**US police investigating a gruesome murder near Los Angeles identified the mutilated victim by a serial number on her breast implants, prosecutors say.**The naked body of Jasmine Fiore, a 28-year-old former model, was found in a suitcase a week ago.
Detectives were unable to use dental records or fingerprints, as her teeth and fingers had been removed. But they tracked the number of her implants.
A reality-show contestant is being sought in connection with the murder.
Police believe the man, Ryan Alexander Jenkins, 32, may have fled to his native Canada.
He was taking part in the show Megan Wants a Millionaire. Described as an investment banker, Mr Jenkins was one of several wealthy young men trying to win the affections of a young woman in the show.
The TV channel VH1 cancelled the series after he was identified as a suspect.
Ms Fiore had no connection with the show, but she and Mr Jenkins had married in Las Vegas in March.
Media reports say she had sought to annul the marriage.
Her mangled body was found in a suitcase in Buena Park, south of Los Angeles, on 15 August.
Authorities have offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to Mr Jenkins’ arrest.
