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.

Seymour told investigators that his wife had been in treatment for asthma and had taken a sedative that morning, and later that day she had seemed confused and unlike herself. The family consulted a physician who recommended Bernice stay in bed to rest, but later that afternoon, she climbed out the window onto the roof in her bathrobe. Oh, man.

Despite the official report of an accidental death, there are many reporters and New York socialites who believe Bernice had been profoundly depressed and had possibly intentionally ended her life.

Now, this is people speculating. Yeah, of course. Obviously, we do not know that. Now, following Bernice's very unexpected death, the Durst children understandably struggled to adjust to life without their mother. I can't imagine. Particularly seven-year-old Robert. Oh, so little. He claimed to have witnessed the fall.

Seymour responded to the loss of his wife by just retreating into himself and becoming very consumed with his work. Which you can't when you got four little ones to take care of. When he was at home, he would often just disappear into his study and bury himself in books in order to just avoid all of it. Avoid all the feelings, everything.

The new reality in the Durst home meant that the children were, for the most part, now being raised by nannies and other domestic workers. Yeah. Which is like a big change for them. Yeah. Your mom's there one day and then gone the next. That's awful. And now you're being raised by like people who aren't your parents.

Yeah. Now, as he grew older, Robert Durst developed a quiet and mostly shy personality. He performed pretty, you know, adequate in school. He had a few friends. His life was pretty unremarkable, like nothing crazy. Which, honestly, that's pretty remarkable in and of itself for someone who came from such wealth and privilege. The fact that it was just kind of a chill life.

Like a pretty casual existence. That said, he seemed to develop some quirks that people who knew him found a little unusual. He is. That's one way to describe this man is quirky. Very quirky. According to his childhood friend, Julie Baumgold, she said, quote, he spoke with a drawl. Long pauses punctuated his speech as if he were struggling to spit out the words.

Now, and he does have a different way of speaking. Yeah. For sure. Despite being strongly introverted, Robert tried to fit in and was a member of many clubs, including the camera club, the Spanish club, and being a member of the junior varsity soccer team. Trying to just like be one. Yeah. With everybody. Yeah.

After graduating from high school, Robert went on to study business and economics at Lehigh University and intended to go into real estate, like the business, with his father. Things changed, though, once Robert joined the anti-war movement that was growing on college campuses across the country.

While many young people became activists during this period, Robert's decision to participate didn't really sit well with his dad. His dad insisted his son take his life and responsibilities more seriously. But by then, Robert had become fully involved in the counterculture movement and wasn't interested in whatever his father was trying to tell him what to say. Yeah.
