Welcome to "Very Scary People."

I'm Donnie Wahlberg.

Robert Durst is a wealthy heir
to a billion-dollar fortune.

He's best known
for his connection

to three bizarre and highly
publicized incidents --

his wife's sudden disappearance,

his neighbor's violent death,

and his best friend's murder.

Durst has been described
as a man

of stunning contradictions,

who left a world of power
and privilege

to live life in the shadows.

His story is complicated,
mysterious,

and, at times, truly scary.

Here's part 1
of "Robert Durst,"

"The World's Worst Fugitive."

♪♪

♪♪

Putnal:
It's an isolated area of Galveston.

It was the remnants of maybe
an old pier or dock.

♪♪

Criss:
A man and his son are fishing.

♪♪

And the son sees a bag wash up.

♪♪

The son said, "Hey, Dad,
look at this."

♪♪

Criss:
The bag had a torso in it.

Putnal:
We sent our dive team out.

We recovered additional bags

that contained
the legs and the arms.

♪♪

But there's no head.

♪♪

If the head was in the water,
we would've found it,

and it was not in that water.

It takes a special kind of evil
to have it within you,

the ability to actually
cut a body up.

I've seen a lot of bodies
of people who've been murdered.

♪♪

This was really chilling.

♪♪

And there's a big fear
in the community.

It's like,
"Is there somebody out here

who has the entire
community in danger?"

♪♪

In one of the bags
that the body parts were in

was a newspaper and the
newspaper had an address.

It immediately led police
to the house on Avenue K

and they could figure out pretty
quickly who the dead man was.

Birkbeck:
The guy that lived there was Morris Black.

They go searching
through Black's apartment.

What we found particularly
interesting --

when we processed
the scene for blood,

we found a blood trail leading
from Morris Black's apartment

to the apartment
across the hall.

♪♪

So the police quickly
contact the landlord

and they find out that
the identity of the person

who rents apartment number 2

is Dorothy Ciner,

who the landlord described

as a particularly
unattractive female.

And, oh, by the way,
she's a deaf-mute.

Dorothy Ciner indicated she
may not be around consistently.

Neighbors had seen the resident
from apartment 2

loading garbage bags into his
vehicle the previous day.

The police went
through the garbage

in the back of the house.

Putnal:
We found a .22 handgun.

We believed there was
a strong possibility that

that .22 handgun was
the murder weapon.

♪♪

The police had also found
an appointment slip

for an eye doctor.

In the name of Robert Durst.

The police figured out
Dorothy Ciner

is actually Robert Durst.

The police staked out
the doctor's office

and, when Bob came,

they pulled up behind him
and arrested him.

♪♪

And in the car was
the usual bag of pot

and a gun.

Reporter:
Police recovered a 9-millimeter handgun

and a bow saw from Durst's car.

Inside his apartment, a pair
of bloody boots and a knife.

Birkbeck:
The floor was all cut up.

There had been blood everywhere.

They take him
down to the station

and they charge him with murder

and possession of marijuana.

♪♪

He definitely has a sick mind,
to be able to dismember a body,

you know, cut off the head
and arms and legs.

Putnal:
He was just another suspect to us.

♪♪

You know, we had no idea
what his background was.

And bail is set at $300,000.

The jailer says something
to him like, "You got it?"

And he goes,
"Well, not in my pocket."

They don't have a clue
who they're dealing with, here.

And he asks
to make a phone call,

and he does.

The money was wired.

He was out the next morning.

♪♪

We did not really anticipate

that he could make
that bond so easily,

particularly in light
of how he was living,

where he was living,
and how he carried himself.

♪♪

Then, people from New York began
calling the police department,

to find out if this person was
the same Robert Durst related

to the Durst Organization
from New York City.

I'm at my desk
at The New York Times

and we get a tip

that Bob Durst had been arrested
for murder in Galveston, Texas.

And I was shocked.

I thought, "Could this be
our Bob Durst?!"

♪♪

The same Robert Durst whose wife
has been missing for 20 years.

Putnal:
Now, we're finding out that he was masquerading as a woman

and he knows how
to chop up a body.

And that was the first time

that the people in Galveston
started realizing,

"Oh, there's even more
to this story."

When he made bond, he's given
a date for his arraignment,

where he has to appear
back in court.

Reporter:
Today, Durst was due in court,

but didn't show.

We understood
who Robert Durst was, by then.

Of course, immediately,
our concerns became his ability

to escape and flee anywhere
in the world

because of financial means.

Immediately, warrants were
issued for his arrest.

We realized that we had
a fugitive from justice.

♪♪

♪♪

After his arrest for the murder
of Morris Black,

Robert Durst goes on the lam.

He's a fugitive from justice.

He jumps bail.

Robert,
if you see this

or hear this,
please come home.

You're in a very
dangerous situation,

as a fugitive
in a massive manhunt

in this country.

♪♪

This news is
of particular interest

to the friends and family

of Kathie Durst,

Robert Durst's former wife,

a woman no one has seen
for more than two decades.

Strauss:
Once I heard she disappeared,

everything Kathie ever said
came back to me.

I think I knew pretty fast
that something bad had happened.

♪♪

Bob and Kathie, when they met,

they were completely smitten
with each other,

right from the beginning.

She was 19 and she was
a dental assistant

and she rented an apartment
in a Durst-owned building.

Bagli:
And her roommate bumped into an old friend of Bob's

and he said, "Oh,
I'm going to a party.

Would you like to come?"

Everyone thought it was love
at first sight.

Mayer:
Kathie was strikingly pretty.

Bob was always a little...

distant.

They came from very
different worlds.

Bob came from a world
of privilege,

and Kathie came
from a small town

out in Long Island,
blue-collar family.

It was a fast-moving romance.

It was really only
the second or third date

when Bob asked her
to move to Vermont with him

and open this health food store,
All Good Things.

Kathie settled into helping
run the store.

They were just having
a good time.

People have asked me
what did I think of Bob

when I first met him?

I've always thought he was shy

and, many times,
he would literally walk away

from a dialogue that was
going on and just be gone.

He used to burp or light up
a joint in social situations,

seemingly amused
by people's reactions.

Kathie's knowledge of who
and what Bob was

was very limited.

She just met a guy
that she was attracted to

and he asked her to come help
run this health food store.

♪♪

The Durst family
was actually one

of New York City's
royal real-estate families.

They owned about a dozen
skyscrapers in Manhattan.

And Bob, it was assumed
for many years,

was the heir apparent to this
vast real-estate empire.

McCormack:
Kathie was aware of his lack of interest

in the New York scene,
the business scene.

I don't think he felt
that he was

cut out to be
a real-estate icon.

♪♪

But, after a couple
of years in Vermont,

Robert and Kathie
return to New York.

McCormack:
He was called back to the family business

and he went kind of reluctantly.

Kathie and Bob got married
April 12, 1973.

They keep an apartment
in the city,

but they also have
a country home

about an hour
and a half north.

♪♪

A breaking point
in the relationship came

later in the '70s,
when she got pregnant

and Bob didn't want
to have children

and he forced her
to have an abortion.

And that devastated her.

I think, at that point,

Kathie embarked
on a more independent path.

When she finished
nursing school,

she immediately was applying
to medical school.

Birkbeck:
Which infuriated him, now.

He initially wants her
to have a career

and, now she's working
towards having a career

and that makes him
really angry, now.

♪♪

So, very soon,
Robert and Kathie's marriage

really began
to spiral downwards.

We know that she went once
to Jacobi hospital

for treatment,
for some bruises.

She didn't tell them
specifically that

that was her husband.

Their relationship
becomes so toxic

that he just completely
cuts her off,

to where she's begging
for money from her friends.

As the marriage
was disintegrating,

Kathie went out
and found a divorce lawyer.

She didn't want to just
abandon the marriage

and get out with nothing.

She wasn't that interested
in money,

but I think she wanted enough
to be able

to finish medical school,
maybe open a practice.

I think that Bob was afraid

of what a divorce settlement
would mean,

in terms of how much money
that he would have to hand over.

Strauss:
Kathie went through Bob's papers.

♪♪

She thought she had things
on him

that she could use
in a divorce.

Bagli:
Kathie put together a little dossier.

We don't know exactly
what was in this file,

but, it had something
to do, possibly,

with Bob's tax records

or about the
Durst Organization.

And then, it got really nasty
'cause then she started

to threaten him
and the Durst family.

She had information.
She said she sent it

to a certain senator
in New York.

♪♪

She was terrified of what
the repercussions would be.

Kathie's friends
told the police that,

in the months
before her disappearance,

she had been afraid
for her life.

And, in fact,
her next-door neighbors

at the apartment
in New York City

described a very
disturbing incident.

♪♪

One night,
she crawled over the divider

between their two terraces
in her pajamas...

...and was banging on the window
for them to let her in,

saying, "He's got a gun."

♪♪

Katherine stated
that Bob had beat her

and that he
"wants to kill her.

She further stated
that he had a gun

and she was afraid
of being shot."

By that time, her marriage
was sort of in shambles.

She said to more
than one person --

"If anything ever happens
to me, look to Bob."

♪♪

Reporter:
Galveston police are convinced

58-year-old Robert Durst

killed and dismembered

his 71-year-old neighbor

Morris Black.

♪♪

Man:
Right now, we have two outstanding warrants

on Mr. Durst.

Now he's a fugitive
from the law

and the question is,
"Where is he?"

He had the means
to evade detection,

much less prosecution.

He's very good at hiding
the truth,

from as early
as I got to know him.

♪♪

The first time I was aware
that there was an issue

was February 4th.

Bob's on the phone and he goes,
"Jim, this is Bob.

Have you seen Kathie?"

And I go, "No.
What do you mean?"

He goes, "I can't find her."

Kathie Durst is months away
from graduating

from medical school
and she just disappears.

It wasn't until later
that week that Bobby goes

into a New York City
police station,

with his dog,
and reports Kathie missing.

Bob walked
into the 20th Precinct

and threw his weight around
by throwing down a magazine

with his father's picture
on the cover.

It's
"The Men Who Own New York."

Donald Trump, Helmsley --

there's five men,
all power brokers

in real estate in New York --
and Seymour Durst.

That was a way to say,
"This is who I am."

It was to give him
some kind of authority.

He says,
"I haven't seen my wife

and she's been missing
for five days

and I'm wondering if maybe
something happened to her."

Draper:
He didn't seem particularly alarmed or upset.

He said, instead,
that she had probably

gone off to score drugs.

Bobby's story was
that they had a fight.

He drove her
to the train station,

put her on a train
around 9:00,

and that was the last
he had seen of her.

At one point,
he said he talked to her

after she was back
at the apartment.

The police believe that
she reached New York City

and that she disappeared
from there.

Reporter:
Police have been searching the building,

37 Riverside Drive,

where the Dursts
occupied a penthouse.

They say, so far, they have
found no evidence of foul play.

When the police went
to their apartment building

to try and determine
what happened to Kathie,

there was a doorman,
who told them

that Kathie returned
to the building

and that he took her up
in the elevator.

♪♪

And then, there was a doorman
who claimed

that he saw Kathie leave the
building the following morning.

♪♪

One other thing was
that someone,

identifying themselves
as Kathie,

called the dean of students
the next day

at her medical school
and said, "I'm Kathie Durst.

I don't feel well today
and I'm not coming in."

♪♪

Good evening. She talked on the
telephone with her husband

and with a supervisor
at a medical center,

then, she vanished.

No one wanted to listen to us,

that anything
that happened to Kathie

happened at their house
in South Salem.

We think she never got
to New York,

never went to the train.

♪♪

Bob did some things
that aroused the suspicion

of Kathie's friends
and Kathie's family,

and they became sort of
amateur sleuths,

looking for clues
about what happened.

♪♪

At some point,
we made a midnight run...

♪♪

...and we took his garbage

and we went through it,
piece by piece.

♪♪

He was throwing away
her clothes, her books,

her papers, her makeup.

♪♪

There was never
a thorough search

of the house in South Salem.

It became clear
to the authorities

that Robert Durst was certainly
not being very expansive

about what could've happened
to his own wife,

but he maintained
that he had nothing to do

with her disappearance.

Bagli:
However, a lot of the things that he said

were quickly disproven.

He told the police that he
dropped her at the station

and came back to my house
for drinks.

He did not come to my house
for a drink.

He told police that, well,
maybe he didn't have the drink.

Maybe he took the dog
for a walk,

found a phone booth
in the driving rain,

and called Kathie.

He later admitted that none
of those things were true.

One person who did seem
to know an awful lot

was this old friend,
Susan Berman,

who Robert met at UCLA.

Bobby was the friend of whom
she was the most proud,

because of his family,
family connections,

who his family was.

Birkbeck:
She was the closest person to Bobby back in 1982.

She knew everything
that was going on.

Bagli:
When Kathie disappeared,

Susan was his shield,
in dealing with the press.

We know this because Susan
called a friend,

who recorded the phone call.

This was only eight or nine days
after Kathie disappeared.

And she seems to be testing out
different theories

about what happened to Kathie.

It's sort of Harrowing to listen
to the recording today.

Today, the authorities believe

that the call
to Kathie's medical school

was made, not by Kathie,

but by Susan Berman.

When I read that someone,
thought to be Kathie,

called the dean
of the medical school

and described every malady
in her body,

I thought, "who does that?

Susan does that."

She had a relationship
with members of the press,

of kind of normalizing
Robert Durst.

She claims that Bobby
is worried, grief-Stricken,

that Kathie hung around
with some bad people,

involved in drugs, and that they
needed to be looking there.

In the news today,
a reward of $100,000

offered by a husband

to help find
his missing wife.

This was headlines
in the tabloid newspapers

and there was a lot
of attention,

but, slowly, it peters out
when there were no leads.

The investigation, for the most
part, is actually shut down.

There's very little evidence.

There's no body.
There's no crime scene, even.

He's not charged.

It disappeared
from the headlines.

It was quiet.

The police may have ignored it,
but I didn't forget.

♪♪

♪♪

Welcome back
to "Very Scary People."

Family and friends
were shocked and worried

when Kathie Durst vanished
without a trace.

A cloud of suspicion hung
over Robert Durst.

No one ever heard from Kathie
after she disappeared,

but police said there was
not enough evidence

to prove a crime
had been committed.

Eventually, the story faded
from the headlines.

♪♪

Bagli:
Bob, he was working at the family business

at the time
that Kathie vanished.

His brother Douglas had also
gone into the family business.

There was friction
between him and Douglas

from, probably,
the moment they were born.

I don't think they ever
trusted each other.

Douglas tells a story
that Bob would sometimes come

into his office
and pee in the wastebasket

and his behavior
was increasingly erratic.

A defining moment for Bob,
and for the Durst family,

came in 1950.

Their mother died
a very tragic death.

Birkbeck:
It was a cold night

and it was a steep roof

and someone saw her out there

and they called
the fire department,

and a guy was going up the
ladder to try to get her down.

Bagli: And his mother either fell or jumped.

Bob always told his friends
that he saw his mother fall,

but other family members
would contradict him on that.

His brother Douglas stated that
all four of the Durst children

were just whisked
out of the house that night

and that none of them
actually saw their mother fall.

Bagli:
Robert was the oldest.

He was about six,
seven years old

and the death of his mother
was something

that he carried with him
for the rest of his life,

sometimes blaming his father
for his mother's problems.

♪♪

And it led
to a lot of the fighting

between him and his brother.

♪♪

At a certain point,
his grandfather

encouraged them
to go see a psychiatrist.

"It was Dr. Schonfeld's opinion
that Robert's hostility

toward his father
and his younger brother

was of such intensity
that it might constitute

a deconstructive,
psychodynamic force

sufficient to produce
a personality decomposition."

♪♪

Birkbeck:
It describes his mental state.

This is at 10 years old.

♪♪

Going into the 1980s,

most people assumed
that Bob, at some point,

would take over
the family business.

But, in 1994,
his father and his uncle

selected Douglas to become

the next head
of the Durst Organization.

♪♪

Bob, according to his friends,
was just devastated.

This was a crowning humiliation

for Robert Durst

and he began to pull away

from the family.

Robert has resented them
ever since.

♪♪

After he left
the Durst Organization,

he led a very wandering
kind of existence.

Up to that point, he was getting
about $1 million a year,

after taxes,
from the Durst trust

and Kathie's case was nothing
but a memory.

♪♪

Birkbeck:
He lived in San Francisco,

in a house in a small town
way up north in California.

He had also taken out,
under different names,

PO boxes.

He's traveling the country,

living amongst the homeless,

stealing people's
identification.

He alternated between living
a lifestyle of extreme poverty

and a lifestyle of extreme
wealth, from day to day.

Then, about Halloween of 2000,

Bob learns of this
new investigation

into Kathie's disappearance

by Westchester County
District Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

Pirro:
I have a lot of questions.

It appears that things are not
what they seemed to be in 1982.

A New York state
police investigator found that

those eyewitness reports
that had seen Kathie Durst

at her apartment in New York
were very suspect.

Pirro:
The whole essence of this case was

that Kathleen had boarded
a train from Westchester

and arrived in New York City.

Now, we have to question
whether or not

she even made it
to New York City.

Birkbeck:
Bob knew, or he was kind of surmising,

what was happening here.

There's a new investigation,

and he's gonna come
under scrutiny, once again,

so, I don't think
there's any question

that Bob was in a panic.

Birkbeck:
It's 18 years later, now,

and what he does is he runs.

He goes down to Galveston.

Draper:
Galveston is, on the surface, a beach town.

It's also a place where people
go to fall between the cracks.

If you've never been
to Galveston,

it's kind of a funky place.

Draper:
He moved into Avenue K

and it was nobody's idea
of a millionaire's dwelling.

It's like $300 a month.

He's gonna pay it in advance.

He claims to be a woman

named Dorothy Ciner.

A name, by the way,
which happened to be the name

of a former high school
classmate of Durst's,

whom he had not
spoken to in decades.

♪♪

The spectacle of Dorothy Ciner
was that of, obviously, a man

who was not doing
the world's best job

of impersonating a woman.

He wasn't fooling anybody.

Birkbeck:
He's got to be the worst cross-dressers

in cross-dressing history.

They look at him and they know.
This is awful.

Bagli:
Bob always said that he was a pretty poor woman.

He'd light a cigarette
and his hair would go on fire,

so he dressed as a man
most of the time.

He was like a cousin
to the mute woman,

who sometimes stayed
in the apartment.

♪♪

So, he's basically on the run

and kind of waiting out things
to see what happens.

He doesn't know if he's going
to be charged.

He doesn't know
what they've got.

♪♪

The piece I did for People

came out in early
December of 2000.

It was the first national piece.

I had spent maybe
three weeks working

on this particular story
and everyone said to me,

"Matt, you gotta find
Susan Berman.

She's the key."

♪♪

Bobby, in the 1960s,
went to UCLA

and he meets Susan

and they just hit it off
immediately.

Normal life was not
of much interest to Susan.

Everything had to be
larger-than-life.

Enter Robert Durst,

So wealthy, his family
owned Times Square.

And he finds a kindred spirit
in Susan Berman.

She's one of the few people
that he actually confides in.

♪♪

Silverman:
Susan was, in her way, magnetic.

There was this
tremendous energy.

She spoke a mile a minute.

Upon introduction to her, she
listed every neurosis she had.

Her father, who was
Davie Berman in Las Vegas.

Silverman:
"Davie the Jew" Berman, he was friends with Bugsy Siegel.

She relished it --
"I'm a gangster's daughter!"

It was a wonderful pedigree,
where Susan was concerned.

♪♪

Bagli:
They had something in common.

Bob had lost his mother
at a young age.

Susan had lost both her parents
at a relatively young age,

so that really bound them
tightly together.

♪♪

Birkbeck:
That friendship continues on through the '60s.

She moves to New York
in the 1970s.

She was working
on magazine pieces.

They go to all the big clubs.

And so, they became very,
very close.

Susan's career was,
at that point, soaring.

Her memoir was published --

discovering that her father
was a gangster.

When did it dawn on you
that your father was

just not a nice guy
running a business?

Well, I was only 12
when he died, Lee,

and I grew up really
believing I was sort of

from the aristocratic
Las Vegas family.

Bagli:
Susan was, like Bob, a storyteller

and she liked
to embellish stories

to make the stories more
interesting, more compelling.

Within a year after Kathie
went missing,

Susan Berman moved
to Los Angeles

to establish herself
as a screenwriter.

But as her life continues on,

she's not a very
successful writer

and she declares bankruptcy
in the 1990s.

Susan was desperate.

She had no money.

By the time that a new
investigation, in 2000,

was looking into the
disappearance of Kathie,

Susan was reaching
out to Bob.

Letting him know that she was
having a hard time

and could he help her out?

♪♪

At some point, Susan told Bob,
as Bob has related,

that the authorities had reached
out to her and that she said,

"Well, I think it's best
that I talk to them."

What's key to that is
that the police

did not reach out to Susan.

They had yet to call her.

So that was a lie.

But Susan may have had
her own reasons for lying.

♪♪

Susan, by all accounts,
was very loyal to Bob,

but she may have been
trying to gin Bob up

so that he would definitely
send her the money.

♪♪

Susan needed the money to live,

and getting that money
any way that was necessary.

By November of 2000,

Bob had sent her
two checks,

each for $25,000.

♪♪

And she was telling friends
that she was very excited

'cause Bobby was coming to visit
during the Christmas holidays.

♪♪

Susan Berman's dogs,

they had gotten
out of the house

and were running
around the neighborhood.

Bagli:
Her neighbors knew that she would never allow that

and they called the police.

The back door was open.

The front was unlocked.

They find a body
on the floor,

shot in the back of the head.

I remember there was a slug,
not even a headline,

"Screenwriter dead."

♪♪

Susan Berman.

I froze.

Bagli:
There were no signs of forced entry.

The police assumed
that Susan knew

the person that she let
into the house.

Among Susan's 1,001 phobias

was letting a stranger
into her house.

♪♪

She would only allow in
people she knew, period.

Bagli:
She was walking towards the bedroom

when whoever she let
into the house

came right up behind her,
put the gun next to her head,

and blew her away.

The thought of Susan
in a pool of blood,

how she loved her dogs.

But just Susan.
Poor Susan.

Bagli:
In the very beginning,

the police were looking
at different suspects.

There was speculation that
this could've been a mob hit.

There had been all this talk
about Susan Berman,

how she was working
on some mob book,

and friends would say, "Oh,

she said she was gonna blow
the lid off of something."

Silverman:
And I just thought, "That's the most ridiculous thing

I've ever read."

The same day
that Susan was killed,

someone had addressed
an envelope

to "Beverley Hills Police,"

and they spelled "Beverly"
incorrectly.

Birkbeck:
It says there's a cadaver

and he writes the address

and the address was
Susan Berman's home.

♪♪

So whoever wrote it didn't want
her body to rot there.

Wanted someone to find it.

♪♪

But no one really knows
what's going on here.

A lot of people suspect
Bobby Durst,

and other people don't.

Jeanine Pirro,
the Westchester county DA,

was very suspicious about the
timing of Susan Berman's murder.

I think Susan Berman's death
was very significant,

in terms of this investigation.

She was someone that we
had wanted to speak with.

Bagli:
I went out to Los Angeles to find out what had happened.

I did interview some
of Susan's friends and family

and all of them told me
the same thing --

"Bobby had nothing
to do with this.

Bobby loved Susie.

Susie loved Bobby."

Two months after Robert Durst
finds out

that New York prosecutors
are looking

into the disappearance
of his wife Kathie,

Susan Berman turns up dead.

The fact that Susan was going

to be interrogated
by the district attorney

would pose a threat
to someone who felt

she had knowledge that he or she
did not wish to get out there,

because Susan just might spill.

She was a loose cannon.

♪♪

♪♪

So, Bobby's kind of
laying low in Galveston.

He maintained that he had
nothing to do

with the disappearance
and presumed death

of his wife Kathie;

or with the murder
of his best friend,

Susan Berman;
but he certainly knew

that people suspected him
of those things.

And didn't want anyone to know
that he was in Galveston.

It was 10 months
after Susan Berman's murder

that Robert Durst was charged
with the murder of Morris Black

and subsequently jumped bail.

The news is out
that he's now on the run.

We'd actually reached out
to "America's Most Wanted."

We wanted the Durst case
profiled on that show.

♪♪

Birkbeck:
He walks into a supermarket and it's on video.

He just shoplifts.

Hammer:
He was caught by Wegmans store personnel,

stealing a sandwich.

They also caught him on camera

taking Band-Aids
out of a box

and putting them
on himself.

♪♪

The total theft was $9.18.

Hammer:
Standard procedure -- he was Patted down.

He had almost $500 in cash
in his pocket.

Morganelli:
The police thought he was agitated.

When they asked him
why he stole this stuff,

he just said,
"Well, I'm just an asshole."

The officer didn't
immediately know who he had.

He actually gave his real name,
Robert Durst,

but he gave
a Social Security number

which was not
an accurate number

and then later clarified it

and gave a second
Social Security number.

♪♪

And then, the police officer
turns around and says,

"Have you ever been in Texas?"

And Bobby just stopped talking.

He knew he got caught.

A computer check revealed

that Durst was wanted for murder
in Galveston, Texas;

is a suspect in Los Angeles;

and Westchester County,
New York.

When a search warrant
was executed on his car,

we found $37,000 in cash,

a small amount
of marijuana,

and two more handguns.

He had rented a vehicle,
pretending to be Morris Black.

Putnal:
His head was shaved.

His eyebrows were shaved.

He was clearly an interesting-
looking character.

I was shocked to learn
that he'd been arrested.

The most wealthy man
probably to ever be

in the United States
criminal justice system

was arrested for stealing
a sandwich and Band-Aids.

♪♪

It really just belies
or reveals

the true psychology
of Robert Durst,

that he is above the law,

he doesn't have to pay
for anything,

whether it's a murder charge

or whether it's
a chicken sandwich.

♪♪

Reporter:
Robert Durst says Morris Black

was accidentally killed
in self-defense.

If Morris Black was here
right now, he'd be saying,

"I'm thinking two words,

and one of them's 'bull'!"

They're saying that Durst
shot Morris Black

dead-center in the back of his head,

but you can't say that

'cause you don't have the head!

Reporter:
A new, stunning revelation.

I stood up and gasped.

I do want to say
I am not guilty.

There is no forensic evidence,
whatsoever, linking Bob

to Mrs. Durst's disappearance

or Ms. Berman's murder.

Anything he does
is pretty much calculated.

That's how cold this man is.

♪♪

Robert Durst was sent
back to Galveston

to stand trial for the
murder of Morris Black.

He agreed to testify
before the jury.

The details of what happened
to Mr. Black

were violent and disturbing.
