“The Gangster’s Daughter”

How DO you accidentally shave your eyebrows?

Episode three brings into focus the next suspected murder committed by Robert Durst, a woman named Susan Berman. Berman was a daughter of a gangster and had become one of the staunchest supporters of Robert Durst during the period he was being looked at as a suspect in the disappearance of Kathie, his wife.

The speculation was that Susan Berman had some knowledge of the disappearance of Kathie and that was a direct reason why she was executed.

I swear, every time Robert Durst appears on screen in his interview with director Andrew Jarecki, Robert Durst is the most shockingly sociopathic man I have ever heard. The constant blinks and winks (which I think may be beyond his control) and the manner in which he speaks is just chilling. He asks questions during the interview that honestly feel as if he is trying to lead the viewers or Jarecki to the real truth, that he is guilty. Does Durst, perhaps subconsciously, want to get caught?

While on the run from the charge of murder of Morris Black, Durst went into a grocery store and was caught shoplifting a tuna salad sandwich. Why would someone who could afford just about anything try to shoplift a sandwich, especially when he knew that he was on the lamb?

He admits to being on the lamb and admits to planning to jump bail after posting it in Galveston. He said that he shaved his hair and his eyebrows in an attempt to look different.

This is an amazing true crime story that is only amplified by Robert Durst’s own words.
