died in 2022 — but the bizarre story of the multimillionaire New York real estate heir turned murderer is still unravelling.On Wednesday, HBO dropped the first trailer for “The Jinx: Part Two,” the juicy continuation of the 2015 documentary series “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” that explosively ended with his apparent confession.That program, by filmmaker Andrew Jarecki, combined a history of Durst’s decades of alleged misdeeds and a rare interview with the eccentric man.In the final episode, a hot mike caught Durst muttering “killed them all, of course” while in the bathroom — a seeming admission to the murders of first wife Kathleen Durst, California friend Susan Berman and Galveston, Texas, neighbor Morris Black that took place between 1982 and 2001.A Texas court ruled in 2001 that Black’s death occurred in self-defense — despite Durst beheading him while disguised as a woman named Dorothy Steiner — and he was acquitted. The shocking verdict led to The Post’s front page headline: “Run For Your Lives.”But in 2021, Durst was finally convicted of first-degree murder for shooting Berman at her Beverly Hills, California, home 21 years prior.
The six-episode second part covers what happened to the killer from the 2015 finale to his death seven years later, including his arrest, prison stay and conviction. Second wife Debrah Lee Charatan, a much-discussed figure from Part 1, returns.One audio clip in the trailer has Durst calling a confidant from the clink.
“You should expect a call from the DA wanting to talk to you. But you don’t tell them s–t,” he says.And: “Everybody’s gonna work together to get me out of here.” “The Jinx: Part Two” begins on HBO April 21.

Robert Durst has been a part of director Andrew Jarecki’s life for years.In 2005, the director began working on the 2010 film “All Good Things,” starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst, and was inspired by the life of Durst and the disappearance of his first wife, Kathleen McCormack.He then followed that up with the 2015 six-part HBO docuseries “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst,” which explored Durst’s connection to several murders and dramatically concluded with his hot mike admission, “Killed them all, of course.”The series garnered a host of awards and the storyline appeared to be over. However, in 2020, Durst stood trial for the 2000 murder of his good friend, Susan Berman, 55.Critics who had refused to talk to Jarecki for the first “Jinx” series were now testifying in the Berman trial — and he realized that there was another series in the making.“The Jinx: Part Two” debuted on Sunday.Durst was the eldest son of New York City real estate magnate Seymour Durst and first gained headlines for the unsolved 1982 disappearance of McCormack.Berman, one of Durst’s oldest friends who provided an alibi for him when McCormack went missing, was shot outside her home in 2000.Later that year, after being tipped off by his sister that the McCormack investigation had been reopened, Durst went into hiding and moved to Galveston, Texas, where he disguised himself as a mute woman.The following year, Durst was arrested after body parts belonging to his elderly neighbor, Morris Black, 71, were found floating in Galveston Bay.Durst skipped bail but was extradited.
