Durst Part 1: Lynne, Kathie, and Karen

Description

This is part one of a two part series. Robert Durst became one of the most recognizable names in the true crime community when the docu-series The Jinx was released in 2015. The day before the final episode was released, Durst was arrested for murder. But this was far from the only crime he has been named a suspect in.
