Burned body in trash identified as Playboy model

(CNN) — Paula Sladewski, a 26-year-old who once modeled for Playboy, was identified Wednesday by Miami police as the person found dead and “burned beyond recognition” in a trash bin on Sunday.

Now, police are asking for the public’s help to put her killer behind bars. Whoever the murderer is, police said, they are nothing short of a “monster.”

“It’s so horrific. They’d have to be a monster. It’s a dastardly act,” North Miami police spokesman Lt. Neal Cuevas told CNN. “It’s the most heinous thing that a person can do to another person.”
