These aren't just homes. We're talking storage facilities and P.O. boxes.

The version Bob told over the years believes author Matt Birkbeck doesn't tell the real story.

It was really strange, you know, him and Black palling around in Galveston amongst the homeless.

Certainly not the famous killing of his elderly neighbor Morris Black, or Bob's activities in Galveston and elsewhere.

Birkbeck heard this.

I have a really good source that was close to the defense team and I was told that Durst, he was extremely concerned about Karen Mitchell and was so concerned he thought he was going to get charged.

Durst brought this up on his own with his defense attorney?

Yes. And Dick DeGaran apparently said to him, Bobby, let's worry about one case at a time.

Not true, said Dick DeGaran.

Did Bob?

No.

I've never said definitively that he was a serial killer.

What I said was that there's so much out there about him that clearly there's something going on here.

And that law enforcement needs to look into it.

Waste of time, said Dick DeGaran.

Well, there's no evidence.

And to think, you know, they have to have a theory that he's some kind of serial killer.

He's not a serial killer.

A guy who doesn't... Well, it sells magazines. It sells books. It causes people to turn on their TVs.
