Robert Durst, featured on HBO's 'The Jinx,' says he 'killed them all'
(CNN) -- He admitted to shooting and dismembering his neighbor but was acquitted of murder.
He was suspected in his first wife's disappearance, but no one could pin him to it.
And just before his friend was going to speak to investigators, she was killed.
Millionaire real estate heir Robert Durst's life is so bizarre that HBO made a documentary series about it called "The Jinx." But over the weekend, there were two major turns of events that could end Durst's freedom: his arrest in New Orleans in a 2000 killing and the broadcast of his restroom mutterings that were picked up on his live microphone.
"What the hell did I do?" Durst says from a bathroom at the end of the documentary. "Killed them all, of course."
His attorney says not to read too much into those comments. But more on that later.
This is the same guy who admitted in court of cutting up his neighbor's body and throwing it in the river, but he was acquitted because he claimed the guy was already dead, and they couldn't prove otherwise.
If you've been watching the HBO series, he pretty much admits lying to the police on 2 other murders of his wife and a friend. Last week, they aired the bombshell, where the victim's family found a letter with identical handwriting and misspellings to an anonymous letter mailed to the press about where to find her body.
