BODY OF A MODEL WAS FOUND BURNING IN A MIAMI DUMPSTER!

A romantic New Year's Eve getaway to Miami turned into a horror show for a stunning Playboy model whose corpse was found burning in a Dumpster - and cops have reportedly named her boyfriend a person of interest in the grisly death.
The smoldering corpse of Paula Sladewski, 26, was found late Sunday night, the Miami Herald reports, when a passer-by called cops to report a trash bin on fire.

The beauty's body was burned beyond recognition, the paper reports. It wasn’t until Tuesday night that she was ID’d using dental records.

Sladewski and her boyfriend Kevin Klym, 34, who resided in both Michigan and California, had traveled to Florida to ring in the New Year with a Lady Gaga concert and a weekend of bar-hopping.

She was last seen in the early morning hours at the nightspot Club Space, where she’d gotten into a fight with Klym.

Klym told cops his girlfriend was “too drunk,” the newspaper reports, and he tried to convince her to leave the bar.

After the ensuing screaming match, he said, bouncers tossed him out - and he took a cab back to their swanky digs at a Miami Beach hotel.

When she failed to return, he filed a missing person’s report according to the Miami Herald, several hours after the burning Dumpster was reported.

News of an altercation between the couple was no surprise to Sladewski’s step-father, Richard Watkins.

They had “very volatile relationship,” he told the Miami Herald.

CBSNews.com says the family told reporters Klym had broken Sladewski’s nose.

Court records in California also reportedly show Sladewski had domestic violence charges filed against her last summer.

Sladewski appeared in the 2003 video “Playboy: The Ultimate Playmate Search,” according to the online movie Web site IMDB.com. Her step-father said she was trying to break into modeling.

“She went on a lot of interviews, but never landed anything big,” Watkins told the Herald. “She would have loved that, modeling, that was her dream.”

Her shocked family was struggling to come to grips with the horrific state in which her body was found.

“We can’t give her an open casket. We can’t see her again,” her sister, Kelly Farris, told the Miami Herald.

No arrests have been made yet in the case. A North Miami Police spokesman, Lt. Neal Cuevas, said Klym is cooperating with cops.

“He’s considered a person of interest as would anyone who last saw her alive,” he told the Miami Herald.

Klym’s attorney vociferously denied his client’s involvement in the crime.

“He’s devastated and traumatized,” said Marc Beginin. “He has no involvement whatsoever.”
