Los Angeles County prosecutors called Burst a 'narcissitic psychopath,' who murdered his friend to cover up his wife's mysterious disappearance in 1982. Although he was never charged, the real estate heir was a top suspect in his wife's disappearance and the murder of a neighbor in Texas. Prosecutors have alleged that Durst killed his wife and then killed Berman 18 years later to cover up the murder.
