Robert Durst sought homeless woman for sex

Robert Durst, the cross-dressing scion of a $4.4 billion Manhattan real estate empire and now an accused murderer, allegedly tried to buy sex from a woman he met at a homeless shelter — and even tried to lowball her.

That is what a California investigator reported back in 2003 when he wrote Durst could be the "slim link" in the mysterious disappearances of two teenage girls, Kristen Modafferi and Karen Mitchell.

The revelation came as:

--- New Orleans authorities declared the 71-year-old suspect a suicide risk — and put additional protections in place Wednesday while he awaits extradition to Los Angeles, where he is to stand trial for the murder of former flak Susan Berman.

--- Durst had a latex mask to disguise his appearance and $42,000 in cash in his NOLA hotel room when the FBI busted him Saturday, a warrant out of Harris County, Tex., revealed.

The money was in hundred dollar bills and stashed in several envelopes. They also found a fake Texas ID with the name Everette Ward.

“That’s pretty good,” Durst reportedly replied when confronted with the ID.
