The manhunt for the 32-year-old was stepped up as authorities intensified their search around his parents' homes in Canada.
Police believe he had been in contact with his divorced parents shortly after the murder of Jasmine Fiore, his wife.
It is not known whether they knew he was on the run from police when he made contact, but law enforcement sources said they had assisted him.
Mr Jenkins is suspected of strangling Fiore and then reporting her missing the evening of Aug 15 before fleeing.
Mr Jenkins and Fiore met in Las Vegas in March and married a few weeks later. The couple separated shortly afterward, but had reportedly recently reconciled.
Fiore's body was found in a rubbish bin in Buena Park an Orange County city about 20 miles south-east of Los Angeles. Her teeth had been pulled out and her fingers cut off, apparently to impede her identification. Investigators used the serial numbers on her breast implants to identify her, a spokesman for the Orange County's district attorney's office said.
Authorities believe Mr Jenkins, a millionaire property developer who appeared on the VH1 show "Megan Wants a Millionaire", fled via car, boat and on foot to enter his native Canada.
Investigators said his father's private jet flew from Honduras to the US around the time Mr Jenkins made his escape.
They believe he has been in contact with his mother, who lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, and, despite the international manhunt, she has allegedly been assisting him.
His father has a home in Calgary, and authorities in the city have been alerted to watch for Mr Jenkins.
The last confirmed sighting of Mr Jenkins was on Wednesday night, when he led authorities on a high-speed boat chase on the US-Canada border.
After eluding the coast guard, using a cutter and a helicopter, he led a speedboat at a marina on the Canadian-US border and fled on foot.
The US Marshals Service has issued a $25,000 reward for information leading to Mr Jenkins' arrest.
