But I can't imagine one of my friends saying that casually. No. And me not going to their house and taking care of that. But by 1981, the term slapped was hit with, was replaced with hit. Implying much greater force and aggression was happening. In the last two years of their marriage, the cruelty Robert directed at Kathy definitely got worse. He openly carried on affairs with other women.

What a pig. Including an affair with Mia Farrow's sister Prudence. Oh, shit. And threw them in Kathy's face whenever he wanted to hurt her. That's... Yeah. At the same time, his drinking and drug use had increased, which only exacerbated his volatility. Yup.

At one point, when Robert thought Kathy was having an affair with a mutual friend, he violently assaulted the man, breaking a bone in his face and sending him to the emergency room. Jesus Christ. But remember, he is carrying on affairs. Yeah, and that's totally okay. She can't do anything about that, right? No.

In early January, Kathy called a friend after a particularly bad fight she had with Robert in which he had hit her multiple times. Her friend, Eleanor Schwenk, insisted Kathy go to the hospital in order to get the assault documented. If nothing else, you know, just to get it on the record. Yeah, it's on paper. And Kathy finally took her friend's advice.

Just a few weeks before her disappearance, the documentation of the assault would have surely been included in the divorce proceedings.

Yep. And would have likely swayed things in Kathy's favor. Yep. But that wasn't all Kathy had on her side either. Just a few days before she disappeared, Kathy told friends she had discovered some potentially embarrassing financial information related to Robert. and the Durst Organization, and she had planned to send it to someone high up in the company. Oh.

Oh.

Don't ever tell people about that stuff. You got shit, you just send it. By no means is this, like, her fault. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying, like, that's so scary. Yeah. Blackmail is scary. That kind of information is scary.

She was not specific about the details of the information, but she heavily implied that whatever it was, it was going to be very damaging to Robert and the Durst family. Ooh. So as Kathy talked to Najimy that afternoon, their conversation was repeatedly interrupted by phone calls from Robert.

He screamed at his wife, he demanded she return to South Salem, and the last time he called was a little past 7 p.m., and the couple argued for a few minutes before Kathy hung up. She told Najimy, Bobby wants me home. He's really upset. Don't go home. So she grabbed a few things she had with her and walked to the door.

But before she left, she turned to Najimy and said, if something happens to me, check it out. I'm afraid of what Bobby will do. My God. She literally said that.
