“The victim had been badly beaten, all of her fingers had been cut off, and all of her teeth had been forcibly removed,” said a statement issued by the district attorney’s office in Orange County.
The torture prior to murder may lend credence to some suggestions Jenkins suspected Fiore was having an affair. It has been suggested he may have tried to extract a confession from her before killing her. One report suggests Jenkins was in a rage after discovering a text message Fiore sent to a former boyfriend.
Another suggestion is that her killer cut off her fingers and removed her teeth to make identification difficult using fingerprints and dental work.
“A warrant has been issued and charges have been filed against a fugitive husband for murdering his wife, stuffing her body in a suitcase, and throwing her in a Buena Park dumpster,” a press release issued by Orange County District Attorney’s office said.

“This domestic violence is a brutal crime where a wife suffered at the hands of the person who should have loved her more than anyone else in the world,” said Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas. “Mr. Jenkins is considered dangerous, possibly armed, and has the financial means to hide anywhere in the world.”
“Anyone helping Mr. Jenkins hide from the police may go to prison themselves. Mr. Jenkins should do the right thing and turn himself in before he gets himself into further trouble,” he said.
