He voluntarily called me around the time that my film was coming out and said, i heard about this movie. Id like to see it. And then, he volunteered to come and sit for an interview. Reporter sitting down with a filmmaker who directed a movie about you killing your wife may seem strange to us, but, to forensic psychiatrist dr. Sasha barday, who admits he has never spoken to robert durst, it makes perfect sense. His motivation is, i want to be in front of the camera. I want to tell it my way. I dont want the press to tell the story. I want to control the press. I want to control this movie, so im going to make you make this movie about me. Reporter but dursts lead attorney, dick deguerin, who won an acquittal in the morris black case, told me he has a different take on his clients motivation. Bob doesnt want to be bob. Hes been hounded most of his adult life, and he just doesnt want to be that person. Reporter but he could have just gone on with his life. He knew he was the suspect in a murder and a disappearance of his wife, and yet he chose to do a documentary. Its hard to understand why somebody would do this unless he wants the attention. Oh, he doesnt want the attention, and im sure hes regretful that he ever decided to put his trust in such a person. Reporter dursts interview with jarecki became the foundation for the sixpart hbo documentary series the jinx the life and deaths of robert durst. I will be able to tell it my way. Reporter but thats not what happened, says deguerin. Do you feel these filmmakers took advantage of him . Yes. No question. Hes a smart guy, hes very naive, hes slightly autistic, and he trusted jarecki. And jarecki broke that trust. Reporter in jareckis documentary, robert durst incriminates himself several times over. We were surprised that he made a whole bunch of admissions and said things that were kind of shocking. Reporter some of his admissions about the disappearance of his wife kathie back in 1982 were especially shocking, says lisa depaulo, who has written extensively about the case. There were a lot of things that i went, holy crap. He admitted in this docuseries that his story about the night kathie disappeared was a lie. His story was that he had walked three miles to a payphone to call her. Did you end up speaking to her that night . No. That was his alibi all those years ago. It vindicated everything we as a family and all of kathies friends have been saying to law enforcement. Reporter kathleens brother, jim mccormack. She never got out of westchester county. She never left that area that night. Reporter durst also admitted he never went for drinks at his neighbors house that night as he had claimed. Thats what i told the police. I was hoping that would just make everything go away. Reporter everyone now is asking, why did he admit that all those things were lies . Theres speculation that robert durst wanted to get caught, and thats why he did this documentary. Well, thats speculation. Thats not a fact. No, i dont believe that. The psychology of bobby durst is, like, the eighth wonder of the world. He definitely kind of gets a perverse pleasure out of getting away with stuff. Mr. Foreman, i understand you have a verdict. His wealth, his intelligence, his slyness has enabled him to maybe get away with murder. We, the jury, find the defendant, robert durst, not guilty. The look of surprise on his face when the verdict is reached in galveston, i read that as oh, my god, i just got away with it, because i think thats the game that. That he was playing. Reporter some, like detective coulter, think durst has left a trail of clues taunting the police, like the socalled cadaver note, that anonymous letter sent to the police at the time of the susan berman murder telling them there was a body in the house. The envelope was addressed to the Beverly Hills police, and inside is just a note with her address, 1527 benedict canyon, and the word cadaver. Reporter the envelope held an important clue the detective hoped would help solve the case. The word beverly was misspelled. Whoever wrote that had to be her killer, correct . I would say so. Reporter the l. A. Police eventually concluded that durst was probably the author of the letter but never acted on it. Whats all this . Reporter but the filmmakers did. They unearthed a letter that is identical. Reporter bermans stepson gave the filmmakers a letter written to susan berman from robert durst. Just like in the socalled cadaver letter, the word beverly is misspelled. Can you read me the spelling of Beverly Hills . Reporter the filmmakers confronted durst with the second letter in a second interview. And can you tell me which one you didnt write . No. He was unable to determine which of the two handwritings that were showing him was his own. And, in fact, we think both of them were his own. Reporter in the documentary, durst denies writing the note. When you see Robert Dursts writing and its up against the writing on the cadaver letter, it does look very similar. Theres no question. What jarecki did was he, again tried to trick bob by showing him both of them but isolated and not telling him which one was which. And bob very candidly said to the question, can you tell which is which . , he said no. So, yeah, it looks similar. Reporter but doesnt that mean that he could be the writer of the cadaver letter . Well, im not saying that he is or isnt the writer. I dont believe he is, but theres no proof. Theres no fingerprints. Theres no d. N. A. Theres no scientific stuff that they can rely on. Reporter but filmmakers came up with Something Else something that put them and robert durst on every front page across america a stunning statement many are calling a confession.

With everything you need for spring at walmarts low prices you can trust every day, what project will you take on . Reporter the most explosive moment in that hbo documentary wasnt the comparison of the curious handwriting on the letters. It was a controversial moment of audio recorded without Robert Dursts knowledge while he was in the bathroom. Durst began muttering to himself, as he often does. There it is. Youre caught. Killed them all, of course. Reporter to many, it sounds like he just confessed killed them all. It was a moment that shocked everyone. When did you actually learn, though, that he had been taped in the restroom . When the sixth segment played. Reporter along with the rest of america . Yep. Reporter what was your reaction when you heard that . My first reaction, what in the world are these guys doing to send somebody into the bathroom . Theres not a more private place, and they know that bob talks to himself. And thats just one of his quirks. Reporter when you listen to that, didnt bob durst confess to murder . No, no. Reporter how else could you interpret that . Theres 100 ways of interpreting it, one of them being very shakespearean, the soliloquy. Reporter degeurin is talking about scenes in shakespeares plays where characters like hamlet to be or not to be speak to themselves, trying out different thoughts. If you are a student of shakespeare, as i am, youll understand what im talking about. Reporter i mean, youre aware, though, that anyone watching that show now thinks that he just confessed to murder. I dont think thats a universal thought at all. There are people who feel like he got set up. My daughter is a journalist, and she was outraged at what jarecki and his producers pulled. Reporter degeurin is also outraged that, after dursts arrest this week, he was interviewed by los angeles prosecutors without his lawyer present. Thats a very touchy legal issue. You know, knowing that bob durst was represented by counsel, a prosecutor came out here and took him aside and questioned him for three hours. Reporter what was your reaction when you heard that . I was astonished. We dont know what happened. They recorded him, of course. Reporter why did robert talk to him . Hes pretty sophisticated. You say hes sophisticated, bob is not sophisticated. He is intelligent. He has aspergers. Reporter we asked the Los Angeles District Attorneys Office about this. They wouldnt comment. Whats more, deguerin sees an opening for his defense in this new government document. It reveals that, back in 2001, there were some l. A. Police handwriting experts who believed that the cadaver letter was actually written by a friend of susans named nyle brenner, who was a suspect at the time. Two of l. A. P. D. s finest, the supervisor of their handwriting section, said that the handwriting belonged to nyle brenner. Reporter years later, the l. A. P. D. Crime lab experts changed their mind and decided once and for all that the letter was in bobby dursts handwriting. What kind of science is that . As brer rabbit would say, throw me in that briar patch. Reporter deguerin believes that the change of handwriting analysis by the cops will help him undermine the governments case. In the course of the interview deguerin also revealed that durst is in very poor health. Hes taking painkillers. Hes had hydroencephalitis and has a shunt in his brain. He had esophageal cancer. Hes had cervical spine surgery. Im not a doctor, but theres some serious things. Reporter in spite of his poor health, officials believe that durst was about to cut and run. When Police Caught up with him at a new orleans hotel, he was staying there under a false name. He had a. 38 revolver, a latex mask, his real passport and birth certificate. And he had been withdrawing 9,000 a day in cash over a period of 35 days. He had over 42,000 mostly in hundreds in his hotel room. There was speculation in the papers that the reason why robert had come here to new orleans was because he was going to flee to cuba. Cant talk about that. Reporter but, were there plans to go to cuba . Im not going to talk about that. Reporter okay. Wont confirm or. sigh i think the. The. Well, i think the words cuba came out of the mouth of the prosecutor first. Reporter whats the chance though, to be honest, that robert durst will get bail . I mean, he has a history of. Of running when he was out on bail. The chances are slim and none. And slim just left town. Reporter while hes waiting for. How can you beat that as an end line . Reporter laughs dont worry, it probably will be. Whatever dursts intention, the bottom line for deguerin is that he believes the prosecution case is woefully thin. You were successful as the lead attorney in galveston, and he was acquitted of murder. Not guilty. Reporter its going to be a lot tougher in l. A. , isnt it . I dont know. I think the evidence here is a lot more troublesome for the prosecution. Not only is it a circumstantial evidence case, its a weak circumstantial evidence case. Its based primarily on two things this junk science letter and the bathroom confession. Killed them all, of course. Reporter and finally tot,nigh t foramhe filies of susan berman and bobby dursts wife kathie, there is some hope that there is an end in sight after this long, painful ordeal. It may not happen in 30 days or 30 weeks or 30 months, but its. Its really the beginning of yet another journey. And i have renewed hope and energy and faith that this time around, its going to be a positive ending justice for kathie and also for the berman family. Thats a genuine expression of my own faith and belief. Captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by Media Access Group at wgbh access. Wgbh. Org the whole family is dead, and hes nowhere to be found. He was pretending to be a writer for the new york times, pretending to be me. So, why me . I felt like i knew you. Chris, are you accused of what you were accused of doing .

Police tell me it happened in this residential area.

We need a little more feedback. Im hoping we can get that today. We want to know because the weather is changing. There will be more people out. More everything going on. No, we dont want to keep calling you for every little thing. Now, whats little . It ends up being that we have a bullet in our car. This is not little anymore.

The pinky party came through with free manicures and massages, but the most important offerings were mammograms. Africanamerican women have the highest Breast Cancer rate in the entire country and todays event in the district 7 and 8 was meant to eliminate barriers to free mammograms and other health screenings. What we do about Breast Cancer and community resources. We do that through a party. Weve learned that there are so many barriers that keep women from coming out to take care of themselves. Transportation, the fear of no child care, so weve combined all of those things in a party. This community which is primarily africanamerican, they tend to get Breast Cancer at younger ages. The Breast Cancers can tend to be more aggressive. So, we want to have the highest quality machines that we can try to find these Breast Cancers early. In younger women, they tend to have more dense breast tissue and 3d mammography is ideal to find Breast Cancers in dense breast tissue.

It started out cool, but then by midafternoon it was warnl. Warm. Yeah, i went out for a run with a hoodie on and by mile four, tied around my waist. Keep it coming.

Lets take a look at the michael and sun westerlyth weather cam and its weather cam and its a nicelooking shot. Its 51 degrees. That may not be our high temperature. We have a significant cool down on the way. Right now its still pleasant with a light breeze out of the south at 5 miles per hour. Our weather headlines a weak cold front will exit as we head into the wee hours of the morning. That will lead to cooler temperatures. It will be a little breezy on sunday. Thats why the feelslike forecast is significant. You saw that near the beginning of the forecast. Chilly on monday. It will be chilly even for late march. It will feel a little bit nippy and then as we head into tuesday, temperatures starting to step up again, but then rain becomes an issue once again in our forecast. We have two major storms storm systems on the storm systems on the map right now. This one down in the south is going to miss us completely. The Pacific Northwest storm which doesnt look impressive whatsoever right now, thats the one thats going to bring us rain starting in the middle of the workweek. This entire storm system which is bringing soaking rain through the gulf Coastal Region looks to graze us to the south. That means just some cloud coverment you can barely even see the cover. You can barely see the cold front thats bringing us the breezes as we head into early sunday morning on the map right now. On 9 future cast, just that cooler air arriving as we head into tomorrow. No big deal. Lots of sunshine. It will feel chillier especially when you are stepping out the door monday morning. Also, i think well get a little bit of an east flow. You know how that tends to develop the cloud cover as we head through the day on monday. We will see more clouds as we head back to work and that will help to step those temperatures downward. Tuesday, we are watching that storm system approach. No rain i dont think until after the evening commute on tuesday. Overnight tonight, certainly no rain. In fact, mostly clear skies dominating. 3442, winds out of the north northwest 1015 miles per hour. Yeah, it will be a little bit breezy and then still breezy in the morning tomorrow with temperatures in the 40s in the morning. In the
