But it just never quite broke for her, did it?

But it just never quite broke for her, did it?

But she talked to Kevin about revving up her modeling dreams or fantasies one last time as soon as this Miami trip was over. Saturday, January 2, 2010, was still a vacation day for Paula and her boyfriend. They splurged and moved hotels to a place on the beach. There, on the Art Deco Strip, they befriended a waiter and asked him, what's up?

Miami's hottest after-hours club. It's only open one marathon night a week from Saturday at 11 p.m. till Sunday afternoon. So that night, Kevin says, they had a romantic dinner on South Beach where Paula bought this neon blue dress. They slept for a bit, then woke up and got dressed. Paula did her customary one-hour makeup thing, and at 5.30 a.m., Paula and Kevin cabbed it to Club Space.

Lady Gaga, now Club Space. Paula, in her six-inch heels, sheer blue dress, and waist-length hair, was a head-turner even to an end-of-shift bartender like Raymond Diaz, who sees lots of Miami hotties.

Paula and Kevin had been dating and living together for a couple of years, and he knew from painful experience what impact his girlfriend would have in a cavernous dance space jammed with single men powered by alcohol. Paula Sladuski was boom shakalaka. She seems to be the kind of girl who would walk in a room and just take the oxygen right out of it.

Paula danced, flashing her new mini as the fins began circling her. Kevin knew the drill. Run interference on the men salivating for her as best he could. But these guys were making heavy moves on his woman.

But Paula, lit up by the attention and the shooter she was downing, had a different idea. She was digging in her stilettos.

Kevin was being ejected from the club by security. She was staying. She asked him for her credit card, and he gave it to her. Kevin said he wasn't going to reason with her in that haze. So seething, he says he got in a cab, still carrying her cell phone as he always did when they went clubbing, and headed back over the causeway to their hotel room on Miami Beach.

As the sun came up that Sunday morning, Kevin Clem crashed without his girlfriend. But if he paced about outside that club for only a few more minutes after he was tossed out, he would have seen Paula herself leaving just before 7.30 in the morning. She turned right at the sidewalk and disappeared, as they say, without a trace. Coming up, Kevin wakes up alone but not worried, at least not yet.

Had you and Paula had nights that had ended like that before? Yes. And she always came home. This time, it would be different. When Death of a Golden Girl Continues. Three days into 2010, after a night of clubbing, Kevin Klimt woke up in his Miami Beach hotel room with a throbbing head and minus his girlfriend, Paula Sleduski. It came back to him.
