You are correct. We don't know for sure if Durst killed Kathie. It would be VERY likely, however. This family had so much money and power behind them, but barely did anything to try and help find Kathie. Robert did kill Morris Black in "self-defense". But the fact that he never told the police makes it incredibly odd. He was only given 8 or 9 months in prison for improper disposal of a body. And yes, Susan Berman was murdered execution style just before she was going to be questioned about Kathie's disappearance. No one has been convicted of the murder.
Is Robert not as guilty as we think? I'm not sure. I think, however, the fact that his name is tied to all of these events, is very suspicious. I personally believe that he killed his wife, especially since his family did very little to try and find her. I also think it's crazy how he was only sentenced to less than a year in prison for burying a body that he killed and not telling a single soul about it. It may as well been in self defense, but that doesn't excuse the fact that he buried the body himself and didn't tell anyone. That makes him even more guilty in my book.
With Susan Berman, we have no idea if Robert was involved or not. That may as well just of been a coincidence.
Either way, I think that Durst is guiltier than he has been proven to be. And yes, we just can't prove it.

I agree, it is all very suspicious that Robert's name is tied to all of the events.
I think he got off so light on the improper disposal of a body due to his family name and I'm sure a very well payed Lawyer.

Only the broad strokes are true. Most everything else they changed, or just plain made up.

How would they know Susan B was masquerading as Katie?
I really liked this film but there were a few things I didn't get. Also, what was it that Kadie found covered in blood right before she disappeared?

-> How would they know Susan B was masquerading as Katie?
There's some info on this website: http://archives.lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2004/02/25/cover_story/cover.txt
"The dean of Kathleen Durst's college told investigators that a woman identifying herself as Kathleen called in sick to school around the time of her disappearance. Friends and family believe Berman made that call."
I guess if a few people thought that Susan was helping Durst with his alibi, then it would make sense she would pose as Kathleen.

If you don't have evidence, why do you think that? Pure prejudice I guess. We don't know what we can't prove - that's why courts require proof.
Besides, you're taking your facts from the movie. He didn't serve 9 months for improper disposal of a body - he served about 3 years on a variety of charges.
