You know how all those VH1 reality dating shows have kind of become formulaic?

Well they’re not anymore – now they involve actual murders to keep them interesting. To be clear the bonafide homicide didn’t happen on camera – but it was performed by one of their former contestants.

The show was Megan Wants A Millionaire, and the apparently fleeing contestant is Ryan Alexander Jenkins. He high stepped it to Canada, you see. And now the American authorities can basically only sit on the US side of the border playing a high stakes game of Whack-A-Mole should he show his face again.

As Megan, the reality star who once got roughed up by Sharon Osbourne, stood there looking out over her sea of millionaire bachelors – it probably didn’t occur to her that one of them was married – and possibly murderous!

His wife’s corpse was found in a suitcase, and he was seen most likely getting the crap out of the country. We don’t now how close he made it to winning Megan’s heart, but we can only assume that had he actually won it he would have cut it out and hung it around his neck.

That’s murderer love. That’s suspected murderer love.

TMZ has more details:

“Here’s what we know straight from the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Dept. in Washington State, which is just over the border from Canada:

“Yesterday evening a witness reported seeing someone matching Jenkins’ description driving a black BMW SUV (we know he owned one) with a boat in tow in a marina which is extremely close to the Canadian border. A short time later deputies found the boat and the SUV abandoned. A manhunt then began for Jenkins by land, sea, and air, conducted by federal agents, deputies, cops, and Canadian authorities. They were unable to find Jenkins and now think that he literally made a run for the border — crossing over by foot.”"

At this point it seems Jenkins is just a person of interest. Still, should he get convicted it could present VH1 with a unique opportunity – a love-search reality show based in prison. They should somehow tie the words ‘Ryan’ and ‘Kill You’ into the title, and then just sit back and watch the prison-gay drama naturally unfold. Shankings and shower rapes would certainly make for good immunity competitions.

Richard Hatch is a shoe-in to win. It’s because he’s both reality-experienced, devious, and pretty when the sun shines through the prison bars and hits him just so.

As far as VH1 is concerned – they’ve just issued this statement about the whole unfortunate incident:

“Ryan Jenkins was a contestant on Megan Wants A Millionaire, an outside production, produced and owned by 51 Minds, that is licensed to VH1. The show completed production at the end of March. Given the unfortunate circumstances, VH1 has postponed any future airings. This is a tragic situation and our thoughts go out to the victim’s family.”

Its not missing any more though – not one bit. That’s because the VH1 footage of the odd fist-filled incident was either legally aired, or it just slimed its way across the internet like a slug on a salty sidewalk. Surely you remember – we told you all about all the strangeness not too long ago. It harkens back to the glory days of Jerry Springer, and we think you might enjoy it.

So without further ado:
