Robert Durst apparently confessed to killing his first wife in 1982 and a long-time friend and confidante 18 years later, according to testimony given by a New York advertising executive ahead of Durst’s murder trial in Los Angeles.
Durst, a New York real-estate heir, is charged with the execution-style murder of the confidante, Susan Berman, allegedly because she knew too much about the disappearance of his wife, Kathie Durst.
