In a statement, Madison said that each part of the said murder involved someone within the Playboy world.

The first episode will look into the murder mystery of swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore

The first episode, titled Bunny Meets Bachelor, will uncover the murder of California-based model 28-year-old Jasmine Fiore. On August 18, 2009, the model's mutilated and dismembered body was found stuffed inside a suitcase, with her fingers chopped and her teeth broken.

The model's husband, reality TV star Ryan Jenkins, was suspected of the murder, but before he could be questioned, he took his own life.

ID's synopsis of the episode reads:

"When a Playboy party hostess and model is found dead and dismembered in a dumpster, it ignites a tabloid media frenzy; as police investigate her romantic partners, her reality TV star husband heads for the Canadian border."

While Fiore's killer was never caught, it is widely believed that her husband was responsible for her death. People close to the couple have stated that the two often fought, and Ryan was reportedly unhappy with the fact that Fiore was still friendly with her ex-boyfriends.

Jenkins' father also claimed that Fiore would often leave for the holidays and would refuse to inform her husband about her whereabouts.

Fiore was last seen in a nightclub

In August 2009, the couple headed to Las Vegas to attend a poker tournament, and on August 13, they checked into a hotel to spend some time at a local nightclub. The CCTV footage showed the couple having fun until 2 in the morning. The next thing caught on camera involving the duo was Jenkins returning to their room alone.

The next morning, he reported his wife missing.

However, after reporting her missing, he fled to Canada on a boat and checked into a hotel. A few days later, Fiore's body was discovered dismembered and mutilated due to which it was difficult to identify her. Police had to identify the body with the serial number on the br**st implants.

Although police suspected Ryan of killing his wife, they weren't able to charge him with it as he took his own life soon after.
