Canadian police probe whether suspected killer Ryan Jenkins had help
Jenkins was found dead in a British Columbia motel room Sunday night. He apparently committed suicide and police are focusing on a woman who they said was with the former reality TV star when he checked in.
Canadian authorities on Monday refused to identify her and described her as a "person of interest" in the case who knew him previously.
"We're exploring those avenues and we're continuing to investigate," said Sgt. Duncan Pound, spokesman for the Federal Border Integrity Program of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. "We kept our mind open to the fact that he had roots in Canada, friends and family members in Canada."
The manager of the Thunderbird Motel said Jenkins "bore no resemblance" to the photos distributed as part of the international search aimed at capturing him.
(...) He said the woman left about 20 minutes after Jenkins checked in.
Law enforcement sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing, said they believe Jenkins received some help but would not elaborate. The sources also said they are investigating whether Jenkins got help in disposing of Fiore's body.
