Ryan Alexander Jenkins Aug 25 (IBNS) Reality TV star Ryan Jenkins father Dan is struggling to accept that his son may have been a cold-blooded killer.

“If my son was guilty, he was crazy,” Dan Jenkins, an architect based in Calgary, was quoted as saying by E Online, hours after Ryan apparently hanged himself in a British Columbia motel room.

“He was not the boy we knew. The boy we knew was not capable of anything remotely close to this act.”

Police believe that the younger Jenkins fled the U.S. for Canada after strangling his ex-wife and Playboy model, Jasmine Fiore, and leaving her mutilated body in a Buena Park, California, trash bin. A murder charge was filed Aug. 20 while Ryan was on the run.

“You talk to everyone here who knew him before he went down there and they’ll talk about a wonderful young man, a thoughtful man,” Dan Jenkins said, adding that his son, who would “faint at the sight of blood,” must have fallen in with the wrong crowd when he left Calgary for Hollywood.

And the exposure Ryan sought as a reality-TV star will now be nothing more than a footnote in his case file.

Having previously announced it was indefinitely postponing the show after airing three episodes, VH1 said Monday it is pulling the plug for good on Megan Wants a Millionaire, which featured Ryan as one of the well-off bachelors vying for Megan’s heart.

He also shot I Love Money 3, which has been canceled, as well.
