A billionaire with a paper trail. A best friend executed in her home. A bathroom mic that captured the line no one can forget. We pull apart the Robert Durst saga through The Jinx—how a fictionalized film led to a documentary, how a “cadaver” letter unlocked a pattern, and how ego, money, and access kept the walls from closing in for decades. Our take blends the receipts (handwriting, timelines, trial beats) with the human angles: the families waiting for closure, the investigators who refused to let details die, and the unsettling calm Durst showed when talking about violence.

We walk through the big turning points. Durst contacts Andrew Jarecki after All Good Things, then sits for interviews that surface contradictions he can’t manage, culminating in the off-camera audio where he mutters, “Killed them all, of course.” We revisit the Beverly Hills “cadaver” note to Susan Berman’s address and the matching letter Durst wrote—same block print, same odd misspelling of Beverly. We examine how those artifacts intersect with the Galveston killing of Morris Black and the still-missing Kathleen McCormack, whose family continues to seek accountability through civil action. Along the way, we wrestle with the debate: was this brazen confidence, a fractured psyche, or both?

The hardest part lands at the end. After the jury convicts Durst for Berman’s murder, his declining health outruns the appeals process, and the conviction doesn’t survive. It’s a harsh lesson about how procedure can blunt justice, even when evidence feels conclusive. If you’re drawn to true crime for its puzzles, paper trails, and the moral questions that hover after the verdict, this conversation digs in without flinching.

AS ALWAYS D-A-S

One phone call to a filmmaker set off a chain that even a billionaire couldn’t stop. We close our three‑part ride through the crimes orbiting Robert Durst by following the breadcrumb trail from the Ryan Gosling film All Good Things to HBO’s The Jinx—and the small details that became seismic. A misspelled “Beverley,” an ominous “cadaver” note, and a bathroom monologue caught on a hot mic turned speculation into action and action into a conviction.

We walk through how Durst initiated contact with director Andrew Jarecki, why that access mattered, and how editors later uncovered the quiet confession heard around the world. We break down the letter match that put Durst on the doorstep of Susan Berman’s murder, the tense second interview where he couldn’t distinguish his own handwriting, and the arrest in New Orleans with cash, masks, and maps that hinted at a last flight. From delayed trials to declining health and a life sentence, we trace the final leg of a decades‑long saga while acknowledging what remains unresolved for Kathy McCormack’s family and their wrongful‑death suit.

Through it all, we keep a human heartbeat in the room. Landon joins us after a tough week, we ground ourselves with Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones rewatch comfort, and we reset with a punk spotlight on The Dot Commies. The contrast is intentional: true crime is heavy, but storytelling, music, and family can hold that weight without breaking. Press play for a clear, unflinching look at the evidence, the documentary craft that surfaced it, and the uneasy truth that sometimes justice needs a camera to find its focus.

AS ALWAYS D-A-S

A missing wife, a loyal friend who knew too much, and a neighbor found in pieces—this wild middle chapter of the Durst saga is anything but filler. We pick up with Kathy Durst’s push for independence and follow the money: credit cards cut, tuition pulled, and a power play that hardens into motive. From there, we track Susan Berman’s role as Durst’s media shield, the suspicious timing of “gift” checks, and a chilling letter to Beverly Hills PD labeled “cadaver” with a telltale misspelling. It’s the kind of tiny clue that lingers when the headlines fade.

Then we head to Galveston, where Durst hides in plain sight as a deaf, mute woman named Dorothy Siner. Across the hall is Morris Black, a gruff neighbor who ends up dismembered and scattered in bags. How does a man who admits to cutting up a body walk on the murder charge? We break down the self-defense narrative, the missing head, and the courtroom optics that made “reasonable doubt” feel inevitable. Privilege, polish, and time do more than blur the truth—they can bend it.

Between case beats, we talk culture: why the internet clings to conspiracy, how memes like “Where are the bodies, Garth?” get traction, and what happens when fandom collides with reality. You’ll hear us grapple with messy nostalgia, the pain of fallen idols, and the uncomfortable space where art, myth, and accountability meet. If you crave true crime that balances receipts with real talk, this one’s for you.
