Police seek missing car in murder of ex-model

[August 25, 2009]  BUENA PARK, Calif. (AP) -- Police who sought a reality show contestant in the Southern California slaying of his ex-wife have still not located the crime scene and believe the victim's missing white Mercedes-Benz could be the key.

Buena Park police Sgt. William Kohanek said Monday the car is part of a "big unsolved puzzle" as they try to determine where ex-model Jasmine Fiore was killed.

Fiore's body was found Aug. 15 in a trash bin. Her fingers and teeth were missing.

Orange County prosecutors charged her ex-husband, Ryan Jenkins, with murder and launched an international manhunt.

Jenkins, who appeared on VH-1's "Megan Wants a Millionaire," was found dead Sunday in a motel room in his native Canada.

The missing car is a white 2007 Mercedes-Benz CL S550 with a black top and black rims.
