The plan to indict the real estate millionaire comes shortly after a grand jury found him guilty of killing his friend, Susan Berman, who knew about his ex-wife’s death.
A New York prosecutor reportedly plans to indict millionaire real estate heir Robert Durst within a week or two for the death of his ex-wife Kathie Durst, who went missing in 1982. Westchester District Attorney Mimi Rocah chose to bring Durst’s case to a grand jury this month, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press on Friday under the condition of anonymity. The person added that the grand jury process will last around a month. Roach’s office reportedly said last month that it reopened the investigation and that the case was ongoing. Referring to the investigation, Durst’ lawyer, David Chesnoff, said that he doesn’t “respond to rumors.” The Westchester County is now treating Kathie Durst’s case as a murder, News 12 reported. Though the police never found her body, Kathie was declared legally dead in 2017 after her family requested so, according to the AP. Last month, a Los Angeles jury f ound the 78-year-old Durst guilty for the murder of his friend, Susan Berman, after months of testimony and around seven hours of deliberation that spanned over the course of three days.
