Does anyone else agree that the family helped him cover up his wife's disappearance? It seems like a lock, given how uncooperative they were with the investigation. I bet they were paying people off and asking for "favors" left and right to protect their sacred biz.

Oh, hell yes!! Before the finale, I actually thought Douglas probably had a big hand in Kathy and Susan. Now, I think he just had a lot to do with the covering up.

I've never spent so much time reading an OOTV thread about a show I've never seen.

Just binged the whole series and man it was awesome. Can only imagine what was going on in Susan's son's head when he found that letter. Ending on him talking to himself in the bathroom was the mother of all mic drops for a tv show to end on.

Agree with people about the california is a big state line.

i would not have been surprised if he went to bob with the envelope to get paid. he could have finally got his "college" money.

why did this take so long to air? these interviews with bob were done years ago.

also read where bob was a suspect in two other disappearances in california in the 90's. just wow at this guy

I'm a little confused about the controversy over the timeline, since it seems like the issue is just whether the 2nd interview was before or after Durst being arrested for coming up to his brother's townhouse.

That seems extremely trivial and I don't get why they'd be misleading about it (the drama that it added to the show was pretty minimal), but it does seem like they might have been and now won't talk about it.

Is the concern that they may have kept evidence to themselves for too long? Otherwise I don't really see why it matters much either way.

Edit - I guess any concern about their veracity could then raise questions about other parts of the series.

Wow watched 5/6 episodes and the guy is clearly a psychopath of the highest order.

There is some discussion over whether the bathroom audio will be admissible. In all honesty it shouldn't matter and he could just say he was babbling anyway.

The letter is really the key piece of evidence... and I defy a jury member to look at those 2 envelopes, and not come to the conclusion that the same person wrote them. I suppose Durst's high-priced lawyers will have their own handwriting expert to testify they are different, but all you really need in this case is your own 2 eyes.

Anyone have any idea what's up with Durst's eyes? Guy looks like he's on a perpetual acid trip.

Going to be insane if he gets found innocent again

Also what was up with the guy from the Galveston Jury talking about how he thinks Durst is just really unlucky and always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

That did feel a little like they needed someone from the jury to have that POV, so they went with him because maybe he was better on camera then the others.

I don't think he wanted to get caught. I mean both cases were essentially cold. He could continue to rub it in peoples faces that he got away with it.
Look how different the series would have been if they didn't find the letter.

All,

just binge watched this show in 2 sittings. my god that was completely thrilling, bone chilling and fascinating. had like a irl true detective meets hannibal type of feel to it for me.

hbo delivers again!

he had a latex mask on him that he was gonna use to disguise himself. love this guy

Didn't you learn anything from watching the show? People who try to extort Bob end up getting whacked. The guy would probably rather live his life than risk dying so he could go to college as a 40 year-old bald guy with a ridiculous chinstrap/handlebar-moustache thing going on.

I got around to watching this after hearing about Durst's confession on a radio show. Absolutely incredible. I can only imagine how much better it would have been had I not known about the bathroom scene in advance.

That said, I feel like the letter to Susan is a much, much bigger deal to a courtroom than inane ramblings to himelf at a urinal. The only defense angle that I can really see is to say that the letter itself could have been forged and planted, seeing as how it's never been accounted for in the past until Sareb mysteriously found it over a decade later. Maybe Sareb believed Durst to be guilty and wanted closure so he hired a professional to make the letter look authentic? I guess the other line of defense would be to say that Bob DID write the letter, but only because he walked in on her corpse and felt like he couldn't call and report it to the police because of his reputation. That would be a hard case to make, especially after telling Jarecki that he believes only the killer could have written the letter in past interviews, but who would have imagined they'd be able to sell the jury on self defense after he chops the body up of another human being.

sounds like a serial killer to me

the other villain in this series was the lolcorrupt NYC cop who completely failed to investigate the disappearance

on another note, andrew jarecki directed one of my favorite documentaries of all-time, capturing the friedmans (warning that it is about a disturbing subject)

48 hours on cbs will be about durst tonight at 10pm. it's following ncaa basketball so you might want to set your dvr to run long. obv not the jinx, but anyhting about this dude i'll watch.

Duke,

This dude is all over the place. I saw an ad for 20/20 yesterday, more Durst!

hell, i'm even gonna dvr justice with judge jeanine on fox news channel tonight at 9. i just can't get enough.

How does Durst let this documentary airing?

I find hard to imagine his lawyers didn't protect him in a way that he can pull the plug at any time..
