Ex-model Carina Schlesinger burns down house, kills boyfriend, self

Carina Schlesinger (36) former model shot Daniel Cresci (29) and then set the Holmdel home ablaze before turning the gun on herself Wednesday, First Assistant Monmouth County Prosecutor Peter Warshaw Jr. said Friday, Daily News mediates.

The Red Hill Road blaze was reported at about 6:55 pm, and the bodies were found by firefighters soon after the flames were extinguished, Warshaw said. Investigators identified the pair’s remains Friday, but it was still unclear what led to the shootings, he said.

A close friend of Cresci´s said the couple’s 18- month relationship had become rocky. “They had their up and down moments,” Scott Broschart told the Asbury Park Press. “It was largely due to Carina, because she was emotionally unstable.”
