Report: Alleged Model Killer Thought He Was Trying Out For New Fox Reality Show, "Hey, I'm A Murder-Suicide Committer!"

Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesman Eric Fonderman today told a hastily assembled Vancouver, British Columbia news conference that alleged model killer Ryan Jenkins appeared to have acted on the mistaken belief that he was trying out for a new Fox reality TV show, "Hey! I'm A Murder Suicide Committer!"

"Evidence we have reviewed," Fonderman told reporters, "indicates that Mr. Jenkins believed he was being considered as a contestant for a TV reality show. Everything involving the alleged murder of his ex-wife, and his own suicide, points to that incorrect assumption."

Fonderman said that Mr. Jenkins had left more than a dozen phone and text messages for Fox executives, asking them whether his "body of work" was sufficient for his inclusion on the new show, scheduled to air starting in September.

"When it appeared that he wasn't going to make the show," Fonderman told reporters, "Mr. Jenkins appeared to take the news pretty hard. He really thought he had a chance to make the show. Reality TV can be a cruel mistress."
