admitting to multiple murders said he felt “sad” over the chilling TV moment.“The Jinx” director Andrew Jarecki reflected on the alleged 2015 confession ahead of the release of “The Jinx: Part Two,” which follows on from Durst’s ensuing arrest, conviction and 2022 death behind bars at age 78.“The journalist part of me was thinking, ‘This is one of the greatest moments of my life,’” Jarecki told the Financial Times. “But another part of me felt sad that this incredible charade this man had persisted with for years was all coming down to this terrible moment of truth.”Durst’s apparent confession came after filmmakers for the HBO series showed him a letter — written in his own hand — that seemed to implicate him in the murder of his friend, Susan Berman, the outlet said.
Prosecutors said Durst killed his long-time confidant in 2000 to keep her quiet about a false alibi she provided after Durst’s first wife Kathie McCormack disappeared in 1982. He was charged in McCormack’s death shortly before he died but never stood trial, and he was acquitted after claiming self defense for the 2001 killing and chopping up of his neighbor Morris Black in Galveston, Texas.Durst got up and went to the bathroom after he saw the document tying him to Berman’s execution-syle murder — and there, a hot mic recorded him saying: “There it is, you’re caught … What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.”Jarecki said that when they showed Durst the letter, he was “closer than he’d ever been to blurting it out.” “And then what happens? We finish the interview, shake hands, and he goes to the bathroom and immediately says: ‘There it is, you’re caught,’” Jarecki said, according to the FT.“Durst just had this compulsion to confess.
