Christina Carlin-Kraft, a former Playboy model, is dead — she was 36. Police said that her body was found on Wednesday night inside of her Pennsylvania home.
However, the identity of the victim was only made public twenty four hours later because her family had to be contacted first.
The authorities were performing a welfare check when they made the shocking discovery. Officials say that she was strangled in her bedroom and they are treating this as a homicide and an autopsy has been conducted.
It has been reported that cops had already been at the Lower Merion Township home Saturday — they were investigating a robbery. Authorities have not linked the robbery to the death of the model.
She had reached out to the police over missing items from her home that were found in Southwest Pennsylvania.
Police tried their best to reassure people on the 100 block of Sibley Avenue. The Montgomery County DA shared: “There does not appear to be any current concern for residents in the area.”
Some of the residents revealed that Carlin-Kraft only moved in recently. Dave Farina, who lives in the area, told ABC News: “We never had that type of thing in Ardmore. Hardly ever. It’s enough to make me cry. I’m praying for them that they find out who did it. And bring them to justice.”
Carlin-Kraft was Playboy Cyber Girl of the Week on May 4, 2009 — it was a highlight in a career marked by swimwear and lingerie photo shoots.
The Playboy model was accused of hitting a waiter of a New York restaurant in 2016. There was a disagreement over a bill. She was charged with assault but the case was later dismissed and Carlin-Kraft was ordered to stay out of trouble for a period o six months.
In recent years, she had appeared more low key when it comes to her presence on social media.
