SUSAN POWELL CASE: Family Mini-Van Seized Again

UPDATE 12:02 p.m. - I just spoke to Kiirsi Hellwell, friend of Susan and Josh Powell, and one of the organizers helping to spread the word about Susan.  She says starting next week, February 8 – 15, 2010, they will be getting the public to focus on a week of service in honor of Susan.  Susan’s friends and family are asking everyone to lift a needle and donate handmade items to women’s and children’s charities in Susan’s name. This effort will launch across the country.  To learn more about this, and what you can do in your own communities, please check out HEARTSKNITFOR SUSAN

Family friend Kiirsi says that over the weekend, the popular Susan Powell friends and family Facebook page disappeared. But after repeatedly contacting Facebook, it finally reappeared Saturday night.  She says a sick troll pretending to be Susan was posting pornographic pictures and sending harassing messages on the group page.  Thankfully, the disturbing posts have died down over the last week or two, but it has been a rough month.  Kiirsi says her husband picked Josh Powell up at the airport on Thursday night. Josh then came to their home to print out leases in preparation of renting out his house. As far as Kiirsi knows, Josh is still in Utah working on his home to prepare it for rent.  When Josh arrived at his Utah home, he was greeted with purple ribbons all over his house in honor of his wife.

PLAYBOY MODEL MURDER

Paula & Kevin

Paula & Kevin

Investigators are still putting the pieces together and working to figure out who would set Paula Sladewski on fire and throw her body in a trash dumpster. Cops say Paula’s body was “burned beyond recognition” and firefighters were called to put out the flames.  Was committed out of anger… passion… or just someone trying 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 all night and all 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 do not have surveillance video running at all 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
