Prosecutor: Durst had 'playbook' on getting away with murder

A prosecutor says New York real estate heir Robert Durst developed a playbook for getting away with murder after killing his wife four decades ago
LOS ANGELES -- Kathie Durst vanished without a trace nearly 40 years ago in New York. She's been declared dead, but her body's never been found and no one has been charged with a crime related to her disappearance. A prosecutor argued in a Los Angeles murder trial Wednesday that her husband, Robert Durst, the estranged heir to a New York real estate fortune, killed her and her death became the basis for his “playbook” on getting away with two other killings. "He tried to figure out, ‘How do I get away with murder?’" Deputy District Attorney Habib Balian said. “What’s my go-to move?” Durst, 78, is charged with murder in the point-blank shooting of his best friend, Susan Berman, at her Los Angeles home in December 2000. Prosecutors said Durst killed her as she planned to speak to authorities about how she provided a phony alibi when his wife went missing in New York in 1982.More Related News
