Why did he dress like a woman?
I didn't really understand why he dress as a woman. Was it just to show how unstable his character was? And if so wouldn't you think that would have swayed the jury a bit in their verdict?

When I first saw the alleged Katie getting in the cab after her disappearance, I thought it might be him pretending to be her. I could tell the person was wearing a wig. How terrible that Deborah covered for her death and never went to the police about it (if that's what really happened).
shareThere's a few reasons I think as to his dressing as a woman.
1. He's a cross dresser, getting in touch with that side of himself.
2. He's getting in touch with his alter-persona, the crazy side.
3. He's hiding from people looking for him.
4. He's hiding himself from himself, denial. (David is the guy who did the crime, the woman's somebody else, not David, she doesn't know David.) Thus allowing her to live with peace in an otherwise unrest, stormy mind.

I watched one of those Dateline or 20/20 things on this before the movie came out. I thought (from the show) he dressed like a woman so no one would recognize him and couldn't be found because they were looking for a man and not a woman.
shareyes, I've heard the same explanation as Butterfly. I can't remember if they include it in the movie, but I heard/read that the old man knew David/Robert was really a man wearing drag the whole time.

Durst says on the DVD commentary that he did so because Jeanine Pirro was dogging him & he didn't want to be recognized.
However, he soon found that wearing a wig can be a lot of trouble, so he ditched the wig soon into his cross-dressing.
And, it was the fact that he had done that, according to him, that the police/D.A./whatever couldn't make it stick that he was 'hiding out' for nefarious reasons because they couldn't find evidence of his wearing a wig -- I believe that is how he put it (so I suppose by his rationale that made it appear that it wasn't some kind of consciousness of guilt on his part).

He's nucking futs.
