Robert Durst has been indicted for the murder of his first wife, Kathleen, in January 1982.
According to Front Page Detectives, the Westchester County Office of the District Attorney announced today that Durst is facing an indictment for second- degree murder in New York. Durst is already in jail in California due to a separate murder case.
Durst was most recently charged and convicted of murdering his friend Susan Berman in 2000 in Los Angeles and sentenced to life in prison, according to the outlet. Prosecutors for the Los Angeles case believe Durst murdered Berman because he was scared she might reveal incriminating information about him regarding the disappearance of his first wife in 1982.
But these are not the only two people Durst is accused of murdering.
The 78-year-old real estate heir turned convicted murderer is also accused of murdering a woman in Texas after fleeing to the state to avoid being prosecuted in New York. He allegedly lived in Texas under a fake name is suspected of murdering his neighbor after she found out who he really was.
During the trial for killing Berman in California, the prosecutors argued to the court that Durst murdered a total of three people since 1982.
