Former Playboy Model Burned & Left in Dumpster

Paula Sladewski, a former Playboy model, has been identified as the body found dead and burned beyond recognition in Miami on Sunday.

Firefighters found the body on Sunday night after being called to put a fire out in a trash bin, when they had the fire gone they discovered the body but the body was so badly burned they couldn’t identify who it was.

Lt. Neal Cuevas, a spokesman for the North Miami Police, said “It’s so horrific. They’d have to be a monster. It’s a dastardly act, It’s the most heinous thing that a person can do to another person. It was just total, total, disfigurement, You couldn’t even tell that it was a woman or a man or even what race. This was a brutal, horrible, disgusting murder, and this monster or these monsters need to be brought to justice.”

After running dental tests on the body it was reveled that the body belonged to the 26-year-old model from Michigan. She was on vacation in Miami with her boyfriend, who has not been named. He is a person of interest but not a suspect according to Cuevas. A lawyer for her boyfriend said that he is devastated and want’s to the crime to be solved.

The couple were in Miami to celebrate the new year, they went out on Saturday night and at around 7 a.m. on Sunday they got into an argument which led to her boyfriend being thrown out of the club while she stayed behind. When she didn’t return to the hotel on Monday her boyfriend contacted police, he also hired a private investigator, called hospitals and jails in hopes that he could find her.

Kelly Farris, the models sister, said “She loved life, she was full of life, she went on a lot of vacations. She was a great person. I couldn’t imagine anything like this happening, you know, we can’t even give her an open casket. We can’t even see her again. She did not deserve to die in this way, I can’t see myself going back to work, I can’t see myself living a normal life until I know whoever did this pays for it.”

This is terrible, I can’t even imagine what her family must be going through, Paula Sladewski appeared in a 2003 Playboy video.
