Robert Durst either got away with three murders or he’s the unluckiest man in the world, being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Starting Sunday, February 8, HBO will be premiering The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, directed and produced by Andrew Jarecki, which features the first time that Durst has spoken publicly about the accusations.
Here’s how HBO describes it:
THE JINX: THE LIFE AND DEATHS OF ROBERT DURST (debuting Sundays Feb. 8-March 15) spotlights Robert Durst, the scion of New York’s billionaire real estate family, who has been accused of three murders over the past 30 years, but never convicted. Brilliant, reclusive and the subject of relentless media scrutiny, Durst has never spoken publicly – until now. Directed and produced by Andrew Jarecki and produced and shot by Marc Smerling (the Oscar® nominees behind “Capturing the Friedmans”), the groundbreaking six-part documentary series tracks Durst’s strange history against the backdrop of unimaginable wealth and privilege. The filmmakers’ seven-year investigation and the extraordinary relationship that evolves between filmmaker and suspect ultimately reveal secrets that have baffled authorities for 30 years.
