The mother of a former swimsuit model found dead in a trash bin said a former reality television contestant wanted for questioning in the case was briefly married to her daughter.
Lisa Lepore said her 28-year-old daughter Jasmine Fiore married Ryan Jenkins in Las Vegas in March, but had the marriage annulled in May. However, she said Jenkins convinced her daughter to take him back.
Fiore's nude body was found stuffed in a suitcase in a Buena Park trash bin on Saturday. Officials said she may have been strangled.
Jenkins appeared on the reality TV show "Megan Wants a Millionaire." Police said he may be heading to his native Canada.
Lepore said her daughter modeled about two years ago but had left the business.
