PLAYBOY MODEL MURDER

Three months later, it doesn’t appear investigators are any closer to finding out who murdered Paula Sladewski.  Police still need your tips to help solve this case.  Instead of this tragedy pulling her family together – they are reportedly tearing apart.  There are many reports that suggest Paula’s mother and sister are feuding and fighting over her personal belongings, but not in the way you may think.

Reading the reports made me think about all the unsolved cases (crime and missing) and the families left behind.  In all the cases I’ve covered, I have watched family members come together, or get ripped apart. The pain runs so deep, they are never able to repair the damage, mainly because of the hurt and loss they feel for their loved one who was murdered, or is missing.

COPS RELEASE SKETCH IN PLAYBOY MODEL MURDER

Investigators in North Miami Florida just released a sketch of a man they believe may be responsible for the murder of Paula Sladewski.  Police say she was thrown in a dumpster, set on fire, and found on January 3, 2010.  Cops say Paula’s body was “burned beyond recognition” and firefighters were called to put out the flames.  Police are trying to figure out if this murder was committed out of anger… passion… or simply to destroy evidence.

Lt. Neal Cuevas with the North Miami Police department told me Paula’s boyfriend, Kevin Klym, reported her missing at 10:40 p.m. on Sunday, January 3, 2010.  Klym said he hadn’t seen his girlfriend since earlier that morning when he was kicked out of Club Space, a Miami nightclub open 24 hours a day.  Lt. Cuevas says Klym told them Paula was too drunk, and he wanted to leave, an argument erupted – and he was kicked out.  Investigators confirmed to me that they know for sure Klym left the club in a taxi and went back to the LaFlora Hotel on Collins Avenue, where he and Paula were staying.  There is not video of Paula ever returning to the hotel.  One of the workers at the hotel told me they have no surveillance video running at the hotel.

 PAULA SLADEWSKI MURDERED

Investigators are putting the pieces together and trying to figure out who would set Paula Sladewski on fire and then throw her in a trash dumpster. 

Cops say Paula’s body was “burned beyond recognition” and firefighters were called to put out the flames at a dumpster fire.  Her body was identified a few days later through dental records.  Paula is originally from Michigan, and in 2003 she appeared in a video for Playboy.  At this time, investigators are calling her boyfriend a “person of interest.” 

Police know the couple arrived in Miami on New Year’s Eve with friends, they watched Lady GaGa perform, and had plans to say in Miami throughout the weekend.  On January 2, 2009, that Saturday night, the couple went to Club Space – until they got into an argument at 7 a.m. Sunday morning and split up.  That’s when cops say she was last seen. 

Please contact the North Miami Police department with any information: (305) 891-8111
