Before she was fatally shot in her Los Angeles home, writer Susan Berman said that Robert Durst confessed to killing his wife, a key witness in the real estate scion’s murder case testified Thursday. Prosecutors allege that Durst killed Berman, his confidante, because he feared she was going to talk to detectives about the 1982 disappearance of his wife, Kathleen Durst. “Susan said to me, ‘Bob killed Kathie,’” Chavin testified, adding that Berman told him the confession came from Durst himself. “Kathie’s dead, we can’t do anything about it,” Chavin testified Berman told him. Douglas Durst had asked Chavin to visit the family business, where Robert Durst was also working at the time.
