Man wanted in Swimsuit Model’s Murder Escaped Into Canada (1)
A former reality show finalist wanted for questioning in his model ex-wife’s murder apparently escaped on foot into Canada, according to the Whatcom County sheriff’s office in Washington state.
Deputies in Bellingham, Wash., received word Wednesday that Ryan Alexander Jenkins, 32, could be in the county.
Following up on a report that a man matching Jenkins’ description arrived by boat at Point Roberts, deputies found a black BMW SUV and an empty boat trailer at a marina in Blaine. TMZ.com reported that Jenkins was seen driving the SUV with the boat in tow, and police found both abandoned.
Police believe he walked across the border to British Columbia, Canada. A manhunt ensued by land, air and sea, but Jenkins hasn’t been found.

If he did it he’s toast. Literally.
California has the death penalty.

That “model” looks dreadful. Surely plastic surgery gone bad? Anyway if this guy did it I hope he doesn’t come across some hippie type bureaucrats who refuse to turn him over due to the death penalty factor.

Latest news aka Fox is there is an arrest warrent out for him. If, as suspected, he is in Canada, will the bleeding hearts fight to keep him in Canada, like they are fighting to get Khdar home.

For a while, they were calling him a “person of interest” but they’re upped the ante…
