Property heir Robert Durst, who has been lucky in escaping arrest for years for allegedly murdering three people, has confessed to chopping up one victim and still walking free.
The 71-year-old business tycoon walked into the bathroom, forgetting that he was still wearing a live microphone from a TV interview, which continued to pick up the alleged confession he thought he was whispering only to himself, the Daily Express reported.
The property mogul in an unguarded moment muttered to himself in the bathroom, "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course."
Durst, who had spent months posing as a mute woman to avoid questioning, at times living in poverty despite being the heir to a fortune, has been arrested for murder 14 years after his last alleged slaying and faces a trial that could put him on death row.
Investigators found that Durst had been beating his wife, who told friends she was terrified of him and yet police couldn't prove that Durst had killed McCormack and after years missing she was declared dead.
Durst has been charged with the killing of his friend Susan Berman in 2000 because she knew too much about his wife's disappearance and was about to talk to police.
