Ryan Jenkins Suicide Note Found

October 6, 2009 by m.coonce · Leave a Comment 

Reality television contestant Ryan Jenkins left a note on his computer three days before hanging himself in a hotel room.

Jenkins, a suspect in the brutal murder of his swimsuit model wife, Jasmine Fiore, blames her for their unsuccessful marriage, saying she was beautiful, he loved her, and she made him jealous by sleeping with former boyfriends.

Although ostensibly a will, investigators consider the note found on the hard drive of the Megan Wants a Millionaire contestant’s computer a “suicide note” because it provides insight into what he was thinking.

Fiore’s body was found stuffed in a suitcase in a trash bin last August. She had been dismembered, with her teeth and fingertips removed, and was identified by serial numbers on her breast implants.

Jenkins does not deny nor admit to Fiore’s murder in the one-and-a-half page letter — glaringly omitting the manner in which she died, or that he was a suspect in her death.

The will contains personal requests for money and assets to go to specific family members, and an apology to his family and friends for “all the pain and suffering” they would be going through.

Members of Jenkins’ family have never believed he committed the murder.
