Event In Montclair Will Give ‘Inside Take’ On Robert Durst Murders

MONTCLAIR, NJ — The Montclair Women’s Club will host a public event featuring an “inside take” from a reporter who has covered the Robert Durst murders on Friday, Feb. 9.

The event – “Tales of the Robert Durst Murders: A Talk with Charles Bagli” – will take place from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at 82 Union Street.

According to a news release from organizers:

“For 40 years Robert Durst, the multi-millionaire son of the New York real estate Durst family dynasty, eluded investigators for three separate murders in three different states - all connected by a single thread. His wife went missing, his best friend was shot in the back of the head, and his grouchy neighbor ended up in pieces in Galveston Bay. He was finally brought to justice after he made the fateful decision in 2010 to talk to Bagli and the filmmakers of HBO's The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. It took another 11 years to finally get justice, when one of the best cold-case prosecutors in the country brought him to trial in Los Angeles and connected the dots. With Season 2 of The Jinx coming soon, join us to get an inside take on this fascinating story from the reporter who has covered it all from beginning to end… and on.”

The public is welcome at the event; parking is in back. The program is free for members and $10 for non-members. Register online here.
