why is no one talking about this?

I've got it on my list, but figured I'd wait for a few episodes to release before committing.

Robert Durt's murder problems took over our lives in 2015 when The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst miniseries premiered on HBO. For six weeks, we watched Durst explain the details of the multiple murders he was accused of committing with the emotional sincerity of a catatonic liar. Nine years later, director Andrew Jarecki traces Durst's final years after the first season with The Jinx Part Two.

If the first season of The Jinx proved anything, Durst was one of the dumbest criminals ever to walk the Earth. The real estate heir was a suspect in the 1982 disappearance of his first wife, Katie Durst, the 2000 murder of longtime friend Susan Berman, and the 2001 death and dismemberment of his neighbor, Morris Black. He was never charged with the first two and was acquitted of murdering Morris Black in 2003 after claiming he did so in self-defense. He was rich, not in prison, and inexplicably had friends who would do anything for him, including one who became his friend after serving as a juror on the Morris Black murder case. Yet, something in his brain told him to get on camera and incriminate himself for an HBO show.

The Jinx Part Two picks up the Durst story after the March 2015 airing of the Season 1 finale.
