My Take
I want to be clear: Robert Durst earns a place in this database as a cautionary figure, not a celebrity to admire. What disturbs me most about his story is how wealth functioned as armor — a real-estate heir who drifted through decades of suspicion over his wife's disappearance and two killings, shielded by money, lawyers, and an unsettling charisma. That he was ultimately undone partly by his own words in a documentary feels almost literary. His life is a case study in privilege, impunity, and the slow, imperfect machinery of justice, and that is precisely why it remains worth examining.
