Thank you very much. Meantime with robert further on suicide watch, the investigation is shedding new light on his arrest for murder. Nbcs Stephanie Gosk is in new orleans. Once again, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, matt. Police believe robert durst is worth and estimated 100 million. In the months leading up to his arrest he was withdrawing large sums of cash 9,000 each time he made a withdrawal. By the time Police Caught up with him in that hotel room they say he was getting ready to run. Days before his arrest robert durst used a fake i. D. To check into this new orleans marriott. When police searched his hotel room they found more than 40,000 in cash a loaded revolver and a rubber mask. Those details are revealed in a search warrant executed three days later at furthers home in houston. In it they believe their search will provide evidence for preparations to flee from law enforcement. To avoid prosecution for the murder of susan berman. Berman served as a spokesperson for her millionaire friend when he was reign arraigned for the first death of his wife kathy. Susan berman was gunned down in her home just as she was to talk to authorities about the cold case. In the hbo documentary the jynx producers confronted him with a letter he wrote to berman before her death. Did you write the cadaver note . No i didnt write the cadaver note. Explaining the similarities in it and an anonymous letter. The same misspelling. Can you vel tell me which one you didnt write . No. As early as 2003, handwriting anal cysts conclude. It is probably durst is the writer of the cadaver letter. In 2013 they identified him as the author of the cadaver and envelope. They say its hard to definitively connect durs to the the murder. Absolutely. The only thing they can do for certain is place him in the state of california. Its an awfully big state. When they raided his home they found two books about him, which claims he is a serial killer. The fact that he september them all these years struck a chord. Reporter today he remains behind bars. The lead defender for durst calls handwriting analysis in his words junk science. He points out investigators in the berman case once identified a totally different suspect using that same letter. Meanwhile, sources close to the investigation are telling nbc news authorities in l. A. And new york are reaching out to other cities where durst may have worked or lived and are asking people to lock another their missing persons list and see if they see any link to robert durst. Thank you so many forensic and liam twists and turns in this one. Right. Which leads us to lisa bloom, analyst, i will start with the fact that robert durs is the on suicide watch as we understand it in this jail. Yet, his own defense lawyer tells the Washington Post hes in good spirits. He talked to him. What do you make of that . His defense Attorney Says he does not think he is legally insane which is interesting. It seems like perhaps hes setting himself up for an insanity defense. Anybody that watched the jynx as i did, may think the guy has some issues. The legal affidavit to search his home has a lot of revelations. According to police he had a fake i. D. A gun, a la tex mask and 42,000 bucks in cash. Is that the kind of evidence that ultimately could come into trial to show consciousness of guilt . Absolutely. It also planted his bail hearing. All of that adds up to somebody who sure looks like he is planning to flee somebody in the past who used cash to get around to evade the law. I think that will be the argument. Other interesting wrinkle. He had three books in his possession at the time of his ae rest. All about the disappearance of his former wife kathy durst. What do you make of that one . I think he wants to know what the arguments against him. The books put that altogether clearly. When you watch the jynx you you can see he was ready for this handwriting issue. In california handwriting analysis is accepted. Its controversial nationwide. Here the Supreme Court has said it is admissible. It has been used many many times. You watch a television show. L one thing, a court of lies totally different. Do you consider this to be an uphill battle for prosecutors . It sure is. Savannah he has the best team. He has beat one murder wrap. He can afford the best experts and jury consultants. They will pour over everything. In this Police Report thats just released. There is this issue where police said somebody elses handwriting matched the killers letter. Then they had to repudiate that and say actually i think its robert durst. I think the defense made a lot out of that. Stephanie gosk lisa thank you so much. By the way, so many people phosphated by this case an all new dateline tonight. We will dig into it. Meanwhile, a massive man hunt is under way for a group of alleged accomplices in that deadly terror attack at a museum in tunisia. Katy good morning to you. Reporter good morning, matt.

When we asked are there other cameras, he states they may have been erased. Erased . Are you kidding me .

New partnership between japan and the u. S. To help the 62 Million Girls who are not in schools across the globe. She said failure to provide education to them is a waste of human potential. Meantime president obama is floating the idea of making it mandatory to vote in the United States bringing the discussion of Voting Rights and Campaign Finance in cleveland. The president said the u. S. Should be making it easier to vote not harder. He says if everyone voted, it would completely change the political map.

Can we go back to Something Interesting tamron said the president floating this idea of whether voting should be handtory. As tamron mentioned, president obama spoke to cleveland about the importance of middle class importance. He was asked how to still improve the countrys low voter turnout. His response has a lot of people including us talking this morning. Take a look. In australia and other countries its a mandatory vote. It would be transformative if everybody voted. That would counteract money more than anything. So the president went on to say the people that dont vote tend to be yug, of lower income and part of minority groups. Those are the people we should get to the polls. Less than 37 of eligible voters voted in the last midterm election. Its more people than the population of russia. We asked you on the Facebook Page should voting be mandatory in the u. S. . Right now, its an overwhelming vote. Jill writes in voting is a right, not something that should be mandatory. An uneducated vote because its mandatory is more harmful than a nonvote. Alexandria takes the other side saying making mandatory voting opens the eyes to many. Good call obama. There is a lot more on this coming up. I heard the arguments on both sides,io enwhere i come down on it. No matter what they need to make it easier to vote. All right.
