A millionaire reality TV star is being sought by police over the murder of a model whose body was found in a Californian dumpster. 28-year-old Jasmine Fiore was found dead in an unzipped suitcase in Buena Park, Orange County.
Police are seeking real estate tycoon Ryan Jenkins, 32, a contestant on the reality show Megan Wants a Millionaire, in which former Rock of Love hopeful Megan Hauserman dates several rich men with the aim of ultimately becoming the girlfriend of one of them. Jenkins reportedly met Fiore at a Las Vegas strip club and married her two days later.
Jenkins reported the swimsuit model missing hours after the discovery of her body. Since then he has not returned calls from investigators and is considered a person of interest. Police suspect he may be on the run and are trying to trace him as well as a black and white Mercedes car he may be driving.
It is thought that Jenkins may have returned to his homeland of Canada. Fiore, who had worked for Playboy, had been strangled according to police. Her body was found by someone searching for goods to recycle. She was last seen alive at 8:30 p.m. on Friday and had not contacted her family since then.

There are many trucks out there for a person to choose from when in the market for a different vehicle. It can become a daunting decision process, and how best should a person go about navigating their way through it? Often they may start by thinking about what color of truck they want, and this is far from the place to start. A few choices may wish to be thought about to make the selections easier.
Used Or New

Part of the decision making process may be deciding between a brand new vehicle that has zero miles on it and something that may have been around the block a couple of times already. If this is the case here are a few things a person may wish to consider. Buying new versus used Navara pickup trucks comes down to financial investment. Getting a vehicle that’s never come off a lot has a hefty price ticket. Sure it’s possible to get everything exactly the way a person wants it, but at what price? The adage that a new truck loses half its value in depreciation the minute it leaves the lot is very accurate. Why not invest the money a little more wisely, such as considering used Navara pickup trucks that retain an excellent resale value? Often these vehicles have already had any of the new bugs worked out with that first owner while still maintaining low mileage. These are great qualities in any financial investment, especially a vehicle.
Why Pick Used Navara Pickup Trucks Versus Other Automobiles
Quality Navaras often have full leather interiors, in addition to satellite navigation. They come with sunroofs, and most have air conditioning. These vehicles offer enough luxury to make a driver feel they are in a stretch limo, while still being able to work alongside some of the huskiest vehicles. Being able to have four wheel drive and get out of any sticky situation will go a long way to making a driver feel very confident with the vehicle there in. Having room without being forced to drive around in the biggest of the trucks is a luxury in itself. They have many makes available to let a person select between colors, extra options, climate control and anti-theft systems.
The Best Places To Get Used Navara Pickup Trucks
Getting in touch with a quality dealer may be as simple as doing a little research to get a person started on the right track. This may mean going online and checking out different sales lots and their reviews, finding out what they have to offer and then seeing if it fits what a person may need in a vehicle. Ask questions, look at what’s being offered and don’t be afraid to really get familiar with the vehicle before it’s purchased. This will only lead to a driver having more satisfaction with their new truck because they have taken the time to find the qualities they most need before making a purchase and taking the truck home.

The Internet is very much present at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2007, not just, like in previous years, as a means for the journalists who have 80 workplaces for their own notebooks to report on the fair, but like before as a chance – and as a threat for rights-owners of digital media.
After a marginal existence in the previous year, bloggers have got their own “living room 2.0” at the fair, furnished with everything a blogger needs, including media attention. Every day from Wednesday October 10 to Sunday October 14 they will write and podcast about the big names to meet, the events not to be missed and their very personal experiences and thoughts. Three of the bloggers write in English, two English language podcasts are done, to widen the reach of the Book Fair 2.0. The blog entries and podcasts will be available until after the book fair at http://www.book-fair.com/en/wordpress/ and the bloggers themselves can be visited on the weekend at hall 4.2, Q411, though until now it is more the media and less the visitors of the fair, the bloggers come in contact with.
Digitalization and digital media, especially books and magazines offered digitally, are a hot topic at this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair, as more and more publishers want to see the digital counterparts of their traditional media not just as a field to be present in, but as a possible profit center. With scientific books, this move already was quite successful: Publishing house Springer for example, offering over 40,000 ebooks and over 1700 electronic magazines, of which over 1200 are still actively continued with Springer, nowadays does an ebook-variant of every traditional scientific book they print – and already has the largest part of their cash-flow from digital media.
This is harder for fiction publishing houses as the Pabel Möwig group (VPM), which has become active early. They do offer the digitized new adventures of – say, the outer-space-hero Perry Rhodan -, but the turnover is still only a small addition to the print and other media versions. Readers become readier to read on a screen, but their readiness is still growing slowly. Since a new generation of readers is growing up using the internet as a reference work – especially Google and Wikipedia – it will become more and more natural in the future.
A growing number of service companies in the publishing sector therefore offers re-digitalization apart from increasingly effective content management systems, with which new forms of media can easily be compiled from the contents of a data base.
Older works, of which the publishing house owns the rights, but for which a reprint might not be profitable, are scanned, divided into content sections and tagged. When the original type face isn’t good enough, books are typewritten in third world countries two or three times which are corrected and merged into a final version. Once in the system, digitalized books can be at disposal as MobiPocket ebooks or Print On Demand (POD) and with aid of the Amazon BookSurge program remain available, possibly even within 24 hours.
Digital content can also be used as a marketing-tool with the “Search Inside” from Amazon.com, where the full text of a book is visible but only small parts of the book are shown at a time.
Right after Amazon, Google also presented their own projects for the digitalization of books, where publishers have the option of just sending a box or container full of their books in printed form and leave the job of digitalization to Google, where afterwards their content will be findable with Google Book Search. The difference between those two internet services was obvious, though: Amazon wants to earn money with books, while Google’s business is advertising, their revenue model is AdSense and AdWords, targeted as perfect as possible with full text search. Both services had to answer questions as to how they will protect the content from unpaid exploitation, as probably fewer and fewer users will be willing to pay for a digital eBook when they can read the content for free, up to twenty pages at a time. The freeloader mentality of many Internet users was seen as a threat by many of the publishers.
