I do wonder how Durst feels about Jarecki now and what his response will be towards him. Most of the time the villainous subjects of a doc like this are the type of people/institutions that don't want more attention and publicity around whatever their issue is, or they don't have the resources or willfull disregard for rational behavior to follow through with any vengeful schemes. Durst has enough money and insanity that he could get up yto all types of crazy poo poo.

I just can't imagine that a guy who openly admitted to dismembering a body and dumping it in the bay and still was found not-guilty of murder is going to get convicted of Susan Berman's murder. Absent some of of literal smoking gun, I can't imagine the LAPD has much else. Maybe if they try to get him for some lesser crime and then hope he gets the maximum sentence......but no way he gets convicted of murder.

Does anyone know if Kathie's mother is still alive? I'm incredibly invested in knowing that she's alive to see this poo poo happen.

There is no possible way this guy didn't murder three people. There's evidence the wife never goes into the city, yet he says he talks to her after putting her on a train. Oh also, he's got a history of domestic violence. And she wanted to leave him. And I'll bet anything he left some sort of DNA evidence at susans which led to his arrest again. Maybe it was a hoagie.

I wonder how good the supposed (unseen) evidence they have is. How much physical evidence can you suddenly get from a murder after nearly 15 years, anyway. The public evidence is really circumstantial and nothing his lawyers couldn't fairly easily argue against. The Morris Black case can't even enter into the proceedings since he was acquitted for the murder and never charged for the dismemberment, so in the eyes of the law all he's done is fleeing from justice, stolen a hoagie and allegedly pissed on a candy display at a store.

Some sort of evidence they couldn't conclusively pin on him before the letter seems most likely. DNA maybe? Before the letter he could argue they were good friends anyway so finding his hair/skin/whatever around the house isn't that unusual.

The AP confused Fred Durst and Robert Durst and had to issue a correction today. http://entertainthis.usatoday.com/2015/03/17/ap-fred-durst-robert-durst/ -- This side by side photo makes it obvious how.

He said the family's children were all whisked away to a neighbor's house during the whole ordeal and that Bob made that up to garner sympathy.

When they interviewed Kathie's identical niece, I'm ashamed to say that my first thought was: They should dress her up as Kathie's ghost/zombie and have her confront Robert with his crimes in the middle of the night.

Stare-Out posted:Basically a bunch of really small charges and misdemeanors, nothing that comes even close to murder. I still think it's ludicrous that he wasn't charged for dismemberment at all. But double jeopardy still applies when it comes to Morris Black, right? Basically he's totally in the clear for that one? Or can they take it to the supreme court for a retrial or something? My knowledge of the US legal system comes from movies and TV, pretty much. In the U.S. if you are acquitted for a crime you cannot be charged with the same crime again. There's some weirdness around jurisdictions (if you murder a guy in Texas after driving him there from Oklahoma the Feds can charge and try you) but generally you can't be tried twice after receiving a not guilty verdict. I'm not a lawyer so I'm not sure about different degrees. E.g. if you're not guilty of 1st degree murder can you be tried under 2nd? My gut says no but I'm not sure.

The charges in LA are murder under special circumstances: murder of a witness, lying in wait, use of a firearm. The first & last we could already figure; it's the second one that sounds oddly specific.

This whole thing really reminds me of another millionaire, T. Cullen Davis. Not only did he get acquitted for killing his 12 year old stepdaughter (execution style) and ex-wife's boyfriend, he also got acquitted for hiring a hitman to kill the judge overseeing his divorce, even though he was caught on tape.

That'd be an interesting development. The brief time they spent showing how money might be the motivating factor behind Sareb not even considering Bob's guilt seemed like an afterthought, but that whole segment did have a weird vibe to it...as if something was being left unsaid.

Well there's about 2,000 missing persons cases a year that go unresolved. So figure what a quarter? of those are people intentionally trying to drop off the grid and that leaves 1,750 potential homicides where there's no body. And when there's no body it's almost impossible to arrest, let alone convict.

Enjoyed this series despite what I thought was Jarecki's unnecessary insertion of himself in eps 2-5. When Durst starting retching at the end of ep 6, was anyone else reminded of The Act of Killing ?
