The Fiore/Jenkins Saga: Star 80 Again?
Jasmine Fiore thought it was true love when, earlier this year, she wed investment banker turned reality-television star Ryan Jenkins. Their courtship lasted 2 days. Fast forward to August 15th, when her strangled body sans fingers and teeth was found inside a suitcase in a trash bin behind her apartment in Orange County. Her breast implants provided the only clue to her identity. The suspected killer was none other than Jenkins, who fled to a motel room in Canada to end his life. In an interview on NBC’s Today Show, Fiore’s mother, Lisa Lepore, stated his death brought the beginning of much-needed closure to this terrible ordeal and that he is no longer a threat to others. Lady Justice shudders at the thought – could Fiore’s life will now be the fodder of a movie similar to Star 80, the 1983 vehicle about Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten who met a similar fate at the hands of her husband.
