The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst

A bizarre 2001 murder in Texas resurrects public interest in NYC real-estate scion Robert Durst. Hosted by Jinx Executive Producer Zac Stuart-Pontier, the show reveals why Bob Durst sought out director Andrew Jarecki and agreed to an exclusive one-on-one interview. It features never-before-heard conversations and Durst’s long-hidden prison phone calls.

In this episode, Robert Durst reveals information about his mother's tragic demise as well as the marital issues that led up to his wife Kathie's disappearance in 1982. Andrew dissects Bob's alibi from the night his wife vanished, while also featuring a never-before-heard conversation with Bob's former secretary, Flo Jones.

Robert Durst has once again made headlines when Susan Berman – his long-time best friend and a possible witness to his wife’s disappearance – is found murdered in LA. This episode focuses on Susan's past as the daughter of a notorious Las Vegas gangster, in order to determine if she might have known crucial information about what happened to Kathie. Bob discovers why it's not a good idea to interfere with Kathie's best friend Gilberte.

Robert Durst goes on trial for the murder of Morris Black in Texas with a dream team of attorneys. We dig into Bob's penchant for disguises, his relationship with Morris Black, and what may have motivated Bob to kill him.

In the years since Kathie Durst disappeared, no progress has been made in finding out what happened to her. Then, a breakthrough: a voicemail from Susan Berman's son Sareb Kaufman holds a crucial piece of evidence that could be the key to solving the mystery. Andrew seeks advice from former OJ prosecutor Marcia Clark, and decides to confront Bob, putting him back in the hot seat for an interview that could change everything.

In the final episode of Part One Andrew approaches his greatest challenge yet: convincing Bob to sit for a second interview during which he plans to confront him with damning evidence on camera. Bob's evasive tactics and lies threaten to derail Andrew's efforts, but fate intervenes, providing unexpected leverage. As tension mounts, Andrew and filmmaking partner (and podcast host) Zac Stuart-Pontier meticulously rehearse for this pivotal moment – wondering the whole time whether this will lead to a breakthrough, or disaster.

As Bob’s last interview ends, he whispers a confession that will remain hidden for months. Listen to a special bonus episode that uncovers how it is discovered and what comes next, as the filmmakers race to track down Bob before the show airs and he disappears.

Just before the finale of The Jinx Part One airs, Bob Durst goes on the run. Director Andrew Jarecki fears for his family’s safety until Bob is arrested by the FBI in New Orleans. Then, Andrew travels down to New Orleans to see if Bob has more to say.
