

39:44And he checked

39:46into the

39:46Thunderbird Motel.

39:48I believe he felt

39:49an enormous amount

39:50of guilt for what

39:51he did.

39:53I think he felt

39:54even more guilt

39:56that he couldn't

39:57get away with it

39:58and that his life

40:00was ruined and

40:01he was not going

40:01to spend it in

40:02prison, which

40:04is why he hung

40:05himself.

40:05So when they found

40:13his body, they also

40:14found his last

40:16will and testament.

40:18I'm sure everyone

40:20feels I'm a monster.

40:21Let me tell you that

40:22Jasmine was in fact

40:24a far greater monster

40:25than I could ever be.

40:27I merely wanted to

40:28love someone.

40:28My heart

40:30and love for her

40:31was pure

40:31and powerful.

40:33It drove me

40:34and brought out

40:34the very best

40:35in me.

40:36I'm sorry for

40:36running away

40:37from responsibility.

40:39There is just

40:40no place for me

40:41in this world

40:42anymore.

40:44Jasmine

40:44was the key

40:45to my happiness.

40:47You know, you

40:50always think,

40:51God, what could

40:52I have done?

40:53Like, I wish I

40:54told her to get

40:55away from him,

40:55but I didn't know

40:56to what level

40:58they were fighting

41:00or how bad

41:01he was.

41:04He stole

41:05everything from

41:06her, you know?

41:08He destroyed

41:09her.

41:10I mean, how much

41:10havoc can one

41:11monster create

41:12on this earth?

41:13He's the worst

41:14of the worst

41:15and he deserves

41:16every bit of hell

41:18that he no doubt

41:19made.

41:21Jasmine was robbed

41:22of dreams

41:23and ambitions

41:24and there's

41:25no excuse

41:26for that.

41:29The H1

41:29canceled the show.

41:31That ended

41:32my reality TV

41:33career.

41:33That ended

41:34my modeling

41:34career.

41:35People just

41:36didn't want

41:37to be associated.
