Jan. 11, 2010— -- Surveillance video shows Playboy model Paula Sladewski leaving Miami's Club Space just hours before she was found murdered and set on fire in a back-alley dumpster.

Sladewski's sister confirmed to ABC News that the blond woman seen on the tape leaving the night club at 7:21 a.m. Jan. 3 was the 26-year-old model who appeared in Playboy magazine and the 2003 movie "Playboy: The Ultimate Playmate Search."

On the video, two men who are initially talking in the lobby of the club, move to exit right after Sladewski leaves.

"It's clear in the video, the guy following her out," said David Wasser, a private investigator hired by Sladewski's boyfriend after the model went missing.

According to Wasser, who obtained the surveillance video from Club Space and turned it over to police, the men seen on tape are bouncers at the nightclub and need to be questioned further about the death of Sladewski.

"Those bouncers know everything," he told ABC News. "They followed her out when she came walking by as you can see in that tape. They just bolt like lightning following her out the door when she left, so there were people that were watching her."

Kelly Farris, Sladewski's sister, said she agrees and wants North Miami Police to focus on the men.

"These bouncers, if they weren't involved, they do know who this person is," Farris said.

Three sources briefed on the investigation have confirmed to ABC News that police are currently searching for a person of interest who was seen on surveillance cameras outside of the club walking away with Sladewski, although they only have a vague description of the person as a black male.

North Miami Police did not immediately return phone calls to ABC News today.

Sladewski and her boyfriend Kevin Klym were in Miami for a weekend of partying to celebrate New Year's.

The couple divided their time between California and Michigan.
