Paula Sladewski has been found gruesomely murdered.
The 26-year old, a former Playboy model, has been identified by Miami authorities as the individual "burned beyond recognition" in a trash bin on Sunday.
Labeling the murderer a "monster," police are asking the public for any help they can provide on tracking down the culprit.
"It's so horrific. 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."
Sladewski hails from Michigan. Her boyfriend, who has not been named, is considered a person of interest because he was vacationing with her in Florida.
The couple arrived in Miami on Thursday to celebrate New Year's Eve with a Lady Gaga concert. Cuevas said Sladewski's boyfriend confirmed they went to Club Space on Saturday and remained until early Sunday morning, at which point an argument ensued.
He was thrown out of the club, Sladewski stayed, and that was the last time her boyfriend saw her alive.
Said Sladewski's sister:
"She loved life, she was full of life. She went on a lot of vacations. She was a great person. I couldn't imagine anything like this happening. We can't even give her an open casket. We can't even see her again. She did not deserve to die in this way."

I am praying for this young ladys family.The loss of child is heartbreaking enough with natural causes,but to be taken out of this world with so much hate, violence,brutality,and unimagineable suffering inflicted upon her is certinaly too overwhelming for the compassionate person to comprehend as to what her family ,especially her mother, is going through . May they depend upon the Lord Jesus Christ to see them through their time of mourning.

If anyone knows anything about Miami this is common, speciaaly about club space, this isn't the first time something of this sort has happended there, take a good look at the area, downtown miami, it's in the hood, I would'nt walk down those streets in the day time specially at night, take a good look at the people who go there, lets face it people, miami is not what they want you to think, something similar happened two block from there, a tourist was raped in day light hours in a car in front of her husband in downtown miami, the cops want you to think it's safe, you believe that and you'll end up just like them, where were they when this happened ? this foolish girl was in a strange area in a shit whole part of town and left with a black guy, the area where they found this girl was also in a bad area, two months ago a few blocks away from where this girl was found some dudes got shot up in a drive by with an AK, people miami is not what you think, i'd think twice about your next trip to miami .....

Just b/c you pose for playboy does NOT mean you are a slut. AT ALL. Playboy is very glamorous & tasteful & NO ONE deserves to have life taken away from them. You should really watch your words...mindless idiot
