Westchester DA speaks out about reopening Kathie Durst cold case

The Westchester County District Attorney spoke on Tuesday about her office’s decision to reopen the investigation into the disappearance of Robert Durst’s first wife — saying she hopes the probe will bring “closure.”

DA Mimi Rocah told News 12 Westchester that she’s assigned top investigators from the newly formed cold case unit to investigate the alleged slaying of Kathie Durst in 1982. The investigators will hopefully bring fresh perspective to the case, which was first probed when authorities did not have the same grasp of domestic violence as they do today, Rocah said.
