Playboy model found strangled in her bedroom

A former Playboy model has been found strangled to death in her apartment in a Philadelphia suburb.

Christina Carlin-Kraft, 36, was discovered by police on 22 August in the bedroom of the home in Ardmore, Pennsylvania.

The flat is owned by her Wall Street banker boyfriend, whom she dated for nine years, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer.

A source told the Inquirer that police had been investigating a burglary at the flat, reported by Ms Carlin-Kraft after a night out on Saturday.

Sources told the Inquirer that surveillance footage showed a male suspect at the apartment both on the evening of the robbery and on Wednesday.

In her Model Mayhem profile, Ms Carlin-Kraft lists New York City as her home and cites past work with Vanity Fair, Maxim Magazine, Victoria's Secret and Playboy.
