In a case oddly reminiscent of model Jasmine Fiore, 26-year-old Paula Sladewski was found "burned beyond recognition" inside a Miami trash bin Sunday night, according to the LA Times. The Rancho Cucamonga model was traveling with her boyfriend, who told police they got separated at a club before he reported her as missing on Monday. Her boyfriend, 34-year-old Kevin Klym, and her apparently got into a fight at the club when the bouncer kicked him out, according to the Miami New Times. He took a taxi back to the hotel, leaving her inside. "He's considered a person of interest as would anyone who last saw her alive," said North Miami police spokesman Lt. Neal Cuevas to the Miami Herald.
Neighbors told KTLA that the two often fought and court records show that domestic violence charges were filed against her last June, found the Herald.
The police report stated her job as a stripper and she appeared in one Playboy video. Her remains could only be identified through dental records.
