The director of ‘The Jinx’ was left feeling a mix of emotions after capturing convicted killer Robert Durst’s bone-chilling hot mic confession. Andrew Jarecki, who helmed the documentary series, revealed he felt ‘sad’ over the shocking TV moment where Durst seemingly admitted to multiple murders. Durst’s confession came after Jarecki and his team presented him with a letter linking him to the murder of Susan Berman. Prosecutors believed Durst killed Berman to silence her about his missing first wife, Kathie McCormack. Despite being charged in McCormack’s death and acquitted in a separate murder case, Durst remained elusive until his eventual arrest, conviction, and death in prison at the age of 78. The hot mic captured Durst’s chilling words: ‘There it is, you’re caught … What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.’ Jarecki recalled the intense moment, revealing that Durst was on the verge of confessing before regaining his composure and making the shocking admission off-camera. The director’s recollection of the events showcases the surreal and dramatic encounter between the filmmaker and the convicted killer.
