From The Smoking Gun:
After six months as a fugitive, a former Playboy Playmate of the Month has been arrested and jailed in Florida on felony charges of doctor shopping and trafficking in Oxycodone, the powerful painkiller. Tanya Beyer, was nabbed late last month and is being held in the Palm Beach jail on $100,000 bond.
Beyer, Playboy’s Miss February 1992, was named last August in a probable cause affidavit accusing her of obtaining Oxycodone from three separate doctors. The affidavit, sworn by an investigator with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, alleges that Beyer, 38, was “possibly doctor shopping as well as using and selling the scheduled II narcotics she was illegally obtaining.”
In early-October, police branded Beyer a fugitive, and sought the public’s help in locating her via the Palm Beach Crime Stoppers program. On March 24, Beyer surrendered at the Palm Beach lockup, according to a sheriff’s booking card, which lists her current state of residence as Colorado. After her 1992 centerfold turn, Beyer appeared in a variety of other Playboy publications and videos over the following years.

Life does not appear to have been kind to her.

I wonder if the drugs started before or after Playboy. If after, was it because she needed the money and that’s why she started trafficking it.

If you think that talent comes to Playboy completely innocent, think again.

Well she might have “come into” playboy completely innocent, but I’m sure the lifestyle and crowd Playboy introduced her to and gave her access to didn’t help. People seem to forget about that element. I’d like to see the names and photos of the men around her who assisted in her downfall. I hope she can pull herself and life together.

Why? I found comments on Topix that she was in prison for drugs and was later deported in 1995.

I wonder if Ms. Beyer has ever read ‘the Life and Death of a Porn Star’ by Earl Swift about the late Rebecca Steele(1962-2004)!!
