It looks like VH1/51 Minds need to do better background checks on their contestants. According to news reports, Ryan Alexander Jenkins, is one of the finalists in “Megan Wants a Millionaire”.

According to Canadian police, Ryan Jenkins was previously convicted for assaulting a woman. Now, he’s wanted as a “person of interest” in the murder of his ex wife Jasmine Fiore.

An international manhunt intensified Wednesday for a reality TV contestant wanted for questioning in the slaying of a swimsuit model found inside a suitcase dumped in a Buena Park trash bin. Citing the killing, VH1 abruptly pulled the show off the air.

Ryan Alexander Jenkins, a participant on “Megan Wants a Millionaire” and the self-described CEO of a Canadian real estate development company, was named by Buena Park police as a “person of interest” in the strangulation of 28-year-old Jasmine Fiore.

Fiore allegedly had a five-month relationship with Jenkins, who reported her missing Saturday after they attended a San Diego poker tournament.

Officials stressed that they want only to question Jenkins and that he is a not a formal homicide suspect. Canadian authorities said Wednesday that Jenkins had a previous conviction for assault on an unidentified woman.

Jenkins operates Skyhomes in Calgary, which sells million-dollar-plus apartments and homes. He is listed as the chief executive on the company website. A spokesman for a property company affiliated with Skyhomes said Jenkins has not been seen in Calgary for three months.

Jenkins was also scheduled to appear on the third season of VH1’s “I Love Money,” which was set to air in January, according to sources with knowledge of the show who were not authorized to speak to the media. In that reality show, contestants perform various physical and mental challenges, with the winner receiving $250,000.

Megan is one lucky lady, that’s one millionaire you definitely don’t want to date.
