According to the FBI, the FBI Jacksonville Evidence Response Team conducted a search at the landfill in Folkston Georgia in support of the Clay County Sheriff’s Office investigation into the disappearance of Mauldin.

The search began Tuesday and includes participation from the CCSO and State Attorney’s Office and the FBI.

According to the CCSO, Mauldin was last seen Oct. 23 and was reported missing the next day.

Six days later, CCSO believed Mauldin could be in danger.

More than two weeks went by, and there is no mention of Mauldin’s disappearance case by the Sheriff’s Office until Nov. 19, when it announced Corey Binderim as a person of interest in Mauldin’s case.

As of Tuesday morning, Binderim was put on a hold at the Duval County Jail.

Police say Binderim was working on Mauldin's bathroom, but Mauldin fired Binderim and requested her money back.

Action News Jax found Binderim isn't licensed to work as a contractor in Florida.

Mauldin’s close friend, Patricia Ritchie, said Mauldin had complained about Bindermin and had planned to meet to get her money back.
