Millionaire real-estate heir Robert Durst, seen here with a cap in December, was arrested by FBI agents in New Orleans on Saturday, March 14. Investigators say they believe Durst, 71, was behind the slaying of writer Susan Berman, Durst's longtime friend who was shot dead in her Beverly Hills, California, home in 2000. Durst is also the focus of the HBO documentary series "The Jinx," which explores his wife's 1982 disappearance and investigators' suspicions that Berman was killed because she knew what happened to her. Durst has long maintained he didn't kill Berman or have anything to do with his wife's disappearance.

Durst appears in a Galveston, Texas, courtroom in 2003. Durst admitted that he had killed and dismembered Morris Black, a neighbor in Galveston, but he argued he'd shot Black in self-defense during a struggle. A jury found Durst not guilty, but he remained in jail for a time because of a bail jumping charge.

"The dominoes of justice are now starting to fall," Jim McCormack, her brother, said. "Through our faith, hope and prayers the last domino will bring closure and justice for Kathie."
