Dokumenttisarja paljastaa pitkään salassa pysyneitä, seitsemän vuoden tutkinnan aikana kerättyjä tietoja ratkaisemattomasta rikossarjasta sekä sen pääepäillystä Robert Durstista, newyorkilaisen miljardöörisuvun perillisestä. Sarja tehtiin yhteistyössä fiksun, erakkomaisen ja median riepotteleman Durstin kanssa, joka ei ole koskaan ennen puhunut asiasta julkisesti. Jareckin yksinoikeudella haastattelema Durst kertoo hätkähdyttävän suorapuheisesti tapauksesta, joka on askarruttanut viranomaisia jo 30 vuoden ajan. Durstin epäiltiin pitkään sekaantuneen nuoren ja kauniin vaimonsa katoamiseen New Yorkissa vuonna 1982, jutun avaintodistajan murhaan Beverly Hillsissä vuonna 2000 sekä naapurinsa murhaan ja paloitteluun Texasin Galvestonissa. Hän on kuitenkin itsepintaisesti vakuuttanut olevansa syytön ja on edelleen vapaalla jalalla. (HBO Nordic)

The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst (2015) 

englanti You have to clear the dust out of the place in your heart for 60-year-old men on the run from the police who can't think of a better disguise than a mute old lady. Who, when they disguise themselves by shaving their heads, take off their eyebrows as well for good measure, and even when they have forty grand in cash in their car and the police in fifty states are on the lookout for them, they'll go to the convenience store for a chicken sandwich because fuck you, that's why. Piecing together the backstory and psychological profile of an individual who is in such disdain of mainstream society that even his privileged status as a millionaire heir doesn't quench the urge to smoke weed with some Texas white trash in the middle of nowhere or just ride around the world with a stranger's identity, ideally that of the person he chopped up like a lego minifig the day before, well that’s fun just as a matter of principle. The escapades of this confused psychopath, who deftly slips out of any trouble, if only because his rich developer family keeps covering his ass so he doesn't ruin their brand, then decades later takes it upon himself to tell his story, combined with his inability to remember to take the microphone off when he has to mutter to himself what a murderous piece of shit he is, that is definitely worth a documentary. A single, two-hour one, cut down to get rid of the sensationalist neighborhood monologues, repeated speculation, and cheaply shot scenes. Judging by the way Jarecki always got fancied up for those interviews, I was expecting a punchline at the end that he's actually been trying to sell Durst a car the whole time. ()
