Robert Durst, the disgraced son of a New York real estate magnate, was the subject of multiple murder investigations and an HBO documentary in which he seemed to confess. He died at the age of 78 in a prison hospital.
New York real estate heir Robert Durst has been sentenced to life in prison without a chance of parole for the murder of his best friend more than two decades ago.
The 78-year-old real estate tycoon was sentenced with no possibility of parole for the killing in 2000. Prosecutors said he shot Susan Berman to stop her from talking to police about his wife's disappearance.
