ryan jenkins. painting a picture of this man is going to be so difficult, because he's not here to answer any of the questions that so many people want badly answered. but sources close to the jenkins family tell me that he may have struggled with mental health, that he may in fact have tried previously to take his own life. and that aggression was definitely a problem with him. we've seen that in the court documents that allege that he may have hit jasmine, and also those that he pled guilty to in calgary back in 2005. so whether or not suicidal tendencies were something that were innate to him or not, we will never know. but there are certainly sources that tell me that may be the case, nancy. >> back to dr. caryn stark, caryn, isn't it true that when people try to commit suicide and they're stopped, that at some point they're going to try again? >> absolutely, nancy. you can count on it. unless something drastically has changed, they're in therapy, they really work on their problems, their tende
