Swimsuit Model Jasmine Fiore Identified by Breast Implants

Swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore was positively identified by her breast implants, according to TMZ. It seems that Jasmine Fiore's breast implants had serial numbers on them that could be followed back to a manufacturer. The manufacturer could tell police that the breast implants were those of Jasmine Fiore. Before the positive ID, Buena Park officials had no idea who their Jane Doe was...

Jasmine Fiore was found brutally murdered -- naked, strangled and folded into a suitcase in a dumpster. But as beautiful as the former swimsuit model had been, the killer had mutilated her body, cut off her fingers and removed all of her teeth, presumably to hamper identification. And so, on the morning of August 15, Jasmine Fiore was Jane Doe. And Jasmine Fiore would remain Jane Doe for a couple days.

With a body mutilated beyond recognition and identification impeded by a lack of fingers and teeth, the Jasmine Fiore story had to take a "CSI" turn for the former swimsuit model to be positively identified. After Fiore's husband, Ryan Alexander Jenkins, reported her missing to the Los Angeles Police Department, detectives did not think of the Jane Doe in Buena Park. This may have been due to the fact that she was a brunette. Although it has not been made public, it is not known if Ryan Jenkins described Jasmine Fiore as a blonde or a brunette when he made the missing person report.

Two days after she was found, the LAPD reportedly got in touch with the Buena Park Police Department and mentioned their missing person. Not having any other way to identify the body, Buena Park officials checked the serial numbers on her breast implants. They came back a match for Jasmine Fiore. Buena Park had identified their murdered Jane Doe. The LAPD had closed their missing person case.

But now they had to find the killer.

Reading every bit like a script from an episode of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," identifying the body of swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore became a matter of checking with a manufacturer. According to BreastImplants4You.com, breast implants are coded with a serial and lot number for identification. The client is given half of an identification/warranty kit and the other half is sent to the manufacturer with pertinent information, including social security number.

NBC News told the story in March of a woman who intended to get breast implants for free by allegedly defrauding her doctor. When the woman, who had allegedly set up an account using credentials not her own, did not pay, the doctor, who had not disposed of the set of implants he had exchanged the new implants for, ran the serial number and traced the woman back to her old doctor. She was identified and the Huntington Beach Police arrested Yvonne Jean Pampellonne, 30, and charged her with commercial burglary, grand theft and identity theft.

Along with identifying the body, some hotel video surveillance footage, and some incriminating circumstantial evidence, Buena Park Police secured a warrant for the arrest of Ryan Jenkins for the murder of his wife. By the time identification was made, Jenkins had fled north. It is now believed he is in Canada (Ryan Jenkins is from Calgary). Authorities on both sides of the border continue their manhunt for the fugitive.
