Robert Durst, the troubled heir to a New York real estate fortune and subject of HBO's documentary The Jinx, has been arrested in New Orleans, the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office said.
Durst, 71, was arrested late Saturday on a warrant issued by Los Angeles County, his online arrest report said.
Durst, whose life has been described by NPR as "undeniably bizarre," has been previously questioned in connection with the disappearance of his first wife in 1982, the killing of a close friend in 2000 and the shooting of a neighbor in Texas a year later. Those cases are the subject of HBO's documentary series, the final episode of which airs this evening.
Durst has maintained his innocence.
As NPR noted in a review of All Good Things, a fictionalized account of Durst's life, the real estate heir's tale was "filled with disappearances, murders and nearly two decades spent in hiding under assumed names and an alternate gender."
