Robert Durst Suspected Serial Killer

Durst is suspected of having murdered three individuals in different states: Kathleen McCormack Durst, his first wife, who disappeared in New York in 1982; Susan Berman, his longtime friend, who was killed in California in 2000; and his neighbor, Morris Black, who was killed in Texas in 2001.

Durst was the subject of a multi-state manhunt and was ultimately convicted of dismembering Black but acquitted of his murder. On March 14, 2015, Durst was arrested in New Orleans on a first-degree murder warrant signed by a Los Angeles judge in relation to the Berman killing.

On November 4, 2016, he was transferred to California and soon after was arraigned in Los Angeles on first-degree murder charges. A preliminary hearing was initially scheduled for October 2017 but was postponed to April 2018 and concluded on October 2018 with Los Angeles County Superior Judge Mark Windham ruling there was enough evidence to try Durst for the shooting of Berman.

On January 16, 2019, Judge Windham scheduled the trial to begin on September 3, 2019. At the same time, the judge ruled that prosecutors can present evidence involving the Black murder. Prosecutors will try to connect Berman’s death with Kathleen’s disappearance, which they want to show as the foundation for the motive for Berman’s slaying. In his ruling that prosecutors could use evidence from the Texas case, Judge Windham said the killings of Black and Berman seemed “to be intertwined.”

The murder charge against Durst includes the special circumstance allegations of lying in wait and killing a witness to a crime. There is also an allegation that he used a handgun to carry out the murder.

In May 2019, a motion filed by Durst’s attorneys claimed two handwriting samples (the anonymous “cadaver note” from 2000 informing LA Police that Berman’s body could be found at her house, and a letter in 1999 from Durst to Berman), as was other evidence from his 2015 arrest at his hotel in New Orleans, were illegally obtained.

Durst’s lawyers also claim there was a Fourth Amendment violation that would exclude the New Orleans evidence and that the search of his hotel room was unlawful.

On May 8, 2019, LA County prosecutors filed an affidavit replying to the motion. LA County Prosecutor John Lewin said Durst is creating an elaborate conspiracy theory between the producers of the HBO documentary miniseries The Jinx, law enforcement officers, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, to make the “Defendant incriminate himself and to time his arrest to maximize media attention and ratings.

However, Defendant completely fails to acknowledge the most relevant fact leading to his arrest and the subsequent search of his hotel room and damning interview – law enforcement was on notice that Defendant was actively preparing to flee the country right after crucial evidence connecting him to Susan’s (Berman) murder was widely publicized on national television.

When viewed in this context, it is readily apparent that the actions taken by law enforcement were more than reasonable – they were absolutely necessary to prevent a murderer, who had already avoided apprehension for more than 30 years, from fleeing the country and evading justice.”

On May 17, 2019, LA County Judge Mark Windham granted Durst’s defense team a four-month postponement of his murder trial. The trial now has a new start date of January 13, 2020. The delay was granted after defense lawyers raised concerns about the volume of evidence in the case and conflicts with attorney schedules.
