LOS ANGELES , California ( CNN ) -- An arrest warrant for murder has been issued for the ex-husband of a former swimsuit model whose nude body was found over the weekend , Orange County police said Thursday . An arrest warrant has been issued for Ryan Alexander Jenkins , wanted in the death of ex-wife Jasmine Fiore . The body of Jasmine Fiore , 28 , was found Saturday stuffed into a suitcase inside a Dumpster behind an apartment complex in Buena Park , just outside Anaheim in Orange County . Her teeth had been extracted and her fingers removed . Fiore lived in Los Angeles and was last seen alive Friday in San Diego at a poker game with her ex-husband , Ryan Alexander Jenkins , a reality TV contestant . `` We believe he has crossed into Canada , '' U.S . Marshals Chief Inspector Thomas Hession told reporters . `` He needs to understand that he is now officially wanted . We wo n't stop looking for him . '' Watch why cops are looking to Canada » . Prosecutors requested bail be set at $ 10 million . Wednesday night , officers from the Blaine Police Department in northern Washington recovered a black 2003 BMW X5 SUV outfitted with a boat trailer and a boat belonging to Jenkins in Point Roberts , just south of the Canadian border , said Buena Park , California , Chief of Police Tom Monson . `` It 's now our belief that he has now crossed the border on foot , '' he said , adding that authorities were working with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to find him . Monson appealed to the public for help in locating a white 2007 Mercedes Benz CLS550 with paper license tags also linked to the suspect . Hession cautioned anyone who might be considering helping the suspect flee that doing so would leave them open to charges of aiding and abetting a fugitive . `` Ryan Jenkins is an animal , '' said Robert Hasman , a family friend who said Fiore had been his girlfriend for 2 1/2 years . Watch Hasman speak out » . `` What he has done to Jasmine is unspeakable . It 's just not right . '' He described her as `` a beautiful person who was a very caring individual and a lot of the information that you are seeing in the news is not true . '' He would not specify to what he was referring . Buena Park Police Lt. Steve Holliday said Fiore 's fingers and teeth had been removed . Asked whether that was done to keep her body from being identified , he said , `` It can be inferred that way . '' `` It appears to be a gruesome attempt to conceal her identity , '' concurred Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas in an interview with CNN 's `` Larry King Live . '' Jenkins is the sole suspect in the killing , authorities said . `` There is no indication that anybody else might be involved , '' he said . Jenkins is believed to be armed , Rackauckas said . `` There 's a handgun missing from his apartment , which is the last place he was before he fled , '' he said . Jenkins matched the description of a man seen driving a boat Wednesday in Blaine Marina off northwest Washington , the Whatcom County Sheriff 's Office said . Blaine , Washington , borders Canada . Authorities searched the area and found Jenkins ' black SUV with an empty boat trailer at the Blaine Marina , police said . Jenkins reported Fiore missing Saturday night to the Los Angeles County Sheriff 's Department , authorities said . The body was identified as Fiore on Monday . While the cause of death has not been confirmed , a preliminary coroner 's report indicates she was strangled . Jenkins and Fiore reportedly had been married a few weeks before getting the union annulled . According to court records in Las Vegas , Nevada , Jenkins was charged in June with battery for allegedly striking Fiore in the arm with his fist . And in 2007 , Jenkins pleaded guilty in Calgary , Alberta , to assault in a separate case . He was sentenced to 15 months probation , ordered to undergo counseling for domestic violence and sex addiction and to stay away from the person involved , according to court records . Jenkins , who appeared on VH1 shows , `` Megan Wants a Millionaire '' and `` I Love Money 3 , '' is from Calgary . 51 Minds , the production company of `` Megan Wants a Millionaire , '' said Thursday in a written statement that it `` was not aware of Ryan Jenkins ' record when it cast him . `` The company did have in place what it thought was a thorough vetting process that involved complete background checks by an outside company for all contestants on its shows , '' it said . `` Clearly , the process did not work properly in this case . 51 Minds is investigating what went wrong and taking steps to ensure that this sort of lapse never occurs again . '' In a statement , VH1 said it has postponed any airings of `` Megan Wants a Millionaire '' because of the `` tragic situation . ''
