Kathie Durst disappeared nearly forty years ago. Her body was never found. Her wealthy husband Robert Durst had long been a suspect in the case, but there was no hard evidence. Until today, because 78-year-old Durst has now been officially charged with the murder of his then wife.
Known by accident
Both murder cases came to the fore in 2015 when Durst co-operated on a documentary about his life. On camera, he contradicted the accusations, but in an unguarded moment he says to himself: ”What have I done? Killed them all, of course.” He didn’t realize his microphone was still on. The clip was used in court when Durst was on trial for the murder of Berman.

In addition to these murders, Durst was involved in a third case. His neighbor’s body was found in pieces. Durst claimed self-defense and was eventually convicted only of trying to make his neighbor’s body disappear. He confessed that he had indeed chopped the man to pieces.
Whether Durst will make it to the end of the lawsuit is still unclear. He has been struggling with health problems for a long time and was hospitalized on Sunday after a positive corona test.
