The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst

CrimeDocumentaryMystery48 min per episode

A New York real estate heir sits at the center of a string of deaths and disappearances that have shadowed him for years. This documentary series follows the case around Robert Durst as investigators, court records, and old reporting trace the women and friends linked to him, including his missing wife and others whose deaths drew suspicion. As the story moves through decades of testimony and reopened questions, Durst agrees to extensive interviews and offers his own account, turning the series into a tense back-and-forth between his version of events and the evidence surrounding him. What unfolds is both a biography of a wealthy, elusive suspect and an investigation into how he avoided answers for so long.
