Former Playboy model Paula Sladewski was tragically murdered on Wednesday in Miami. Her body was found “burned beyond recognition” and discarded in the trash several days later as police responded to a call reporting flames in a dumpster near a propane manufacturer.
“It’s so horrific. They’d have to be a monster. It’s a dastardly act,” said North Miami police spokesman Lt. Neal Cuevas. “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.”
Sladewski disappeared on Sunday morning and the last person to see her was her boyfriend of two years. The couple had a fight that evening at Club Space. She stayed behind while he went back to their hotel and when she did not return, he filed a missing persons report. Her boyfriend was questioned for 12 hours and does not seem to be a suspect.
“She loved life, she was full of life,” cried Sladewski’s sister, Kelly Farris. “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.”
So sad.
