When a person is born into wealth, privilege & power it’s easy to believe they will have an amazing life & lots of opportunities presented to them. But what if a psychopathic narcissist is born into one of the wealthiest families in America? Could a privileged start in life ever stop someone from becoming a killer…? Today’s case shows that money & status mean nothing when you are intrinsically evil & cold blooded. Robert Durst is believed to have killed 3 people including his wife Cathy,his best friend Susan Berman & his neighbour Morris Black. After escaping justice for murdering & dismembering Black he left court a free man. However Durst’s lies would finally catch up with him & luckily his ego would finally get the better of him . The truth of his wicked crimes come to light in the most unexpected way, when he accidentally confessed whilst wearing a microphone for a tv interview . This slip up led to Durst being reinvestigated for murder & facing justice at last … This bizarre, fascinating case shows that no matter what kind of privilege one is born into, they are still very capable of becoming a cold & dangerous killer.….
