As the first season of HBO's "The Jinx" is airing in early 2015, and incriminating evidence comes to light, Robert Durst - scion of one of New York's most powerful real estate families - goes on the run. He is captured in New Orleans and charged with the 2000 murder of his best friend, Susan Berman.
