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.

But as investigators started looking into his background, they discovered he was unlike anyone they had investigated before. They were like, wow, we definitely did not know that this is what was lurking underneath. So let's talk about Robert Durst. Who the hell is this man? What is going on? He's lived a thousand lives. None of them good. None of them good.

Robert Alan Durst was born in Manhattan on April 12th, 1943. He was the oldest child of four children. His parents were Seymour Durst and Bernice Herstein.

That is a great name. Like his father before him, Seymour Durst was a wildly successful New York real estate developer and partner at the Durst Organization, which was a development firm recently valued at $8.1 billion. Casual. Very casual.

Whether you're showing love to your parents or yourself, nothing compares to the gift that can change your life for the better. When I got into Masterclass and took Joyce Carol Oates' Art of Storytelling class, I learned that sometimes you have to kind of dive into the dark parts of yourself to write some good spooky stuff. Our parents helped us expand our horizons. Want to return the favor?

Give them the gift of Masterclass. I use this and you should too. I was trying to figure out how to write for a younger audience. I'm kind of looking into writing a spooky children's book. So I took R.L. Stine's Writing for a Young Audience class and it really helped me to like bring it down to a level where it can be spooky, but fun and palatable to a young audience.

Very Emily Gilmore. Yes. Bernice and Seymour married in 1940, and in the 10 years after that, she gave birth to the couple's four children, Robert, Douglas, Wendy, and Thomas. Now, tragically, on November 9th, 1950, Bernice fell to her death from the roof of the family home in what was later deemed an accident by the coroner. Hmm.

According to the press, Bernice had gone out on the roof for unknown reasons, and someone called police and fire department to rescue her. But as the firefighter was climbing the ladder to reach her, Bernice insisted she could get back inside on her own, but slipped on wet leaves and fell to the driveway below, which is horrifying. Yeah, that's really sad.
