‘The Jinx’ Director on Robert Durst Arrest: ‘I Am Relieved’

“We were concerned that Bob was floating around,” says filmmaker Andrew Jarecki

Robert Durst’s arrest in New Orleans the night before Sunday’s finale of HBO docuseries “The Jinx” marked the end of a long journey for director Andrew Jarecki.

“We were obviously glad that they made the arrest. We were concerned that Bob was floating around, and we knew that Bob had been upset about Episode 5,” Jarecki told the New York Times Monday.

Durst, 71, seemingly confessed to three murders during the finale. “There it is. You’re caught,” he said. “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.” He was not on camera when he made the startling admission, and Jarecki said Durst left his microphone on and was talking to himself in the bathroom.

The real estate heir was arrested Saturday on charges stemming from an investigation into the murder of his friend Susan Berman in Los Angeles in 2000. He had previously denied involvement in Berman’s death, as well as the 1982 disappearance of his wife, Kathleen.

Judging by the length of time they waited before reporting his comment how could they feel relieved? He could have killed others during that time frame.It's a guarantee that if he had killed someone in the interim HBO would never have revealed it.Lucky for them he did not.
