Family Of Robert Durst’s First Wife File Lawsuit

The family of the first wife of beleaguered millionaire, and suspected murderer, Robert Durst have filed a lawsuit against him for her death and seek to collect $100 million. Durst’s first wife vanished after leaving a party to meet her husband in 1982 and has been presumed dead for years. This lawsuit comes on the heels of the HBO documentary in which Durst seems to have inadvertently confessed to another murder while hooked up to a microphone. However, the defense counsel for Durst denied his client’s involvement who is currently incarcerated in federal prison over gun charges. No word yet on when a trial will begin.
