Robert Durst

Ten months after Susan's body is found, there's another incident, this time in Texas.

There was a mountain of evidence tying Bob to the murder scene.

This seemed like an open and shut case.

Robert Durst is acquitted of murder in a verdict that not only shocked Robert Durst, but shocked the entire world.

Bob thought that he was the smartest one in the room, and he probably thought, why not give my side?

Let me appear on this program.

I can con them just like I conned everyone else in my life.

It was a huge blunder for Bob to appear in the jinx.

That's what spurred L.A.

to reopen the investigation.

This cadaver letter, this big reveal on the Jinx, turned out to be the smoking gun that prosecutors were looking for.

We were shocked that it takes Bob seeing it on TV to go, uh-oh, I'm in trouble.

But that's what happened.

Knowing full well that Bob Durst has money and means to get out of Dodge, the FBI and the LAPD want to keep their eyes on him as much as possible.

The only real way to do that is through his cell phone.

And they notice that Bob has gotten into his car, and he's driving east, and suddenly...

It goes blank.

Bob's turned off his phone, and they have no idea where he is.

And I thought, holy, he's going to run.

So two FBI agents went to the JW Marriott and they went up to the desk, the front desk, and they asked the clerk, so do you have a Bob Durst registered here?
