Robert Durst Arrested in New Orleans on an Extradition Warrant out of Los Angeles, CA For the 2000 Murder of Susan Berman
Robert Durst has been arrested in New Orleans, Louisiana on an extradition warrant out if Los Angeles, California for the 2000 murder if Susan Berman. Durst was arrested on Canal Street by FBI agents just before 11:00pm Saturday at a J.W. Marriott hotel in New Orleans. The 71 year old Robert Durst was never charged in connection with the unsolved 2000 murder of Berman in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles. Berman was killed as New York authorities prepared to question her in the 1982 disappearance of Durst’s wife, Kathie. Robert Durst has recently been the subject of the HBO true-crime series “The Jinx” about his suspected involvement in three murders. Durst was also tried for the fall 2001 murder of neighbor Morris Black, who was found dismembered in a Galveston, Texas, bay. He was acquitted in 2003 via a self-defense claim.
Durst was arrested by FBI agents just before 11:00pm Saturday at a J.W. Marriott hotel in New Orleans on a Los Angeles warrant for the murder of Susan Berman 15 years ago, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. FBI agents say Durst had registered under an alias and paid for the room in cash. Fake documents were found in his possession. The FBI believed he would flee, possibly to Cuba.
Berman’s body was discovered in her West Los Angeles home on Christmas Eve 2000. Since that time the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery Homicide Division has conducted an investigation into Ms. Berman’s death.
“We are relieved and also grateful to everyone who assisted in the arrest of Robert Durst,” Durst’s brother Douglas said in a statement to ABC News. “We hope he will finally be held accountable for all he has done.”
Durst, 71, has never been charged in connection with the unsolved 2000 murder of Berman in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles, who was killed as New York authorities prepared to question her in the 1982 disappearance of his wife, Kathie. As a result of investigative leads and additional evidence that has come to light in the past year, investigators have identified Robert Durst as the person responsible for Ms. Berman’s death.
Following the arrest of Robert Durst, his brother, Douglas Durst, who now runs the family real-estate empire, released a statement Sunday afternoon saying: “We are relieved and also grateful to everyone who assisted in the arrest of Robert Durst. We hope he will finally be held accountable for all he has done.”
New York Times – On HBO’s ‘The Jinx,’ Robert Durst Says He ‘Killed Them All’.
On Sunday night, in the final moments of the final episode of a six-part HBO documentary about him, “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst,” Mr. Durst seemed to veer toward a confession that could lift the shroud of mystery that surrounds the deaths of three people over the course of three decades.
“What the hell did I do?” Mr. Durst whispers to himself in an unguarded moment caught on a microphone he wore during filming. “Killed them all, of course.”
In the years since his wife, Kathleen Durst, disappeared in 1982 after spending the weekend at the couple’s country home in Westchester County, Mr. Durst has bounced in and out of jail for other crimes, cut ties with his family, remarried, and sued his brother for a $65 million share of the family fortune. Through it all, he has maintained his innocence in the disappearance of his wife, while also denying any role in the 2000 death of the Los Angeles friend, Susan Berman.
The note read ‘BEVERLEY HILLS POLICE – 1527 BENEDICT CANYON CADAVER’ – it has distinctive block capital lettering and the word Beverly Hills is misspelled.
A note written by Robert Durst, scion of one of New York’s largest real estate empires, may hold the key to the murder of his neighbor.
Durst, a billionaire, was questioned but not charged in the mysterious death of his first wife Kathleen McCormack in 1982.
The 71-year-old was then questioned in 2000 after the death of his longtime friend and elderly neighbor Susan Berman, shortly before she was to be questioned if she knew about Kathleen’s disappearance.

UPDATE II: Prosecutor: Man held in wounding of two officers at Ferguson may have been shooting at someone else.
A man who participated in a protest outside the Ferguson police station Wednesday returned and fired shots — possibly at someone other than police — that wounded two officers, authorities said Sunday.
Jeffrey Williams, 20, was charged with two counts of first-degree assault, one count of firing a weapon from a vehicle and three counts of armed criminal action. He was in custody, with cash-only bail set at $300,000.
“It is possible that he was firing at someone other than the police,” St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert P. McCulloch said at a press conference Sunday. He said there had been civilians between Williams and the officers who were wounded.
UPDATE III: Picture 20 year old Jeffrey Williams, individual with previous record who was on probation and in possession of a handgun. I am most certain he did not have a permit to carry a handgun, nor went through any of the hoop that we law-abiding citizens have to.

A VAST LEFT WING CONSPIRACY: Is Team Obama and Senior Obama Adviser Valerie Jarrett Behind the Leak of Hillary Clinton’s Email Scandal?
HEY HILLARY … IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A VAST LEFT WING CONSPIRACY.
The New York Post is reporting via Edward Klein, that the Barack Obama White House is secretly behind the recent leak to the NY Times regarding the Hillary Clinton email scandal and her use of a private server while she was Secretary of State. Klein is saying that senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett is behind this, using individuals outside of the administration so that it could not be traced back to her or the White House. Hmm, sounds a bit like IRS-gate, doesn’t it, but I digress? Klein is also reporting that there are six separate probes into Hillary’s performance have been going on at the State Department, at the behest of Jarrett, that include investigations into Hillary’s conduct at Foggy Bottom, including the use of her expense account, the disbursement of funds, her contact with foreign leaders and her possible collusion with the Clinton Foundation. It is not breaking news that there is no love-loss between the Clinton’s and Barack Obama. Both narcissists in their own right, looking to be the key power broker of the Democrat party. A source close to the White House told Klein, “Obama and Valerie Jarrett will go to any lengths to prevent Hillary from becoming president. They believe that Hillary, like her husband, is left of center, not a true-blue liberal.” According to this source, Jarrett has had secret meetings with possible Democrat 2016 presidential nominees Elizabeth Warren and Martin O’Malley, “promising O’Malley and Warren the full support of the White House if they will challenge Hillary for the presidential nomination.”
Obama to self, This woman actually thinks I am going to let her be president?
Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett leaked to the press details of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail address during her time as secretary of state, sources tell me.
But she did so through people outside the administration, so the story couldn’t be traced to her or the White House.
In addition, at Jarrett’s behest, the State Department was ordered to launch a series of investigations into Hillary’s conduct at Foggy Bottom, including the use of her expense account, the disbursement of funds, her contact with foreign leaders and her possible collusion with the Clinton Foundation.
Six separate probes into Hillary’s performance have been going on at the State Department. I’m told that the e-mail scandal was timed to come out just as Hillary was on the verge of formally announcing that she was running for president — and that there’s more to come.
Members of Bill Clinton’s camp say the former president suspects the White House is the source of the leak and is furious.
What, Hillary did not realize she was #2 on the list, right below The Tea Party?
As Legal Insurrection opines, if Valerie Jarrett takes Billary down, she will have done the nation a favor, regardless of motive. It really does appear that the enemy of your enemy, is your friend. It would seem, if Klein’s sources are correct, that Barack Obama does not want Hillary Clinton anywhere near the White House in 2016 to potentially undo any of his far left transformations of America for political expedience. Could Obama or his brain, Valerie Jarrett, really be this all-consumed and petty? If so, it may not only sabotage Hillary’s 2016 run for the presidency but the Democrats as well and in the end truely be the undoing of all of Obama’s disastrous policies.
