Robert Durst, scion of one of New York’s billionaire real estate families, has been accused of three murders but never convicted. Brilliant, reclusive, and the subject of relentless media scrutiny, he’s never spoken publicly—until now. During interviews with Andrew Jarecki, he reveals secrets of the case that baffled authorities for 30 years. In 2010, Jarecki made the narrative film All Good Things based on the infamous story of Robert Durst. After Durst saw the film, he contacted Jarecki wanting to tell his story. What began as a feature documentary ultimately became a six-part phenomenon as more and more of his incredible story was revealed.
As new evidence is revealed, Robert Durst is arrested and charged with Susan Berman's murder. But who will support Bob in his time of need?
Durst contacts former friends and associates from jail, including Nick Chavin and Susie Giordano, friends who had helped Durst in the past. Nick initially tries to avoid getting involved in the case, but his wife Terry contacts the Los Angeles prosecutor to let them know her husband knows more than he is telling them, and Nick decides to cooperate.
Durst appears in court for the Susan Berman murder trial in Los Angeles in 2020. The court hears details of his first wife Kathie’s disappearance in 1982, and the prosecutors make the case that Berman helped Durst cover up the crime. Bob’s dear friend Nick Chavin takes the stand
Durst’s longtime lawyer, confidant, and friend Stewart Altman is accused by prosecutor Lewin of being evasive on the stand, but his wife Emily becomes distraught and is more revealing. In an unusual step for a defendant in a murder case, Durst decides to take the stand.
