Police Question Boyfriend

The L.A.-based model had been visiting Florida during a holiday with her boyfriend, Kevin Klym, 34, who reported her missing. The couple splits time between a home in Michigan and a home in Rancho Cucamonga, California, The Miami Herald reported.

On New Year’s Eve Sladewski went to a Lady Gaga concert in Miami and spent the weekend visiting nightclubs and bars, SkyNews.com reported.

Klym told police that he and Sladewski got into an argument at a nightclub and he was kicked out of the club in the early hours of Sunday morning. That was the last time, Klym told police, that he saw Sladewski. After he was booted from the club, he said he took a taxi back to their Miami Beach hotel, the Miami Herald reported.

The model's charred remains were discovered on Sunday night after a passer-by alerted the authorities to a trash bin on fire in a Miami street.

Klym has been cooperating with police, said Lt. Neal Cuevas, a North Miami police spokesman, according to the Miami Herald.

"[Klym's] considered a person of interest as would anyone who last saw her alive,'' Cuevas said, the paper reported.

Klym has denied any involvement in Sladewski's disappearance. His lawyer, Marc Beginin, said Klym is "devastated and traumatized. He has no involvement whatsoever," said Beginin, the paper reported.

Watkins told the Miami Herald that the couple, who had been together for two years, had a "very volatile relationship."

Violatal relationship/fight/missing person/dead in trash bin... doesn't look too good for the guy, :waitasec: but we will have to see.
 
I wonder how far the trash bin is from the club where she was last seen? Also, how far from their hotel?
 
Wonder if any security cameras at the hotel picked up Klym returning to the hotel?
 
Also, you would think they have security cameras at the club she was at and they would see if she left with someone else. Just thinking out loud. I am sure LE is all over this.

NORTH MIAMI, Fla. (CBS/AP) Paula Sladewski's boyfriend, Kevin Klym, is open to taking a lie detector test in the murder of the Playboy video model.

..

"This is unbelievable… unreal," Klym told CBS News' Crimesider, but quickly referred CBS to his attorney Marc Beginin.

"Kevin is devastated," Beginin said Wednesday night. "He is fully cooperative with law enforcement…and has met with police four times."

..

According to Beginin, Klym got into an argument with Sladewski Sunday night at Club Space in Miami. He left and went to his hotel to sleep. She stayed at the club.

He believes there should be hotel video which confirms his story.

Sladewski was last seen at the all-night club at 7 a.m., according to Det. Cuevas.

Fourteen hours later, at 9 p.m., her still burning body was found in a North Miami dumpster.

Reminds of the reality tv guy that killed his girlfriend/wife and fled to canada story...............

Yes it does indeed. Look at this:

she "expressed fear of her current boyfriend — even text messaging a former boyfriend, "he's trying to kill me," and

"a month ago, Klym broke Sladewski's nose during an argument and was arrested."

This was a baaaaaaaaaad relationship. <modsnip> I would give odds that soon he will become much more than that.

Never a honeymoon period. That's what this beautiful girl's parents said. This link says it was not only Klym doing the fighting.

Now, this is the girl's bereaved parent's speaking and they said it was constant knock out fights. The deceased was arrested for breaking a bottle over the boyfriend's head.

Looks like it was one violent relationship on both ends.

Lady Gaga? Man, there's got to be security cameras galore in that club and hotel.

Slain Tourist's Mother Wants Answers

NORTH MIAMI, Fla. -- Police are still searching for answers after the body of a missing tourist was discovered burned beyond recognition in a North Miami trash bin on Sunday.

....

Some workers from the club who did not want to be identified told Local 10 that they remembered the boyfriend leaving and the model walking out of the club "hand-in-hand" with someone else.

At about 9 p.m. Sunday, someone reported a fire burning in a Dumpster behind a propane tank business in the 1400 block of Northeast 130th Street. When Miami-Dade firefighters put out the flames, they discovered the body, which was later identified as Sladewski.

Klym filed a missing persons report Monday morning after calling several hospitals, jails and the medical examiner's office, police said.

"When she didn't return to the hotel room is when he started to inquire and make phone calls. He reported her missing, and once he contacted the (medical examiner's) office, we started to get to the bottom of her identity," Cuevas said.

Investigators are working to determine the cause of Sladewski's death.

Klym has not been identified as a suspect, but he has been ordered to stay in Miami until the investigation is complete.

So she left the club with another guy, hand in hand. Her sister was on the Today show and said she doesn't think her boyfriend had anything to do with her murder. Definitely need some camera footage of the hotel etc. Need to see if she ever made it back to the hotel.
 
I am pretty sure that this is Klym's facebook. Why? When you click through, you can see he is friends with Paula Angela Sladewski. What is interesting is in this older photos you can see a man at a dinner tabele with a blond who looks like Paula. When you click to see the recent image, he is alone at the Playboy Mansion. At least that seems to be the famous Grotto behind him.

Here is Paua's model page on Explore Talent. While she is a brunette here, this is the same photo used by CBS (posted below), so it must be her.

Question: On Paula's facebook page, one of her "friends" has initials MK. It is a male name, but there is a female's photo. Is that Paula's photo?

Another beautiful girl gone before her time. :(

Video Shows Playboy Model Left Club Alone

Paula Sladewski left Space night club never to be seen alive again

It's hard to learn much in eight seconds of grainy surveillance video, but one thing seems clear: Paula Sladewski left Space night club alone early Sunday morning.
....

The video, obtained by NBC, shows Sladewski, easily distinguishable by her flowing, bleach blond hair, walking out of the club at around 7:21 a.m. in a black mini skirt. She is swinging her purse as she walks out of the exit, followed by a man in a dark suit.
....

Klym has hired an attorney who said Friday that his client was not the last person seen with Sladewski, but that security at the club saw the model leave with an African-American male.

Looking at the video it is possible that the man behind her is with her.
 
Well it should be easy enough if he WILL take a polygraph, and there is camara footage of him arriving/leaving the hotel or other areas.
 
Wow, what a drag if he's innocent and they waste precious time looking at him (I know they must but these "complicated" relationships cause a ripple effect don't they?). I hope they will start finding fruitful leads ASAP. How odd that walking out of a nightclub alone when the sun is coming up is actually dangerous. Our world is not a safe place - anytime, anywhere. Sad.
 
HLN's Mike Galanos just featured this case on news.
Grainy surveillance tape shows Paula leaving alone.
I don't see anyone with her on the tape, but it has been stated she left with an African-American male hand in hand.
I wonder if that person has been identified yet.
At first, it seems a given that Klym is the murderer, since they had a volatile relationship, with violence on both sides, and he actually broke her nose, and she was arrested for breaking a bottle over his head.
But - we here at Websleuths - must look at every angle - in this case, it is quite possible she was picked up by a stranger, as she was very vulnerable in her inebriated state, and foul play ensued from there.
More will be revealed!:eek:
