The standard of proof in a civil suit is a lot lighter (Balance of probabilities) than that in a criminal indictment (Beyond a reasonable doubt).Quote:

Not that I knew Ryan all that well... but this whole thing is a shock, and undoubtedly hard on both families and friends involved. You wouldnt wish this (from either side) on anyone.
While some see suicide as the easy way out, IMO it was the best thing for him to do. It may not give the other side involved closure on Jasmines death, but it gives a quick ending to this whole saga for everyone else. Some may see it differently, but I see it as a way of admitting guilt, and one way of taking responsibility of your actions. (Lets face it, if he stayed in California, he would have been put up for the death penalty anyways)
I guess now the big thing is finding out who the driver of the PT Cruiser with Alberta plates was... Im guessing it won't be that hard to poll his friends.
RIP to both of you...
Kinda ironic how he went to Hope to commit suicide. :dunno:

So who is the mystery woman?
PT Cruisers are common as rentals but if the tinted window description is accurate then its likely not a rental and a personal car instead.

As for the mystery woman who accompanied him, she was very pretty, between 20-25 years old and was "extremely calm" when she checked in. The manager says he was a bit suspicious when they first pulled up in a PT Cruiser. The car pulled up -- ironically -- next to a dumpster rather than in a parking spot. He waited in the car while she checked him in. She left 20 minutes after Jenkins checked in and has not been seen again.

Meanwhile, police are searching for a mystery woman who checked into the Thunderbird Motel on Thursday while Jenkins waited in the car, a Chrysler PT Cruiser with tinted windows and Alberta plates.
Motel manager Kevin Walker described her as an attractive blonde in her early 20s who paid cash for three nights stay. He never saw the woman again, though another guest said she left after 20 minutes
They won't have a hard time finding her. She must've gotten gas along the way back to Alberta, there's only so many gas stations out there, and they all have cameras nowadays.
Getting charged for aiding, abetting and harbouring a fugitive's gonna suck once she gets ID'd.
it was the pretty assitant of his!!
What I'm wondering is how did he manage to 'hang' himself in a hotel room.
Especially when the manager said to have found him hanging from the coat rack and his feet was touching the ground.
This is what the mystery woman looks like expect she has or have had blonde hair.

A source that was with the couple shortly before Fiore died told ABC News about the couple's "blow-out fight in front of everyone" in San Diego overnight Aug. 13-14 -- the last night she was seen alive.Quote:

"Jasmine was playing poker with a big group of friends at the Hilton Hotel," the source said. "She was being very rude and kept putting Ryan down. It was really awkward. She has a cutting sense of humor. He was getting really angry, and it totally set the tone for the rest of the evening."

I dunno...I knew him quite well and I don't think he could have been well mentally to do this. RIP sorta applies to him because he must have had major problems upstairs...Quote:

Either way, his family DOES deserve respect and the peace of this dying down...
RIP to her though...
If your motivated then you don't need a lot of space to hang yourself. It's a slow death from loss of blood flow to the brain vs a traditional hanging that snaps the neck.Quote:

Pretty sloppy on his part...
1) Calls her in missing. Why would you do that... just leave town with the body, if you're both off grid it'll be at least a week or two before people start getting suspicious.
2) Dumps her in a dumpster... when you have a boat? Dump the body overboard, get back into Canada, liquidate as much of your assets as you can in a 2-3 day period and buy a plane ticket to a country that has a non-extradition clause with US/CAN.
Although I have to say... I'm surprised he made it into Canada, and even got someone to get him into a hotel room.
On the flip side... major plus that he hung himself. Getting him extradited, tried, convicted, and held in prison either indefinitely or until he got executed would've cost a shitload of taxpayer money.
one less competitor on the market.... :poosie: oh i am so going to hell...:facepalm:Quote:

Because everyone thinks logically and rationally after taking the life of another human being.Quote:

It's the perfect ending. The loser is dead, and it cost taxpayers nothing to deal with him, on either side of the border.
You can't ask for a better outcome. Thanks for saving us a ton of hassles & costs, Mr. Douchebag.
Oh wait... I probably should be a little more sensitive, right? ;)
