So based on the information provided to them by the producers of The Jinx, investigators were able to get an arrest warrant for Durst's arrest, and he was picked up a few days later at a hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he'd registered under the name Everett Ward. Huh.

Turned out that was only the latest in a series of very strange incidents involving Robert Durst. That checks. A few years earlier, he was tried and acquitted of violating restraining orders taken out by his family members.

Just a few months after the acquittal, he was arrested at a drugstore in Houston after he was witnessed urinating on a candy rack.

Real dick move. A charge to which he pleaded no contest in an incident his lawyer successfully argued was a medical incident.

I'm just confused how you whip your dick out during a medical emergency.

At the time of his arrest in New Orleans on the murder charge, federal agents found a large amount of circumstantial evidence suggesting he was planning to flee the country. Among other things, items found in his possession included a loaded .38 caliber pistol, Robert's passport and birth certificate, a fake driver's license, maps of the southern U.S.

and Cuba, a large amount of cash, and flesh-colored latex masks. At the time of the arrest, the cash had been divided up into smaller quantities and placed in envelopes, which investigators believe were going to be sent to whichever location Durst planned to flee to, a belief that Robert didn't deny.

Yeah. Given the confused state he was in at the time, Robert was transferred to a secure facility where he would be treated for mental health issues before being processed by the courts. Though following that announcement, Durst's lawyer refuted the claims that his client had mental health issues, stating, quote, he is not suicidal.

And it's like, yeah, I don't think that's what we're really worried about here.

Robert Durst had always been a peculiar, quirky man. But at the time of his arrest in 2015, questions about his mental health had become common whenever his name came up. Just a few months earlier, Douglas Durst, his brother, gave an interview to the New York Post in which he detailed some of his brother's bizarre behavior over the years.

He said, before the disappearance of my sister-in-law, Bob had a series of Alaskan Malamutes, which is like a husky. He had seven of them and they all died mysteriously of different things within six months of his owning them. All of them named Igor. We don't know how they died or what happened to their bodies. What the fuck? That's so fucked up and scary.
