Almost 20 years after the slaying of his best friend, the high-profile real estate heir Robert Durst will finally stand trial in her killing.
In the aftermath of the deaths, Durst disguised himself as a mute woman and moved to a small rental apartment in Galveston, Texas, to hide out from law enforcement.
Durst was acquitted in Black's death in 2005, even though he admitted to chopping up his body, carefully triple-wrapping the body parts in plastic and throwing them into Galveston Bay as he argued self-defense. He admitted to cutting up Black's body but not to killing him, instead alleging that the man shot himself by mistake in a tussle with Durst.
While the murder case rests entirely on circumstantial evidence, prosecutors have placed most of their bets on two handwritten notes tying him to the killing, which he addressed on the HBO docu-series. After the interview, Durst went to the bathroom not realizing that he was still wearing a microphone and began muttering several sentences to himself, including what appeared to be a confession.Marc Smerling / courtesy of HBOIt recorded him whispering to himself:"You're caught! What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course."
