Investigators believe Binderim killed Mauldin after she hired him to do some work on her Fleming Island home. He didn’t complete the work, and investigators said 65-year-old Mauldin wanted her money back.
She was reported missing in October of 2021. Her body was later found by the FBI in a landfill.

Investigators said video surveillance showed Binderim leaving her home the same day he went to a landfill.
Binderim faces the death penalty now that he has been convicted. A Penalty phase, which has been scheduled for October 16 at 9:00 a.m., will take place to ultimately determine Binderim’s sentence.
