Filmmaker Andrew Jarecki has spent much of the last 20 years thinking about Robert Durst, the notorious real estate heir who was suspected in multiple murders but managed to evade justice until the very end of his life.
Jarecki's Emmy winning 2015 docuseries, "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst," thrust Durst into the spotlight by revisiting the mysterious deaths to which he was linked: the 1982 disappearance of Durst's first wife, Kathie McCormack Durst; the murder of his best friend, Los Angeles writer Susan Berman, in 2000; and the grisly killing and dismemberment of his elderly neighbor, Morris Black, in 2001. And it famously led to Durst's arrest in New Orleans the day before the broadcast of the explosive yet controversial finale in which he muttered, "killed them all, of course" to himself while in the bathroom.
In "The Jinx — Part Two," a six-episode follow-up that concluded Sunday on HBO and is available to stream on Max, Jarecki looks at the dramatic events that have unfolded since Durst's This time around, the focus is less on Durst and his damaged psychology and more on the circle of friends and confidantes who helped him along the way.
