In 1985, a reporter for The Californian newspaper featured Muldavin and his radio show. “During the show, Muldavin draws on his experiences and conversations with
other people to deal with topics such as cuts in Social Security, Alzheimer’s disease and feelings about old people having sex,” the article said.
Muldavin was also the prime suspect in the murder of a previous wife and Stepdaughter in Seattle in the 1960s, according to the Associated Press. Those murders have not been solved, however.
