The Turn To Tara team has obtained a court document revealing that Robert Durst quietly divorced his missing wife eight years after her mysterious disappearance, claiming spousal abandonment.
In his affidavit, Durst wrote he received no communication from his wife after she left their South Salem home on Jan. 31, 1982.
However, that s not what police say that Durst told them back in 1982.
Two sources who are close to the reopened probe confirm to News 12 that Robert Durst told detectives he dropped off his wife at a Westchester train station to head back to Manhattan, and then spoke to his wife on a payphone shortly after she arrived.
In back-to-back testimony Thursday, Robert Durst's former next-door neighbors contradicted his statement to detectives in 1982 that he went for drinks at their house on the night his wife disappeared.
