Durst is the son of New York City real estate mogul Seymour Durst. He has long been a suspect in the 1982 disappearance of his wife, Kathie, which was the basis of the 2010 movie "All Good Things" starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst. Dust was also under suspicion of the unsolved killing of his close friend Susan Berman in 2000, which he's now been arrested for. He was also a suspect in the killing and dismemberment of his neighbor in Galveston, Texas in 2001.
