Los Angeles County District Attorney's officials said Robert Durst was "tying up lose ends" when he killed his Galveston, Texas neighbor in 2001 as part of an an effort to cover up the murder of his missing wife nearly two decades earlier, and Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively obtained video of how the criminal murdered him.
In an motion filed on Dec. 27 obtained by Breaking Celebrity News, Los Angeles prosecutors argued evidence related to Morris Black's homicide, for which Durst was acquitted of in a separate trial, should be included in the ongoing case against Durst for the 2000 death of his friend, Susan Berman.

In the 439-page motion, prosecutors argued this evidence must be included in the upcoming trial because what Durst did in 2001 — fatally shooting Black, dismembering his body, and disposing the body parts — are "analogous to the actions" that the millionaire took to conceal his wife's murder 19 years earlier.
Prosecutors included a short animated video that shows the struggle between Black and Durst, and how Durst shot his neighbor. Durst's defense attorneys initially filed a motion in an attempt to keep the evidence out of Durst's upcoming trial.
In their Dec. 27 motion, prosecutors said Black was the only person in Galveston who was aware of the millionaire's true identity since Durst was living as a woman under the alias of Dorothy Ciner.
"When defendant Robert Durst killed and dismembered Morris Black in 2001, it was the violent climax of his nearly year-long effort to conceal himself from New York authorities, who had re-opened their investigation into his missing wife, Kathie Durtst's, disappearance," wrote Deputy District Attorney John Lewin in the motion. "Defendant's actions demonstrated both his guilty conscious for having killed Kathie, as well as his plan to make it appear as though she had voluntarily abandoned her life. In addition, these actions not only revealed Defendant's fear of being exposed to criminal prosecution for killing his wife, that also unveiled his motivation for killing Susan Berman: to eliminate her as a witness."
Prosecutors allege Durst killed Berman because he wanted to eliminate her as a potential witness, who could expose Durst to criminal prosecution for killing his wife, Kathie, at their Westchester County, New York home on Jan. 31, 1982. Prosecutors said the morning after he allegedly killed Kathie, Robert instructed Susan to call Kathie's medical school and pretend to be his wife.
