Wealthy New Yorker
Robert Durst mysteriously disappeared decades ago. It's an unsolved case that
hasn't stopped haunting him. Years after she went missing, prosecutors argued Durst
was hiding out from investigators digging into that case when he
killed a neighbor, dismembered the body and skipped town. Now the 71-year-old
millionaire real estate heir from one of New York's wealthiest families is
behind bars, accused of murder again in another case that some say is tied to
his wife's disappearance. Durst was arrested in New Orleans on Saturday night. Investigators
say they believe he was behind the 2000 murder of Susan Berman, a crime writer
and Durst's longtime friend, who was shot dead in her Beverly Hills home. The
arrest comes amid heightened interest in the eccentric heir, who's now the
focus of the HBO documentary series "The Jinx," which explores
whether he had any connection to his wife's disappearance and investigators'
suspicions that Berman was killed because she knew exactly what happened to his
wife. Investigators found him Saturday at the JW Marriott hotel in New Orleans,
where he was staying under a false name and was carrying a fake driver's
license, according to a law enforcement official who's been briefed on the
case. He'd paid in cash, and authorities believe he was preparing to leave the
country and flee to Cuba, the official said.This man basically exposed himself to these murders and since this case hasn't been opened in years and technology has had its advances, it's a lot easier for them to solve this case.

I saw this on the news this morning. It's good that justice will finally be served in regards to the unsolved cases.
