In 2001, Robert Durst, heir to a real estate fortune, was arrested after attempting to steal a chicken sandwich, concluding a weeks-long manhunt. His prior friendship with neighbor Morris Black took a dark turn when Black tried to blackmail him, leading to a murder charge after dismembered body parts were found. Durst's complex personality and criminal history gained international attention, particularly through HBO's documentary "The Jinx," ultimately culminating in his life imprisonment. The narrative outlines Durst's motivations, his public image, and the discoveries made at the time of his arrest, including cash and firearms in his vehicle.
"I decided rather than to pay, I was just gonna take it," he said.
The case went to trial in 2003 after garbage bags containing Black's body parts washed up in Galveston Bay.
Durst, who was 58, usually paid for the drinks during many evenings spent at the dive bar with Morris Black.
Following Durst's arrest, police discovered envelopes full of cash, two handguns, and a pen linked to a known confidante.
