Nearly three weeks after the body of aspiring model Paula Sladewski was found burning in a trash bin on a street in North Miami, Police have few new leads in the case.

Riptide briefly joined North Miami Police spokesman Lt. Neal Cuevas and Paula's brother on Headline News' Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell last night, during which little more was revealed.

The North Miami Police Department had previously promised a composite sketch of the black male witnesses outside of Club Space say Puala was last seen with, but have not been able to gather enough information about his features to produce the sketch. Though Cuevas said that the "black male" description does not automatically mean the man is African-American.

Last week, attorneys for Kevin Klym, Sladewski's Boyfriend, released surveillance video of Klym at a BP gas station near Club Space the night after she went missing to CBS4. Klym asked the clerk if he had seen Sladewski after showing him a photo of her on his iPhone. The clerk told CBS4 that Klym showed up in a taxi cab and seemed "tipsy," but very concerned.

I wonder when they gonna catched the killer.club space womens be naked.
My theory is that this was a set up by more than one person. The perpetrators saw Paula and her boyfriend go into the club and also inside when the fight between the couple occurred. They saw how she had been drinking and that her boyfriend had left in a taxi leaving her alone. This is when the plan took place as the perpetrators knew she would eventually be leaving the club alone. I find it difficult to believe that a party girl from LA and Detroit would just accept a ride from a stranger on the street nor do I believe she was walking off with a stranger offering her drugs regardless if she were under the influence. According to the video, Paula was walking out of the club with no assistance so it does not appear she was inebriated enough to be that foolish. I think Paula was tricked. She and her boyfriend were known for fighting in clubs in the past. My guess is that Paula expected her boyfriend to be waiting and she walked outside looking for him to be there. The perps knew the boyfriend was gone and used this as a way to approach her. Paula was immediately approached with something more than an offer of a ride or drugs. I would almost bet that one of the perps told her that the boyfriend was waiting across the street since he was asked to leave the club. The perp may have approached Paula as if he was just a messenger for her boyfriend. She may have believed this because in her mind a stranger would not typically know about the boyfriend's actions. It was daylight and across the street was not far to walk. One perp walked across the street with her maybe under the pretense of showing where the boyfriend was waiting. Any other perps were either in wait across the street or else they followed the two across the street where Paula was forced into a vehicle. I also feel that her murder likely took place near or even where she was found. Storage units that are not rented do not have locks so that would be an easy place for the crime to occur early on a Sunday morning and also a place to hide the body until night time when her body was found burning in a dumpster on the property. I would certainly believe that at least one of the perps had been to that storage place before and or lived in that area. Not just anyone would know that dumpster was located on that property. This does not feel like a hate crime to me....I believe it was a crime of opportunity. There may have been a struggle and extreme anger may have contributed to how her body was treated. However, it would not be surprising that the perp or perps already have a record for sexual assault and made sure there was no witness or DNA evidence that would send them back to prison. Too bad Paula made the fateful decision to stay at that club alone. Eventually, we may learn more from someone who comes forward from behind prison walls.
I have to wonder why this particular case is more important than the other 100 murders that have not been solved; they have families too but not families that can muster up $15,000 for a reward. It's not that I don't sympathize with her family but I wonder if she was 5' 10" and weighed 300lb. with size 11 feet and was hispanic if FOX and the other networks would be giving her all the attention they have for this Ex Stripper/Playboy Contender. I mean lets face it it's not the way I want to Die (cremated in a Dixe Dumpster) but sorry to say it happens more than not, Why don't we put on TV whats happening in Mexico" Beheadings,torture,gunshots,knifings all sort of horrendous B.S. but thats not on TV?
Club Space killer still loose.
Paula's killer remains free. Maybe he still goes to Club Space to look for new victims? Innocent drunk or drugged girls future victims? Hunting for more?
Who killed Paula Sladewski? How many cops are on the Club Space payroll? Bouncers still beating customers?
Investigators think Club Space bouncers know more than they are letting on. The boyfriend was in Miami Beach during the day Paula was getting set on fire in N. Miami. He was seen by witnesses on Miami Beach. How many tourists from Club Space must die?
Kevin Klym, the psycho boyfriend, is obviously the killer, no stranger bothers to burn a body, that is a highly personal act and given the bad history between the two he will be charged it's just a matter of time.
I just saw this on Dateline and I believe someone had to have seen something. I am sure if stranger (someone totally unfamiliar to her) tried to harm her she would have put up a fuss so that leads me to believe 3 things: 1.The boyfriend had something to do with it.(has his whereabouts been confirmed?) 2.If it was a familiar stranger it was someone she must have had some prior interactions with in the club to go along with them quietly. 3.It may have been a staffer who knew she was alone and vunerable and offered her a ride or something back to her hotel. Whoever did this was not a complete stranger to her and I hope they find this bastard soon.
I agree to make it federal,or at least get internal affairs or better yet they F.D.L.E florida dept.of law enforcement.look at what this person did to this girl!the police should be working on this 24/7 to get this sick f-cker off the streets.how can they sleep at night!???JUSTICE4PAULA and everyone else!THIS ISNT GOING TO GO AWAY MIAMI!DO YOUR JOB 9()(florida dept.of law enfourcment
I think she remained at the location inside somewhere for all those hours. It doesn't make sense that the boyfriend or someone else would take her away and then bring her back to the dumpster. Also, it seems incredulous that she would meet up with someone outside and walk off hand-in-hand like that. That seems like an outright lie to me. I think she was brought inside somewhere at that location, and then when things went bad she was dumped outside. The cop in the beginning of the show said it was someone who was "comfortable in their surroundings". Like someone who worked there. If the family brought a wrongful death civil action against the club they could at least get answers in depositions about employees, etc. if they are not cooperating. When business owners are "politically connected", the small benefits they are afforded could be enough to stall the case. I think look at the club employees.
Read and get information about this CRIMINAL CLUB. Some members of the corrupt police in that area are in the business also.CORRUPT POLICE in other areas make the organization too. Please wake up........................................................................................ What happen with the people,we want not to think or at least ask for help. This is a 100% case of FEDERAL INVESTIGATION.
People call police to crimes at Club Space every night they are open. Underage, fights, knives, rapes, drugs... Murders. Bouncers get accused of crimes. Female customers get found dead in dumpsters. DJ's murder young girls. Why aren't the police pushing to close this one-stop-shop of crime?
Let's see if this makes any since. The boyfriend was kicked earlier that night correct!!! Fine!!!! But she left with a black male holding hands. Now let's look into this a little bit more. The boyfriend left the club after an altercation with someone inside the club. Did anyone manage to think that she left the club with the black male, who of which may have been the person her boyfriend had the altercation with. And that the only reasons why she was holding hands with the black male is because she knows how her boyfriend gets or worst; knew what he was capable of. (Definitely after that senario) I'm sure she was probably afraid for her life, and so she needed to feel safe living the club by holding hands with the new suspect, but i'm sure that they were also some sexual feelings involved as well that night.
What is happening with the FEDERAL INVES- TIGATION. This case is a big opportunity to clean corrupt authorities in South Florida. CORRUPT - Police system - Ilegal businesses as some clubs as SPACE and others. UNDER this case there is a criminal system protected by a corrupt POLICE and people with influence in this CITY. FEDERAL INVES- TIGATION HAS POWER.The Paula Sladewski family and boyfriend have to ask for federal investigation.For Miami Dade is not a good deal.
I WOULD LIKE HELP. I AM PSYCHIC. PLEASE SEND ME HER DATE AND TIME AND PLACE OF BIRTH. I WOULD LIKE TO HELP. PLEASE SEND ME THIS INFORMATION.
Why was she holding hands with some unidentified black male at 7A.M. after her boyfriend was already kicked out of the club. It is only my speculation, but stuff like this makes me think that here could have been some love triangle stuff going on between her, the boyfriend, and the unidentified black dude. Only my own personal opinion. But it just seems weird that she would be intimately leaving with another guy several hours after her boyfriend had been sent packing. It will be interesting to see the developments as time passes.
NORTH EAST MIAMI, The most corrupt city in MIAMI DADE CITY IN SOUTH FLORIDA. Place of: - Drugs dealers. - Prostitution organizations. - Authorities in corruption. Start the investigation with this matter. The killer live in that area.
Obviously I dont condone vigilante justice, but again, if it was my relative I don't think I would care. What happened to honesty? Speaking up against wrongdoings?
Cee Cee you are so correct! They ARE NOT cooperating with police. Which is startling, as I thought the Police decided who they wanted to talk to....The bouncers are protecting the people who did this, either because they are one in the same... or they fear a similar fate themselves. THIS CITY IS VERY CORRUPT, much like Detroit. The police are paid off. It's ok.... as I have heard this isn't over by a long shot. Has anyone heard the story of a female that was drugged by these "club owners" and raped? It is an elite society of corruption. If this was my family member that they killed/burned I would put a bullet in the head of who I deemed responsible, and send a clear message that they either cough up who did this, or face trial by vigilante.
The blog from Comical caught my attention. Not being from Miami, I do not know the dynamics of the politics there, but there might be some level of corruption that could compromise this investigation. The bar owner has a "day" named after himself in Miami, Louis Puig Day, and obviously has some influencee in this city, his employees are not cooperating with the police. Why? Are they afraid of losing their jobs? Could they be protecting someone? Understandably, no one wants negative publlicity drawn to themselves or their business, but it does make it appear someone is hiding something.
I don't believe that for one minute.
Kevin Klym is the MURDERER, either he did it or he had someone do it, he's responsible and GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY. It's only a matter of time for Kevin.
Saw you on Headlines News about this story - good job, nice glasses and are they giving you a raise for all the free publicity you are bringing your employer?
Riiiiight. That was a claim made by an ex boyfriend of Paula's who was LYING. The cops have already disproved that. The club owner LOUIS PUIG was involved.... and the cops are afraid to call him out. Bet me!
Paula Sladewski regularly sent text messages to a former boyfriend that boyfriend Kevin Klym was trying to kill him, according to her Stepfather.
