He killed them all : Robert Durst and my quest for justice / by Pirro, Jeanine,author.(CARDINAL)543908;
The name "Durst" meant nothing to Jeanine Pirro fifteen years ago, when the former district attorney reopened the cold case of a beautiful fourth-year medical student who disappeared without a trace in 1982. Instead, Pirro felt a kinship with Kathleen Durst--whose lite had many parallels to her own--and a deep sense of how strange it was tor the seemingly happy 29-year-old woman to vanish from the face of the earth just months before graduation while her eccentric husband, a millionaire real-estate heir, waited five days to report her missing. Yet Pirro was cast as the bad guy, even as Robert Durst emerged as a suspect in the death of one of his closest friends and was tried and acquitted of the murder of his neighbor. For years, she has tirelessly crusaded for justice for Kathleen and the other victims, and her impassioned perspective in the HBO documentary series The Jinx made Pirro, now the host of Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News, one of its breakout stars. In this book, Pirro makes her case against Durst beyond a reasonable doubt, combining the facts from her own research and her exclusive interviews with many of the people featured in The Jinx to reveal stunning, previously unknown information about the crimes he is accused of committing. Durst got away with murder because he was from one of the wealthiest families in New York City. He got away with it because he was shrewd and cunning. But Jeanine Pirro won't let it go so easily. This is a comprehensive and definitive insider's account of the enigmatic man and his gruesome deeds.

A deadly secret : the bizarre and chilling story of Robert Durst / by Birkbeck, Matt,author.(CARDINAL)671903;
When medical student Kathie Durst vanished in 1982, she was married to Robert Durst, son of a New York real estate magnate. Kathie’s friends had reason to implicate her husband. They told police that Kathie lived in terror of Robert, and that she had uncovered incriminating financial evidence about him. But Durst’s secrets went even deeper. For decades, Kathie’s disappearance remained a mystery. Then in 2001, Durst, an heir to an empire valued at two billion dollars, was arrested for shoplifting in Pennsylvania. When the police brought him in, they discovered that he was a suspect in the murder of Texas drifter Morris Black, whose dismembered remains were found floating in Galveston Bay, and that Durst was also wanted for questioning in the killing of his friend, Susan Burman, in Los Angeles. Based on interviews with family, friends, and acquaintances of Durst, law enforcement, and others involved in the case, A Deadly Secret is a cross-country odyssey of stolen IDs and multiple identities that raises baffling questions about one of the country’s most prominent families—and one of its most elusive suspected killers.

Murder of a mafia daughter : the life and tragic death of Susan Berman / by Scott, Cathy,author.(CARDINAL)705421;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 283-284)."Susan Berman grew up in Las Vegas luxury as the daughter of Davie Berman, casino mogul and notorious mafia leader. After her father died she learned about his mob connections. Susan then dedicated her life to learning about Vegas and its underworld chiefs. Her life took a bizarre turn in l982 when Kathie Durst--the wife of her good friend, Robert Durst, mysteriously disappeared. Durst was a prime suspect but the case was never solved. After the Kathie Durst case was reopened, the DA was about to question Susan Berman about what she knew regarding a phone call Kathie supposedly made to her medical school dean saying she was sick and wouldn't be at school. The call was placed the day after she had vanished. Soon after the Kathie Durst case was reopened, Susan Berman was found dead, shot in the back of head. No forced entry, no robbery, nothing missing from her home. The book covers what led to Durst's capture. Police records placed him in California at the time of his good friend Susan Berman's murder. HBO filmmakers discovered a letter unknown before, written by Durst to Susan, a dead-on match to the cadaver letter police say the killer sent before Susan's body was discovered"--Amazon.com, viewed July 6, 2015.

These crimes are often committed by men with no criminal record or history of violence whatsoever, men leading functional and often successful lives until the moment they kill the women, and sometimes children, they claimed to love. A surprising number go on to kill a second or even third wife or girlfriend, often in exactly the same way. In more than fifty chilling case studies, Marilee Strong examines the strange and complex psychology that drives these killers-from the murder a century ago that inspired the novel An American Tragedy to Scott Peterson, Mark Hacking, Jeffrey MacDonald, Ira Einhorn, Charles Stuart, Robert Durst, Michael White, Barton Corbin, and many others. Erased also looks at how these men manipulate the legal system and exploit loopholes in missing persons procedures and death investigation, exposing how easy it can be to get away with murder.
