Don says at around 9 AM on the 15th, he noticed the Mercedes and then saw a silver, 4-door sedan parked next to it. Randall says he walked inside the building and returned to the lot somewhere between 30 – 60 minutes later and the silver car was gone.

The car is expected to be towed to the Orange County Crime Lab in Santa Ana.

UPDATE: An official from the Buena Park PD tells us it is definitely Jasmine’s car.

Cops say they have located Jasmine Fiore’s Mercedes, which has been missing since her death. We just shot this video of the car — which is in a West Hollywood parking lot where cops have just arrived on scene.

UPDATE: The RCMP just completed a press conference and while they say they have identified the mystery woman, they are not revealing her identity. They do not feel she is a public threat nor are they appealing for her to come forward. The RCMP also says she could only be charged as an accessory after the fact to crimes committed in Canada — not to the murder for which Jenkins was wanted.

UPDATE: Cops are saying despite the manager’s claim, Paulina is not the woman they are looking for.

The woman who helped Ryan Jenkins run from authorities was his former fiancee, according to the manager of the motel where he committed suicide.

We showed the manager, Kevin Walker, photos of Paulina Chmielecka, who was in a 3-year relationship with Jenkins until earlier this year — he says he’s “100% sure” the woman who drove Jenkins to the Thunderbird Motel and paid for the room was Paulina.

Ryan and Paulina were engaged, until he called it off several months ago. Friends of the former couple tell us she was very much in love with him, though she moved on to another relationship.

The manager of the motel where Ryan Jenkins hanged himself says he was found hanging from the coat rack behind the door and his feet were touching the ground.

Residents of the motel (it’s used for sober living) tell TMZ Jenkins, who walked around the grounds from time to time, looked nothing like the video and pictures that have been circulating. He was skinny, his cheeks were sunken and he was wearing clothes that looked like he purchased them at a thrift store.

As for the mystery woman who accompanied him, she was very pretty, between 20-25 years old and was “extremely calm” when she checked in. The manager says he was a bit suspicious when they first pulled up in a PT Cruiser. The car pulled up — ironically — next to a dumpster rather than in a parking spot. He waited in the car while she checked him in. She left 20 minutes after Jenkins checked in and has not been seen again.

UPDATE: TMZ just spoke with the motel manager who said he did not see a suicide note when he discovered the body.

Officials have Jenkins’ laptop — but it’s unclear what was on it.

Ryan Jenkins was found dead in Canada yesterday — hanging from a coat rack in a motel room — but the investigation into the murder of his wife, Jasmine Fiore, continues.

Authorities in Canada are looking for the woman who allegedly drove Jenkins to the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, B.C. on Thursday and checked him in. The manager of the motel says she was in her early 20s and drove a silver PT Cruiser with Alberta license plates.

The woman stayed with Jenkins for about 20 minutes and wasn’t seen again. The woman paid upfront for three days — in cash. The manager claims he never got a good look at Jenkins because he waited in the car while the mystery blond checked him in.

*Police were at scene for further investigation

UPDATE: TMZ spoke with the manager of the motel and one of the residents. They say Jenkins checked in on Friday. He was dropped off by a woman in her early 20s who drove a silver PT Cruiser with Alberta license plates. She stayed for about 20 minutes and wasn’t seen again. The room was paid for two days. When Jenkins didn’t check it out today, the manager and his nephew went to check on him. When there was no answer, they entered the room and found Jenkins hanging by his belt from a coat rack. He was wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

UPDATE: Lt. Steve Holliday of Buena Park PD addressed the press, saying, “The sadness of this is all is that Mr. Jenkins will not stand before an Orange County jury for his crime.”

UPDATE: His body was discovered at about 5:00 PM PT.

UPDATE: Jenkins was apparently ID’ed through fingerprints.

UPDATE: RCMP Sgt. Duncan Pound: “At this present time the investigation into the circumstances of his death is continuing, but preliminary evidence suggests that he took his own life. Any further details will not be released at this time as this investigation remains in its infancy.”

Jenkins posted the video on his MySpace page on August 6. Law enforcement believes he strangled Fiore on August 14.

see photos below..

Jenkins also posted this video to MySpace at the same time. Once again they are in Las Vegas, but Jasmine’s hair is blonde in the video — so it was probably taken a different time.
