The former boyfriend of a brutally murdered model called the fleeing suspect in her death an "animal" Thursday as California police revealed that the woman's fingers and teeth had been removed।

Robert Hasman, the former boyfriend, spoke for the family of victim Jasmine Fiore at an afternoon news conference with police। Hasman described Fiore as "beautiful and caring" and urged people to turn in her ex-husband, Ryan Jenkins, a former reality TV contestant who is accused of her murder.

"Jenkins is an animal. What he has done to Jasmine is unspeakable," Hasman said.

Fiore, 28, was found last weekend strangled, stuffed in a suitcase and thrown into a trash bin.

Buena Park Police Chief Tom Monson said his department has had officers working "every waking moment" since the discovery of Fiore's body.

Jenkins, 32, met Fiore in March when he finished filming the VH1 series "Megan Wants a Millionaire." One count of murder was filed against Jenkins earlier Thursday and an arrest warrant issued, but police think he has fled to his native Canada.

His black BMW SUV, with a boat trailer attached, was found in Blaine, Wash।, Monson said. The boat was discovered in Port Washington, just south of Canada.

"We will look under every rock for him. ... He is officially a wanted man," Thomas Eshen, chief inspector with the U.S. Marshal's Office, said at the news conference.

Eschen said anyone who assists Jenkins in his escape is subject to being charged with aiding and abetting a fugitive. He also said that papers have been filed to prepare an arrest warrant for him in Canada.

Canadian Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan said police agencies across Canada are on the lookout for Jenkins. Police in the Canadian border city of Delta said U.S authorities contacted them late Wednesday for assistance.

Constable Sharlene Brooks said ground, air and canine units are involved in the search.

If Jenkins is found in Canada, Brooks said he could face charges of entering the country illegally despite his Canadian citizenship।

Jenkins is from Calgary, Alberta, about 600 miles east of Point Roberts. Acting Calgary Police Chief Al Redford said a fugitive apprehension unit is checking with Jenkins' connections and associates in the city.

TMZ.com reported that only three weeks before Fiore's murder, Jenkins sent her an email telling her he loved her.

"Your (sic) my angel, despite what we've done to each other," he wrote.

After taping for the VH1 series finished, Jenkins met Fiore in a Las Vegas casino and the two soon got married, Fiore's mother, Lisa Lepore, said.

But in May, "they had a big blowout," Lepore said. "She had the marriage annulled."

Jenkins, variously described as an architect, real estate developer and investment banker from Calgary, appeared in three episodes of the series "Megan Wants a Millionaire," about a woman seeking to land a wealthy bachelor by putting suitors through their paces, such as designing a marketing campaign for her pet Chihuahua.

On the show, Jenkins was identified as an investment banker who had a couple million dollars.

Jenkins earned the nickname "Smooth Operator" because of "his cheeky cockiness," said Rob Locke, who played the host, a butler named Niles. "And I mean that in a friendly way."

Court records show that Jenkins was charged in June in Clark County, Nev., with a misdemeanor count of "battery constituting domestic violence" for hitting Fiore in the arm and will be tried in December.

Fiore was last seen alive with Jenkins at a poker game in San Diego. Jenkins reported her missing Saturday night to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, police said.
