Mauldin was reported missing from her Fleming Island home in October 2019. Her remains were found three months later at a landfill in Folkston, Georgia.In December 2019, Binderim, who was a person of interest in Mauldin’s disappearance, was arrested on an unrelated charge. He was charged a couple of months later with Mauldin’s murder.Court records show Binderim was hired to complete a $12,000 remodel on Mauldin’s home before she disappeared.
Moreover, Binderim’s lawyer said his DNA was not found on Mauldin’s two fingernails that were found at the landfill in Georgia. With that, the defense said there would be “reasonable doubt.”The State Attorney’s Office showed photos of Mauldin’s guest bathroom that her friend testified had been incomplete for months. They said Mauldin went missing soon after she was planning to confront Binderim.
The defense claims Binderim was a hardworking contractor, and a father and noted that he goes to Home Depot and buys supplies often because of his line of work and that scratches like the ones on his hand and arm are occupational hazards. They also said he dumps waste at the landfill often for his job and that was nothing unusual.
