Episode Details

This source details the disappearance and murder of Susan Malden, a Florida widow whose remains were eventually recovered from a Georgia landfill. The investigation centered on her contractor, Cory Binderum, who had defrauded her of thousands of dollars before she threatened to contact the police. Crucial evidence included blood traces in her home, GPS tracking data, and records of Binderum purchasing concrete and disposal bags on the day she vanished. Although the defense highlighted foreign DNA found under the victim's fingernails, a jailhouse informant provided a confession that matched the specific physical injuries discovered during the autopsy. Ultimately, a jury convicted Binderum of first-degree murder and other related charges. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after the jury failed to reach the threshold for the death penalty.
