In both apartments, there was blood on the walls and floors, as well as a blood trail leading across the hall from one apartment to the other. Well, that'll tell you. Yep. In Sinner's apartment, detectives found a four-inch paring knife and a pair of bloody boots. Oof. They also discovered blood outside the apartment building in the parking lot.
And one of the other tenants, Maria De Hernandez, told detectives that on the night of Morris Black's murder, she had seen a man loading black garbage bags into a silver Honda in the parking lot, and she didn't recognize that man. That's terrifying. So as crime scene technicians processed Sinner's apartment, what they found painted a very strange picture of who lived there. That's weird. Yeah.

But when they pulled up the tile on the floor, they found a large amount of blood had seeped through and soaked the boards underneath. Analysis of the blood would prove that it was Morris Black's blood. Now, based on the statement from the neighbor, investigators ran a check for any vehicles registered to Sinner's address that matched the description of the silver Honda.

And they learned that Robert Durst had registered just such a vehicle there. When they showed Klaus Dillman a photo of Durst, he acknowledged that he looked like the man he'd assumed to be Sinner's brother-in-law. Imagine that. But more importantly, he also bore a pretty striking resemblance to Dorothy Sinner herself. Strange.

But more importantly, he also bore a pretty striking resemblance to Dorothy Sinner herself. Strange.
In fact, the more Dillman looked at the photo of Durst, the more he was like, Oh, that is actually him. Like that is Robert Durst. Dorothy Sinner is Robert Durst. Wild. Can you imagine? Robert Durst had lived there how many years? Did you say four? I think, yeah, at least like he had moved in right after or Dorothy Sinner had moved in right after Morris Black. That's wild. Yeah.

Which is kind of crazy. The handful of interactions Dillman had had with Dorothy Sinner had all been quite brief and really, like I said before, only through notes. Yeah. So it had never occurred to him that Sinner could have been anyone other than who she was saying she was. Yeah, why would you think anything else? Why would you question that?

Given what they'd found in the apartments and the information collected from witnesses, it was clear to investigators that there was no Denton Dorothy Center, and the main suspect in the murder of Morris Black was Robert Durst. Okay. Now, a few days later, on October 9th, a patrol officer spotted the silver Honda and pulled the driver over.

When the officer asked for ID, the driver handed him a Holiday Inn Express hotel card with the name Jim Truss.

Yeah, obviously this was not what the officer was asking for, so he was like, hey, step out of the car, and he placed this man in custody. When the officer searched through the vehicle, he found a bag of marijuana, a 9mm handgun, and a bow saw similar to the one purchased with the other items days earlier. Not day-to-day travel items. Not day-to-day travel items.

At first, investigators suspected this was the saw used in the dismemberment. But when the autopsy was complete, the medical examiner actually confirmed that whoever did the dismemberment had used a paring knife to cut away the muscle, then used a hacksaw to remove the limbs. Oh, my. Now, this man that was arrested on the side of the road was Robert Durst. That's crazy. Yeah, right? That's wild.

You didn't see that coming, did you? No, no. Not at all. The arrest of Robert Durst for the murder of Morris Black came as a surprise to just about everyone, particularly because Durst hardly looked like the kind of man who was going to shoot another man in the face. He really didn't. Then dismember his body. No.
