Jenkins' Mystery Woman Will Not Face Charges

The woman who helped Ryan Jenkins check into the Canadian motel where he was found hanged will not be charged with a crime.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Cpl. Norm Massie said a Canadian warrant wasn't issued for Jenkins until the day after the woman checked him into the Thunderbird Motel on August 20, so there's no evidence to support charges.

The woman -- who some believe was Jenkins' half-sister Alena -- drove Ryan to the motel in British Columbia, checked him in and then left.

Ryan was found dead inside his room a few days later, hanging from a coat rack.

1. This is a done deal. Let the dead rest. THey both were living wild out of control lifestyles it appears. But what if the ex con paid someone to kill her the way she was murdered to frame Jenkins? Jenkins looks to punkish to be able to pull all of her teeth out of her mouth and cut her fingers off. Something doesn't sit well with me on this one. Someone else was involved.

5. I would still like to know the evidence that links him directly to the murders. Video surveillance footage of him moving around isn't really enough, unless you actually see him doing stuff like driving the car to the lot where it was found, or carrying the suitcase to that dumpster.
Also, the Canadian police should say if there was or wasn't a suicide note or an explanation from anyone about Jenkins side of the story. If he was planning on killing himself, I imagine he would have spilled the beans.
Jasmine was no angel, despite what her mom says. But mom probably instilled her sense of values in her, so Jasmine was tainted from that. She certainly didn't deserve to die. If she was drugged up on cocaine, and started slapping the man she was with, I could see it spiraling out of control, especially if he was also under some kind of drug or alcohol influence. It's not an excuse for murder, but it could explain how things could have turned sour so quickly.

7. The mystery woman is his sister. I don't think they should charge her for checking him in hotel. It's his sister. The loss of her brother is punishment enough. I'm sure the family is thinking if they had convinced him to turn himself in, he will still be with them today

Also knowing what we know now, this guy will only have been charged with manslaughter, not murder 1 or 2. I don't think he would have been spending the rest of his life in prison.

The whole situation is sad. It's money, fame, jealousy, and materialism all mixed together.

True. They're also not apt to go out on a lynch mob or shoot first and ask questions later like a lot of Americans. There's a reason why the murder rate is a whole lot lower in Canada than in the USA.

12. It seems maybe she knew he was on the run fromthe beginning& it might be proven by the way she paid cash, parked near the dumpster,etc. Unless,of course she used her REAL name in checking in.Didn't, did she? Then even with the possibility she didn't know when she checked him in,unless she called LE & was the 1 who reported he was there, (that thing about LE saying right before finding him they knew he was in the country),then it seems she still should be charged for knowing where he was at that point.IE:not reporting it the minute she knew he was wanted.I believe he committed suicide because he knew no one was going to help him any longer. Like maybe she told him this,possibly online,or however they communicated. I'd imagine IF he tricked her into hiding him, USED her,& later she found out,she may well have informed LE as well as told him to ""F***off,how could you USE & involve me, I told Dad & now I'm turning your ass in,you might as well kill yourself"""( maybe even a lil sibling rivalry with the sibling caring?) Who knows maybe even his father ripped him a new one/cut him off during the time he was hiding out? I'm betting they never admit to anything, certainly not publically.

15. I wonder when was the last time the manager saw Jenkins. He said he saw him once before he found him dead. The autopsy in Canada hasn't revealed time of death as far as I know. Maybe this woman was planning on going back to help him further, but something happened and he ended up dead.

It's good they don't charge her. Then hopefully she can speak publicly about what she knew, or the cops can put it out there. This isn't such a cut and dry case of murder, judging by all the silence at the RCMP's end.
