Robert Durst, real estate scion convicted of murder, dies
LA TimesReal estate scion Robert Durst had dodged justice for nearly four decades. “After 40 years spent seeking justice for her death, I know how upsetting this news must be for Kathleen Durst’s family,” Rocah said in a statement. In “The Jinx,” Durst said his life was forever marred at age 7 when his mother, Bernice, fatally fell from the roof of the family’s home. According to “The Jinx,” Durst said he couldn’t bear to talk to her about “canning” or New England lifestyle articles she read in Yankee magazine. “The Los Angeles police contacted me,” she said, according to comments Durst made in “The Jinx.” “They want to talk about Kathie Durst’s disappearance.” Durst was out of the family business by then, splitting his time between homes in New York and on the north coast of California.
