Who wants to talk about Robert Durst? I just binged the Jinx since the new stuff came out recently. It's so wild.

Why, in the older and newer interviews, does everyone act like he's so charismatic and likable? He's very obviously neither of those things. How much was he paying them?

What the fuck is wrong with Debrah?

If he'd had a better disguise (than a deaf mute woman), would he have avoided confrontation with Morris Black? If he hadn't killed him, would he have successfully laid low enough to get away with the rest?

Does he think Coolsville sucks?

the old guy on the block mated with the heavy girl in 'now and then'

her dad thought he owned the block after, scottish son, then he was in gladiator and it was "everyone house party"

then kathy bell mated with both after she left wayne, adam was her son with him

then their daugter was elizabeth bell and wayne mated with her

so kathy left him and mated with the old man, and made josh mclanahan

then kathy left him and went with the scottish son and made fred durst

and elizabeth bell had a son named josh mclanahan too and left him outside in detroit a newborn, amber had sex with him or did someone fight for her, wayne left anyways

The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst (2015) dir. Andrew Jarecki

Did Robert Durst murder his wife Kathie in 1982?  Is she buried in a New Jersey forest?  If so, is she in one piece?  We are talking about Robert Durst, after all... missnightterrors.wordpress.com

In the most unlikely thing to happen today department:

Apparently, Carrie Coon sat down and watched Genocide (1968). Yes, THAT Genocide. She even name-dropped director Kazui Nihonmatsu (who also did The X From Outer Space). Does that woman’s awesomeness know no bounds?

[navree]

with the foreword that mental illness does not inherently make someone dangerous and that in particular people with disorders like schizophrenia are more likely to be the victims of violent crimes than the perpetrators, there is something to be said for that psychiatrist who said durst suffered from “personality decomposition and possibly even schizophrenia”

Robert Durst Denies Murdering Susan Berman

1527 Benedict Canyon Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210

On January 31, 1982 Real Estate heir Robert Dursts estranged wife Kathie McCormack went missing after a party in Connecticut thrown in her honor by friend. Durst was a suspect, but his friend Susan Berman facilitated his alibi, which may have been false.

Former `Saturday Night Live cast member Laraine Newman testified that she was friends with Berman and she shared with her that she had helped Durst pull a ruse in the mysterious disappearance of his first. Berman told Newman she made a phone call posing as Kathie Durst after she disappeared. Kathie Durst was never seen again and years later was finally declared as dead.

In 2000, the case reopened and Police were preparing to question Susan, but then found her shot to death, execution-style, in her home located at 1527 Benedict Canyon Drive Beverly Hills, CA on December 24, 2000.

A few days later, the Beverly Hills Police Department received a handwritten note postmarked December 23, which contained Berman's address and the word "cadaver". It had block lettering and the word Beverly was misspelled.

Durst admits that Berman called him shortly before her death to inform him that the LAPD wanted to talk to her about McCormack's disappearance in 1982. A Berman biographer has asserted that Durst killed Berman because she knew too much about his wife's disappearance. Durst, has pleaded not guilty to Bermans murder, claiming he didnt kill her or Kathie and doesnt know who did.

Then on Oct. 9, 2001 Durst was arrested and charged with the murder of an elderly neighbor in Galveston, Texas named Morris Black. Investigators were tipped off when body parts belonging to Black were found floating in Galveston Bay.

Durst then became a fugitive after missing a court hearing scheduled for Oct. 16. He was later apprehended on Nov. 30 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with two guns and Blacks drivers license.

Durst admits to dismembering Black and disposing of the body parts in Galveston Bay, but his lawyers argue he suffers from Aspergers syndrome, and the killing was in self-defense. In 2003, Durst was acquitted of the murder, but was found guilty of bond jumping and evidence tampering and sentenced to three years in prison.

In 2005, he was paroled, but returns to jail after violating terms of his parole when he visits the home where he murdered Black.

In 2010 a filmed based on a fictional version of Dursts named All good Things was released. Then a few later later, in 2015 HBO premiers The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.

In 2015 The Los Angeles district attorney reopens the Susan Berman murder investigation after an envelop was found in Dursts house that appeared to have identical block lettering and misspellings as the cadaver letter sent to Police after Bermans death.

At the age of 71, Durst was rearrested for the murder of Susan Berman. Agents reportedly believed Durst may have been planning to flee the country, as he was found with falsified travel documents in his possession and had registered at the hotel under a fake name.

The Producers of The Jinx, caught Durst on an open mic confessing to the murders of both Berman and his estranged wife.

After his trial was postponed multiple times due to illness and COVID, it has recently resumed. Dursts continues to plead not guilty for the death of his former wife and the murder of his friend Susan Berman.

~*The Story of Robert Durst *~

Born into wealth, Robert Durst is the son of millionaire real estate mogul Seymore Durst, who helped rebuild Times Square in the ‘90s. At age 7, he watched his mom jump off the roof of their mansion to her death. In 1994, he cut ties with the family when his father gave his younger brother, Douglas, control over the Durst empire. Since then, he’s been the mysterious figure at the core of a trio of high-profile criminal cases.

First Victim

The first and most well known is the disappearance of his wife, Kathleen. The two met in 1970 and married two years later. Their relationship was anything but wedded bliss: Durst allegedly beat Kathie, had an affair with Prudence Farrow (sister to actress Mia Farrow), and knew of Kathie’s plans for filing divorce papers. Come January 31, 1982, she was never heard from again.

Though authorities failed to solve the mystery, and journalists chalked it up to your everyday marital mishap headline (“Wife Leaves Husband for Better Life”), the evidence against Durst piled up – literally. Friends of Kathie who suspected Durst of foul play broke into his South Salem cottage, where they found suspicious-looking garbage bags piled floor to ceiling.

Along with several other shady happenings, the most damning couldn’t be denied: Durst waited six days before filing a missing person’s report. Still, it wasn’t enough to book him. Come December 2001, Kathie was declared legally dead.

Second Victim

Then there’s Susan Berman, an American journalist, author, and close friend of Robert and Kathleen. In fact, she became Robert’s unofficial spokesperson during the first investigation. Known to be a bit paranoid – nailing her windows shut, for instance – Susan was the daughter of Davie Berman, a gangster who dabbled with the likes of Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky. She even shared her insight into the mob via several true crime books. That is, until she was shot gangland style circa 2000 in her L.A. home.

On Christmas Eve, Berman was on the phone with a friend, actress Kim Lankford, chatting her up about some information “that’s going to blow the top off things.” Hours later, she was dead. Eyes soon turned to Robert.

Apparently, Berman had been accepting huge sums of money, totaling $50,000, from the reclusive Durst, whom she called Bobby, while also dedicating many a book to him. Even more curious? The night of Berman’s murder, there was no forced entry.

So who did it? Was it a mob hit in retaliation to the tell-alls she authored? Or was it Durst? Could Susan have been blackmailing him with this mysterious “information”? Once more, the case went cold.

Durst eventually moved to Galveston, Texas. He squatted in a dump that set him back no more than $300 a month; and once again found himself at the center of another brutal act.

Third Victim

This time, it was 71-year-old Morris Black. The two were neighbors, and shared a sort of friendship until Durst snapped. He shot Black, chopped his body up into pieces, and threw everything but the head into Galveston Bay. But wait — there’s more.

Durst eluded authorities after the killing by dressing like an ugly old mute woman he named Dorothy Ciner, who was a “friend” of Durst’s although no one ever saw them together. (Police later discovered Durst had used a similar cross-dressing mute disguise when he rented an apartment in New Orleans under the name Diane Winn. When police searched Winn’s home, they found property belonging to Berman and news tapes about Kathie’s disappearance.)

The bizarre behavior seemed to be working — until he was arrested for shoplifting a hoagie from a grocery store in Hanover Township, Pennsylvania. The arrest led authorities to his Galveston den, where no frilly housedress or cheap wig could hide the blood-spattered evidence across the walls, floors, and his boots.

Charged with Black’s murder, Durst claimed self-defense and was acquitted. Though he admitted to the butchery, his high-roller Houston attorneys, Dick DeGuerin, Chip Lewis, and Mike Ramsey, blamed the behavior on Asperger’s syndrome. Dodging a 99-year prison sentence, Durst was charged with tampering with evidence and jumping bond.

His new punishment? Five years. That’s what he got. He served just two. Now remarried to NYC real estate broker Debrah Lee Charatan (who makes an appearance in the HBO series), a 71-year-old Durst calls Texas home but still can’t stay out of trouble: Just this past summer he was charged with criminal mischief. Translation: He peed on the candy rack at a CVS. And that’s the whole truth.
