did he or didn't he?


The movie makes it seem like he could have done it, but it also makes him seem like he didn't. His last line to his father where he says "I miss her so much" makes it sound like she left him after discovering the bloody rag. But I read it deeper and thought he did do it and even though he killed her, he does miss her.

I give Ryan Gosling credit for delivering the line so perfectly that you can't really tell.

However, having read a 48 Hours article about Robert Durst and the interviews with people who knew him and Kathie, there's no doubt in my mind that he did do it. Whereas the movie makes it look like he could possibly be innocent.

What are your thoughts?

It wasn't nine months for murder. It was nine months for "improper disposal of a body". Oh, those crazy Texans!

This movie is a mixture of both fact and fiction.One cannot prove his innocence and guilt by watching this movie alone.

I believe he did it and in Texas you can basically get away with murder. 7/10

Look at the night sky, where does it end?

See at first I didn't think he had done it, I thought it was too easy, but then the scene where (I forget his name) the old guy goes to kill his best friend it seemed as though David had asked him to do so. That part was confusing because of course it was fictional (since theres no evidence and also no one was ever found guilty for her murder). So its a mystery to me. I wonder if it was Davids father or he had something to do with it. Im not sure. I guess we will never know the truth. Though he did kill the dog, and he was violent towards her. Also when she went back into the house she had a spade with her as if she was going to attack him. Prehaps there was a struggle, but again that was added fictionally. The part were his best friend pretends to be her and you see her taking of the blonde wig in the taxi cab too...I would say the writers and director definately believe David killed her, since they suggested it in small tones in this movie. The make it look like he had everyone doing his bidding. My question is that after she went missing, how come straight away her family werent honest about the abuse she had suffered from her husband? Why did it take 20 years for the case to be reopened as suspect? Because surely if theres a suggestion there had been violence in their marriage, the moment she went missing he would be the PRIME suspect. That part confuses me slightly. All I would say is I hope never to come across this guy, because he sounds like a pretty twisted messed up man, dangerous to be around and I am shocked he is allowed to roam the streets a free man. He should be in a psych ward.

More than likely considering he real life character and what he did. Although "more than likely" does not hold up in court, your need more proof than that, which is missing. The guy really got a way with two murders here...

I don't know anything about the real life story, but in the movie, David did killed her. Because there's no reason why she has gone off without telling anyone in her family.

The film very definitely expresses the opinion that Durst is guilty, even going so far as to include a possible explanation for someone of Kathleen's description having been seen in the city after she was probably dead - which also provides a motive for the later murder of Susan Berman.

I think they probably got pretty close to the truth, there. It's just too bad no one could ever prove it.

"You drank too much!" "That's a thing?"

RE Movie: Yes, he did kill her.

RE Real Life: Almost positively he did kill her but since "she" was seen by the doorman the day after Durst said she left on the train it looked like she was a missing person. 20 years after they reopened the case but still weren't able to solve the case.

However, since the airing of his interviews on HBO's The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, the New York State police and the Westchester DA's office have been watching very closely, especially after he stated he "fibbed" to the police.

On last week's episode he said that his lawyers told him that he only had to pay attention to the 1st and last lines of the oath....and not really the middle "the whole truth". He said "nobody tells the whole truth".

During a break when everyone walked out, he started talking to himself about what "half truths" he told when one of his lawyers rushed in to let him know that his microphone was still on and that everyone had just heard what he had just said!

He said he is also going to do more interviews after the 6th episode airs...hopefully he messes up and hangs himself!
