A murdered Playboy model's body was only identified thanks to her breast implants after her killer left the key pieces of evidence behind when trying to cover his tracks. Jasmine Fiore, 28, went missing and was later found brutally murdered in 2009, with the culprit later being established as her husband, Ryan Jenkins. The blonde model's killing is set to be featured on Holly Madison's The Playboy Murders TV series, exploring the murders of people connected to the iconic publication. Madison herself is a former girlfriend of the late Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner and has spoken out about her experiences of life at the Mansion and the "controlling" relationship the pair had. <img class="wp-image-1263191041 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/01/P2CA90.jpg" alt="" width="2066" height="2420" />[[imagecaption|| Jasmine Fiore's fingers and teeth were removed to prevent her body being identified.

Fiore disappeared on August 14, 2009, after she and Jenkins checked into a hotel together in San Diego, and were last seen heading to a nightclub together. Fiore was never seen alive again. Just a day later, her body was discovered badly beaten in a suitcase in a dumpster in an alley, but efforts to remove her fingers and teeth meant it was not possible to initially identify who the deceased was. The mutilation was thought to be to prevent dental records and fingerprints from being used to identify the body, however, Jenkins had left some key pieces of evidence behind. Fiore's breast implants were later found to have unique serial numbers on them, meaning investigators were able to confirm it was her in the suitcase. Her white Mercedes car was also found abandoned in a parking lot around a mile from the penthouse the couple had shared in Fairfax District, Los Angeles, with police reporting that significant amounts of blood and evidence of hair-pulling was found inside. Jenkins, who was the only suspect in her murder, reported Fiore missing on August 15, claiming that he had last seen her at their home on the evening of the night before, after she had dropped him home and left to run errands, never returning. <img class="wp-image-1263191042 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/01/2F1C66C-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1703" />[[imagecaption|| Ryan Jenkins took his own life after fleeing arrest.

Fiore's body was formally identified on August 18, which Jenkins found out the following day after phoning his father. Jenkins was charged with Fiore's murder on August 20 with a warrant being issued for his arrest. He had called his father, who was detained at the airport, but his father had to hang up the call. Around 6:00 PM, Jenkins arrived at the Thunderbird Motel in British Colombia, Canada, with a young blonde woman, who paid for three nights' accommodation on his behalf, staying with him for around 20 minutes before leaving the hotel. She was later identified as his half-sister, Alana Jenkins. Jenkins was seen by the hotel manager on August 21 walking around outside, but did not recognize him from his picture on television, stating that he looked "exhausted". When he failed to check out on August 23, he was found dead after having taken his own life. While he did not leave a note at the motel, police later found a document on his computer titled "Last Will and Testament", which was dated August 20, 2009.

She was a victim of a horrific crime and involved in an abusive relationship. "I’ve also been in relationships that were abusive. I can relate to her so much." She added: "They’re all incredibly compelling, real-life stories that could happen to anyone."
