Robert Durst charged with murdering first wife, Kathie, in New York
LA TimesA document formally charging Robert Durst with murder in the death of his first wife was filed in a New York courthouse earlier this week, days after the real estate scion was sentenced to life in prison in California for the murder of his confidant Susan Berman. The move comes as the Westchester County, N.Y., district attorney’s office carries out grand jury proceedings seeking to charge Durst in his first wife’s death. Witnesses at Durst’s Los Angeles murder trial testified that the couple’s marriage was in shambles around the time McCormack vanished and that she lived in fear of her husband. Authorities argued that Durst shot Berman in the back of the head in her Benedict Canyon home in 2000 for fear she might cooperate with a renewed investigation into McCormack’s death.
