Summary

If you lived under a rock in 2015, you probably missed HBO's documentary, "The Jinx" which told the story of mysterious and bizarre deaths that occurred around multi-millionaire, Robert Durst. His first wife, Kathie, disappeared without a trace. Then his best friend, Susan, was murdered. And finally...a man named Morris Black -- his dismembered body (minus his head, which was never found) was found floating in Galveston Bay, in Galveston, Texas. Listen to this week's episode to hear more about these crimes and find out what (if any) consequences Robert faced.
