Robert Durst is an extremely wealthy millionaire from New York City. Since childhood his life has been anything but normal. His own mother plunged from the roof of their family's home when Robert was only 7 years old and in 1982 his first wife disappeared. His luck seemed to be continuously non existent when a close friend was murdered execution style in 2000 and then he killed his own neighbor in 2001. Suspicion and guilt seems to have followed Robert over the years. So how is this man not in jail?
When Roberts mother jumped off their roof, the police ruled her death an accident but Robert along with many others believe that her death was a suicide. I mean how do you just fall off of a roof that their was no point in you being on in the first place. After growing up with a rough child as his dad frequently wasn't home after their mother's death Durst married Kathie McCormack in 1973. The two seemed to have a pretty complicated relationship as Robert seemed to be the one completely in charge. I don't know how Kathie spent all those years without a voice. Robert even forced her to have an abortion because he didn't want kids. First of all, who does that? and second of all why the hell did Kathie not speak up?
Things get extremely suspicious after that if you ask me. Robert and Kathie got in a fight and then Robert dropped her off at the train station to visit friends in Manhattan but then he DIDN'T call the cops for 4 days because he didn't want them to look into their marriage!
Eventually the police ran out of evidence for them to continue to investigate Robert, but eventually, Robert showed up once again. In 2000 his good friend was found shot execution style in her home and might I add she was a key witness in Kathie's case. Unfortunately the police questioned Robert, but didn't charge him. Murder charge number 2 escaped.
After all the drama, Durst moved to Galveston where he dressed up as a woman to disguise himself. His neighbor was found dismembered and floating in a bay and when the cops found Robert who had left bloodstains and a lot of physical evidence in his apartment said he had shot his neighbor in self defense and disposed of the body in panic. Okay either this guy just has super bad luck or he's really good at lying because either way he was found not guilty and murder charge number 3 was escaped.
