How many people do you think Robert Durst has murdered?

On his 30th birthday in 1973, Durst married Kathleen McCormack. Durst divorced her in 1990, eight years after her disappearance, claiming spousal abandonment. On December 11, 2000, shortly before Susan Berman was murdered in Los Angeles, Durst married Debrah Lee Charatan. According to The New York Times, the couple briefly shared a Fifth Avenue apartment in 1990 but "have never lived together as husband and wife". Durst once told his sister that it was "a marriage of convenience"; "I wanted Debbie to be able to receive my inheritance, and I intended to kill myself," Durst said in a 2005 deposition. Charatan currently lives with one of Durst's lawyers, Steven I. Holm.

Durst traveled and lived under dozens of aliases over the years, using different identities to buy cars, rent apartments, and open credit card accounts. "He had a scanner, copier and a laminating machine," a former office employee of Durst told Newsweek. "What I didn't realize is that I unwittingly saw what would have allowed Robert Durst to make a fake driver's license." Durst was also "a prolific user of private mailboxes," and apparently conducted business under a number of canine-themed names: Woofing LLC, WoofWoof LLC, and Igor-Fayette Inc.

In the early 1980s, Robert Durst owned a series of seven Alaskan Malamutes each named "Igor", which according to Durst's brother, Douglas, died under mysterious circumstances. In December 2014, prior to the airing of The Jinx, Douglas told The New York Times, "In retrospect, I now believe he was practicing killing and disposing his wife with those dogs." Durst was once recorded saying he wanted to "Igor" his brother Douglas. Robert, however, has disputed the notion that he owned seven dogs named "Igor"; he owned three, he said, one that was run over and another that died in surgery after eating an apple core, "before the Igor that lasted forever."

In late 1981 while Durst was married to Kathie McCormack Durst, he was nearing the end of a three-year affair with Mia Farrow's sister Prudence Farrow Bruns, who was also married at the time. A few months before Kathie's disappearance in January 1982, Bruns called Kathie and asked her to give Robert up, as friends said she wanted him all to herself. After Durst's acquittal of murdering Morris Black in 2003, Bruns contacted law enforcement authorities with concerns for her safety, as she said Durst was angry with her for terminating their relationship three days before Kathie disappeared
