I'm a MI native and actually worked at Penthouse, same workplace as fellow P.S. Since, I'm an R.H.I.T. (AS Degree of HIM), a large professional discipline I practice is healthcare law & ethics and I'm currently earning my BA Degree and licensure to become a Tumor Specialist (BA of Oncology Management). Strangulation is evidenced. Due to her jewelry from her ear anatomy piercings being removed (earrings), this demonstrates a physical struggle/ fight- Paula's sister's theory of this basically re-confirms or verifies the victim's struggle and physical defense she exhibited. Also, accidents don't relate to a fight or physical altercation between two people. No accidental death, no consensual sex. All of these variables point to sexual assault. Strangulation and the related evidenced- based duration of time this incurs in order to kill a human was not an accident- It was an intentional and also personal act ('personal' can include sexual assault if the criminal was a stranger). Medically, Paula appeared to build a tolerance to substances, although she was still under the influence of many things. She also slept before going to Space. The/ her credit card request, her walking straight in heels leaving the club, etc., tells us she was impaired but certainly nowhere near incoherent or lacking function and not displaying any judgment (also reference her physical defense energy and comprehension). She passed several cabs with a credit card (was used to going home independently), it's very likely she wanted to party more regarding getting into the van (described as van on different news stations by the P.I.). A large majority of U.S. exotic dancers prostitute inside and outside of strip clubs (this is why Penthouse Detroit was shut down, is now differently owned & operated and why the city removed VIP areas, also, now legally speaking, no curtains and doors or privacy are allowed in these establishments, only open space concept public lap dances in sight). While this may be a hard truth, unfortunately it's not outrageous whatsoever as to the possibility of P.S. "working" regarding the male driving the van.
The top crime in this area of her murder is prostitution. I agree with the locals, she could have been targeted in order to "pimp out" or having to do with sex trafficking relations. Drugs and partying word dropping can get someone motivated to "get in" a vehicle. The family's lawyer(s) and at times their P.I. are careful not to mention the the word prostitution because they do not want to draw attention to the fact that she was indeed a sex worker, as Americans have the ideology of not caring about a stripper's murder and victim shaming/ blaming. The reason her body was burned is likely because all of the DNA evidence including semen product from sexual assault (much DNA evidence, also including from the victim-defense fight). I believe the murderer also burned the body because he has a record (felon on parole, history of criminal record and he had freedom to lose if he was caught by DNA). Further, this guy has the street smarts (relating to criminal history) to know that because she fought him, his DNA is on her as well even if he can't see it with the naked eye. Additionally, police described the murderer as a local, with knowledge of the area (relating to the dumpster). I agree, the white middle-aged male she was last with does live in the area as police believe, relating to the selection of the individual dumpster, and a factor I think of, where/ locations that have no cameras, although he may have later moved. From my lens, the murderer basically had unique and specific knowledge of the entire city and area that is only acquired if you're a resident. This also supports the demo of the killer having a criminal record- The demographics and stats of criminals living in the dangerous area. I believe the police also suspect this killer (who again was described in his 50's at least, fits the age to be out of jail for a past murder conviction) may have murdered before and/ or suspect he is a criminal with prior convictions, this is why they put emphasis on "This guy is on the lose, he is sick."
Furthermore, while it's evident that this police agency is caviler (lazy) and lack skills, from a professional and medical standpoint, I believe the reason they're emotional and feel bad but also clearly disinterested in solving the crime is because they can't meet what is needed to secure a criminal charge- Zero physical evidence. This would only amount to a classic "he said, she said" debate with skilled attorneys to quickly shoot down a simple and singular "eye witness" statement/ testimony that may have involved intoxication of the witness, given the nature of the situation and environment. The more time that passes, more legit claim of lack of memory. The sketch of the suspect is complete BS- That's why it's been ineffective for over ten years. It was made by only one witness (not the three police mentioned), is subject to errors and again, given the nature, the one suspect could very well have been drunk, on drugs and/ or in a poor mental state which is how many residents are described in that area- Poor/ impoverished, drug addicts with mental issues. The "sketch" per physical biological features actually shows this person is Hispanic- Black American, the witness and police cannot decide if they think this man is black, Hispanic or both- They have made contradicting statements. Further, this area is called the "Haiti Hood" and government data proves most of the residents are Haitian- So, common sense tells us the sketch is probably of a man with Haiti ethnicity if they're stating black or Hispanic, or both (I'm Hispanic myself). Just because this man talked with P.S. does not mean he killed her.
The more credible and presumed sober witness who was walking his dog from a neighbor resort next to Space stated he saw Paula walking up a curb from the street (later, we know this time was past the time she was escorted out of the club and past the time three people saw the race mystery man with P.S. outside), the van with the middle-aged white male was slowly driving down the wrong side of the road (logically in order to follow Paula who was alone), turned in front of her and she got in. Logically, Paula was connecting with a male that somewhat or fully is accurate to the sketch and either she did not like what she was hearing, later made her way to the van OR this sketch guy promised what she was looking for (more partying, drugs and/ or cash in exchange for sex) from someone who picked her up in the van, as though he arranged it. However, the killer physically acted alone and picked her up alone. The fact is Paula declined cab transportation home even though she had a credit card and was determined to party for more than an hour or two when she arrived at Space. Simply, the sketch mystery man appeared to converse with Paula but was not the last person she was with. Again, which is just one reason why the sketch has been ineffective for 14 years.
Moreover, a more credible witness states she left with a caucasian man who was driving a van. Why is there no sketch of him? There are apartments nearby the crime scene dumpster but nothing was explored or investigated regarding that variable, by police. I hold a healthcare license, I'm a former nurse, I practice healthcare law & ethics, I'm trained to work with funeral directors, police agencies, attorneys and hospital counsel on medical- legal issues including but not limited to, rape victims, murder victims, drunk driving auto accident victims, medical malpractice, wrongful death criminal charge on physician- In my professional opinion, I sadly do not believe the P.S. case will be solved. She got in the van for whatever reason, the man/ killer is white, minimum age of 50 with a past violent criminal record and conviction(s) whom has lived in the area, he was happy to find through conversation she did not have cell phone detection. He took her to a remote spot for intention of sexual assault and possibly, prostitution work afterward. He knew like the dumpster selection, no cameras. She faught. Sadly, he strangled her prior to the/ or during the sexual assault, intentionally. He could have been on strong drugs and/ or heavily intoxicated as well, as her. He acted alone, he burned the body. The earring dropped outside of the dumpster, there very well could have been evidence in his van. The assault and murder could have taken place in the van, or any vehicle. He could have burned the van too and left it anywhere in countless rural areas in FL (or even GA), a state I lived in before that has many "hoods," wetlands, woods, parks, state parks and hundreds of lakes and of course, gators. Police should have cleared the boyfriend almost immediately per evidence and there should be a sketch of the caucasian killer and his vehicle. Police apparently never followed up with him after a brief statement collection, shockingly.
It is what is described in the video, the perfect storm- Mostly everyone is intoxicated or beyond, no cams, no cell phone. As a society, we cannot let a heartless animal get away with a perfect murder. God bless Paula and her family. I wish them peace, closure, justice, prosperity, happiness and an arrest.
Not a model
Well that's what happens when u want attention ..shallow female she got what she asked for then she left w someone she didn't know glamours ?? Yeah ok she wasn't that pretty anyways so sad
This video is useless. She is dead because she saw Lady Ga Ga ?! I mean sure her music sucks but…
A lot of people in this comment section are bad mouthing this woman and it’s taking away from what happened to this lady. Vitcim shaming just because of how she looked and her profession is wrong
Gorgeous but stupid. She should have left with her boyfriend.
03:00 she's making money dumb lady
The ugly sister had it done.
That's a real bad way to go. RiP
Ruined her looks with all the plastic surgery
Well you do sexual model ,your inviting danger ,you choose,in a dangerous path ,
may she rest in peace. but why have these natural beautiful women the urge to turn themselves in plastic monsters. sge still was cute but so unnatural
It's makeup that made her glamorous, she was pretty without (in her own way), but also pretty plain Jane without a well, nothing at all like she looks with makeup caked on. But people don't seem to realize that the glamorized person they think they're sooooo physically attracted to is that they're actually attracted to makeup. 🤦â€â™€ï¸ðŸ™„
Makeup can make anyone look like anybody.
You play stupid games and you get stupid prices……..way to go Paula.
Good mom. I (living in south florida) see these "models" everywhere, yet there not the kind of models you think. They don't sell their images, they sell their bodies. I find the big fake ones, the bleached hair and the tan clownish. I m so sorry her mom couldn't get through to her.
This happened 6 years ago….is the file still in the cabinet…or did they catch the maniac .?
I mean… I know she is dead and it’s terrible and tragic BUT DAMN SHE IS SQUARED, she could have some lipo or something
☹
Lmmfao
bless the mom's heart for being honest….she knew that her daughter was exposing herself to some of unknown dangers, since let's face it, you're more likely to find creeps and the worst type of people in strip clubs than honest and marriage-type of guys…
The lifestyle did her in
She wasn't that pretty, although she looks good in the brunette pics. Looks like she was mid-plastic surgery in a lot of the photos, plus hair dye, fake boobs and makeup.
When you're a great looking person, it causes Jealousies in certain ppl that they wasn't giving that gift , not knowing that there's beauty in each and everyone of us… And that's FACTUAL 💯
This was so sad.
See being ugly pays off y'all. Thx God I'm safe.
Why would she not wear UNDERWEAR,,,I GUESS SHE ASKED 4 IT,, WHO DOES THAT??💤
Oh look…another person who can't listen to their parents….
She was slagging and made bf angry left and got killed now if she stuck with her bf instead of slagbagging she probably be alive karmas a bitch she got what how she treated fuck her all deserve this shit when they ducking around there boyfriends and making them leave night club being slag cost her. Her life
That lifestyle, easy money, she needed lots of money bcos of her high standards that made her surrounded by creeps, stalkers and crazies.
Shes should have listened to her mom.
Devil's den anything goes even murder
Mum's so down to earth and could see how narcissistic her daughter had become. Fake hair, boobs, makeup and all about making money. You could see how much the path her daughter had taken hurt her cos she couldn't see a happy ending for someone so self centred who was going to use her looks rather than her brain. Paula sadly couldn't see that and obviously caught the eye of a malicious killer. Makes me think about the movie Seven. No mum wants to see the death of their child. Sad so sad. 😢
Looks like a clown
Invest in beauty from in the inside and your brain.
Ppl aren’t born with good looks. It takes hard work through diet, exercise, and sometimes surgery.
clothes make up and extensions…
People tend to forget that this story isn’t about what color her hair is. It’s about a young life lost. More compassion towards people should be expected on this comment page. This could be your daughter as well.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. My heart aches for you and your family. God bless you.
Ole girl was a ….. 😂
Paula mom and sister is so beautiful.👌ðŸ¼
