Robert Durst/missing wife from 1982

[hopesun]

For those who have been following the Suzanne Davis/Sharon Marshall thread and read Matt Birkbeck's A BEAUTIFUL CHILD, his other book is on Robert Durst. You may recall he was aquitted last year after dismembering a man in Texas. His wife Kathie has been missing since 1982. The book is called A DEADLY SECRET: THE STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE OF KATHIE DURST and like A Beautiful Child is a great read. Perhaps we can start some conversation on Durst, who you'll believe is a serial killer after reading the book.
He was supposed to be paroled last week but was arrested again and is being sent to Pennsylvania. The book answers many troubling questions about Durst and raises many about the police investigating him. Any thoughts on Durst, his wife Kathie, the murder of his best friend Susan Berman and the trial last year?

We watched (hubby & I) a show on Mr. Durst the other night. Being a Texan, living quite close to Galveston, I was quite interested in his earlier trial. After seeing this movie (Think it was on CTV, Cant be sure though) there is no doubt in my mind that he murdered his wife. They interviewed her friends and neighbors, and they all say she had told them that if anything happened to her, 'Dont let Bobby get away with it'. HELLOOO - And the friend who was supposed to testify against him reguarding his wifes dissappearence, gets two 25K checks from him to 'help her with expenses' and then ends up murdered a few days before the trial begins...This man scares me, and I am sooo glad he is being shipped out of MY state!

How did this guy get away with the dismemberment of the body case?

i think something to do with self defense. he dismembered the body and hid it because he was "scared".

i can't believe he got off...:banghead:

What a beautiful smart woman his wife was... what a tragedy that she ever got involved with this major jerk.

bringing this case out from the Ice Age with news that a movie is coming out about Robert and his ties to the various murders and disappearences surrounding him.
Ryan Gosling is playing Robert and Kirsten Dunst is Kathleen.
