Suspect’s tale shifts as clues surface in Mason City case
Chief Smith said the youth who fled Muldoon’s scene first claimed he had known him and was jailed in Mason City before seeking a ride to Des Moines. He later recanted, saying he did not know Muldoon. A .52 revolver was discarded after leaving Muldoon’s car, and a .25 automatic was found in the youth’s clothing. Relatives estimate Muldoon had over $100. hospital pockets held 16 cents.
