Police have identified a woman found dead and burned beyond recognition in a Miami dumpster on Sunday
as former Playboy model Paula Sladewski.
The charred body of the 26-year-old blonde was found Sunday night after firefighters extinguished flames in a large trash bin near a propane business. Police were able to identify the body using dental records.
Paula and her boyfriend, Kevin Klym, 34, arrived in Miami on Thursday New Year Eve’s with Fontainebleu headliner Lady Gaga. Police are considering him a person of interest, but Paula’s family insists Klym knows more about the model’s disappearance than he has revealed.
“They had a horrible relationship,” says Richard Watkins, Paula’s stepfather. “I have told them from the start that they shouldn’t be together.”
Watkins said the couple, who had been together for two years, argued often. Klym broke Sladewski’s nose during an argument just last month and was arrested.
