Durst was suspected but never charged in the disapperance of his wife in 1982 and the murder of a friend in Los Angeles.
He later went on the the lam disguised as a woman living in Texas. He confessed to killing and dismembering his elderly neighbor in 2001, but he convinced a jury he killed the man in self-defense and was convicted on lesser charges.
Last month, HBO announced it will run a six-part documentary about Durst. "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst" premieres in February.
