(Newser) – Teeth and fingers were removed from swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore, believed to be murdered by her reality-star former husband, according to law enforcement authorities. The dismemberment was apparently an effort to stymie efforts at identifying her body, which was found earlier this week in a suitcase in a trash bin in Southern California. Police are currently hunting for Ryan Alexander Jenkins in Canada, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Not to be completely cold or indifferent on this subject, but if her teeth and fingers were removed, how was she so quickly identified? Was it distinguishable marks, serial # on medical implants, i.e. Rods and pins or was it...luggage tags? Also, I vote we leave him alone with jenna and tameesha for a couple hours.
