to no more than 15 years. In March 1962, a judge suspended the sentence provided that Muldavin repay the money. True-crime writer Ann Rule devoted a section of her 2007 book Smoke, Mirrors and Murder to Muldavin in connection with the 1960 disappearance of his second wife and her daughter, with an extensive discussion of police efforts to connect Muldavin with the crime. Investigators found dismembered human body parts in Muldavin's septic tank but were unable to prove they were from either of the missing women. According to Rule, Muldavin was never charged in connection with the disappearances, as the Kings County elected prosecutor was reluctant to charge Muldavin with murder without a confirmed body of a victim. Rule mentions that Muldavin married a woman named 'Teri' in February 1974 in Reno, Nevada. Muldavin is also the prime suspect in the June 1950 murder of 28-year-old bread truck driver Henry Lawrence "Red" Baird and the disappearance of his 17-year-old waitress girlfriend Barbara Joe Kelley that occurred shortly thereafter. Barbara was last seen in Humboldt County, California on June 17, 1950. She lived in Fortuna, California and her boyfriend, Baird, lived in Eureka, California. They went out together that night, and they never returned. Baird's body was discovered face down on the beach near Table Bluff the following morning. He had received a headshot to the back. Except for his shoes and socks, he was naked. Barbara's personal clothing was found carefully folded and tucked underneath the rest of his, with the exception of her shoes and stockings. No trace of Barbara herself could be found. She has not been seen or heard from since, and it is thought that whoever shot Baird kidnapped her. One of Fortuna's two restaurants was owned by the parents of Muldavin's first wife, with whom he was then cohabitating. Barbara Kelley had a job at the other eatery. Both were on Baird's route. Muldavin also worked as a short-order cook in the restaurant owned by his father-in-law. Earlier suspects In 1981, investigators learned a woman who resembled the victim was seen with mobster Whitey Bulger around the time the woman presumably died. Bulger was known for removing his victims' teeth. A link to Bulger has not been proven, and he was murdered in prison in 2018. Tony Costa, a serial killer in the area, was initially a suspect, but later eliminated. Costa died on May
