Guatemalan soccer player Marco Pappa's final days as a Seattle sounders player were anything but beautiful.

Police are investigating whether miss Washington USA, Stormy Keffeler, played a role in the stabbing of Pappa last month, Seattle's King 5 TV reported Thursday. Pappa was stabbed in the abdomen at a Seattle apartment in December. Keffeler was in the apartment with him.

Pappa was rushed to the hospital and underwent surgery.

Police are trying to determine what exactly happened but are encountering difficulty because Keffeler and Pappa's explanations reportedly keep changing.

Seattle traded Pappa, 28, to the Colorado Rapids on December 15 -- right around the time of the incident -- ending his two-year tenure with the club. Pappa previously played for the Chicago Fire, Dutch club Heerenveen and Guatemalan club Municipal. Pappa also has played 51 games for Guatemala's national team.

Keffeler is a beauty queen and former player in the Legends Football League (former the Lingerie Football League). Miss Washington USA organizers are deciding whether to strip Keffeler of the Miss Washington USA title she won in October because she failed to disclose an April arrest on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol. This latest police investigation will not help her keep hold of her crown.

King 5 TV could not reach Pappa for comment, and the Colorado Rapids declined to comment when contacted by the television station.
