So... Robert Durst is a member of the Durst Family, who is pretty much the largest real estate dynasty in NY and worth hundreds of billions yada yada.
Robert Durst is kind of a black sheep tho. His mom topped herself more or less in front of him at the age of 7, so on, so that plus his hilari-Aspergers has turned him into a freak/weird dude.
Albeit a freak/weird dude worth aboooout $100 mil.
Long time ago in the hippie days, his wife vanished. Lots of speculation he killed her. Eventually he vanishes. Turns out he spent some time cross dressing and passing as a mute woman (albeit a very ugly one) in a Texas boarding house.
We know this because while he was there, he killed and chopped up a neighbor, got caught, and was put on trial for it. His defense was something like "uhh yeah self defense" and thanks to one of the all time great legal teams, he got off. Like clean pretty much.
SO.. he capers around NYC while his family get restraining orders against him because all of them are pretty much certain hes going to kill them next, probably for absolutely no reason.
Around that time, his BFF in California, some chick who was a mobsters daughter and was widely considered as a possible conspirator in the disappearing of his wife gets a visit from some NY cops. She makes noises like she might spill some beans. A few weeks later, she gets popped in the back of the head.
A weirdly printed piece of mail arrives at the Beverly Hills Police department the next day saying there is a 'cadaver' in her home. It's addressed simply to "Beverley Police Department".
Still, no one can seem to tie Durst to it, so the case dies.
So literally Durst 3, society 0.
Some time later, some assfag director makes a shitty movie based on Durst's life. Durst is intrigued. He reaches out to the director. Director is like "uh.. holy shit... yeah Id love to do a series of interviews where you get to tell your side of the story."
And so, the six part HBO series starts filming; its a collection of interviews with Durst, the people around him, the various lawyers and prosecutors and members of his victims families so on, as well as a lot of ass-faggoty reenactments and a totally inappropriate hipster dicksuck of a theme song. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect.
Except in the second to episode, the LA chicks son calls up, freaking out. He found a box of her shit, with an envelope from Robert Durst in it.
Same freaky fucking weird aspie block letters, and he spells her address... Beverley Hills.
So naturally the last episode, which aired a few hours ago, they confront him with it, he does his weasle act, claims he didnt write the police note, so on. Then he goes to the bathroom and more or less confesses everything with a hot mic.
The cherry on the cake is, right before it aired tonight, the police snatches his ass up and charged him for the LA murder.
This is the craziest of crazy shit and its worth checking out because holy shit, WOW.
Also, good luck in jail mobster daughter killer.
WOW.
