The Big Picture The confession heard around the world occurred almost 10 years ago and now viewers are finally getting the anticipated follow-up. The new trailer for The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst teases the aftermath of the first season. Since the 1982 disappearance of his first wife, real estate heir Robert Durst has been the subject of much suspicion. Kathleen McCormack vanished without a trace on January 31, via NPR, which was just the start of Durst's suspicious behavior.
“You don’t kill three people over 30 years and get away with it in a vacuum,” Jarecki says in the trailer. This statement should be the thesis of the entire series. It is understood that Durst's victims were his wife, his neighbor Morris Black, and his best friend, Susan Berman. These circumstances are covered at length in the documentary, but the new season teases that many of Durst’s friends may be willing to overlook these facts — at least for a cut.
“I am getting my own 15 minutes,” Durst says in the final moments of the trailer, “and it is gargantuan.” True enough, this 15 minutes has lasted for the past decade. No matter how many people may have been aware of his crimes and were willing to get him out of prison, that never came to pass. In 2021, Durst was convicted of murdering Berman which earned him a life sentence in prison depicted in the first teaser for Part Two. Finally, after so much conjecture, Durst would pay for his crimes.
