This documentary series exposes long-buried information about a series of unsolved crimes, and the man suspected of being at its center - Robert Durst, scion of New York's billionaire Durst family - and was made with his full cooperation. A groundbreaking six-part documentary event directed and produced by Andrew Jarecki and produced and shot by Marc Smerling, this series exposes long-buried information discovered during their seven-year investigation of a series of unsolved crimes, and the man suspected of being at its center - Robert Durst, scion of New York's billionaire Durst family - and was made with his full cooperation. Brilliant, reclusive and the subject of relentless media scrutiny, Durst has never spoken publicly - until now. During exclusive interviews with Jarecki, he talks with startling candor, revealing secrets of a case that has baffled authorities for 30 years. Long suspected in the 1982 disappearance of his beautiful young wife in New York, the 2000 murder of the key witness in the case in Beverly Hills, and the subsequent murder and dismemberment of a neighbor in Galveston, Tex., Durst has consistently maintained his innocence, and remains a free man today. This unprecedented documentary event tracks Jarecki as he develops a relationship with Durst, unearthing thousands of pages of hidden documents, police files, key witnesses, never-before-seen footage and private prison recordings.

Der Unglücksbringer: Das Leben und die Tode des Robert Durst (2015) 

Englisch When I saw the first episode on HBO by chance, I couldn’t just leave it until I’ve been told the whole story. Robert Durst was weird since the first confrontation with the director Andrew Jarecki and I was simply curious where this documentary would lead. And it was going in a direction that made me stare with eyes wide open. In the future, if I ever want to think of a documentary with a very high informative value for psychologists which also does the commendable job of uncovering the truth, I will remember this crime documentary. One would not believe it is all real, due to Jarecki’s excellent editing and the way he put it all together. This documentary is simply a job well done and if you can stay till the end, you will be rewarded with a shocking climax that you do not get to see elsewhere. It was such a shock it made me speechless and I cannot imagine what the director Jarecki was feeling. Nevertheless, hats off to the director who went all in into this project and thanks again to HBO that it was part of it. If anything has any meaning in the filmmaking industry, then it’s this six-episode docuseries. ()
