Millionaire murder suspect Robert Durst will remain in New Orleans for a while. He’s been indicted by a grand jury on weapons charges.
California has wanted Robert Durst back to face a murder charge ever since his arrest last month in New Orleans. An FBI agent recognized Durst, and police seized a loaded gun, cash and a map of Cuba from his hotel room.
Attorneys for the real estate heir say the seizure was illegal because there was no warrant issued. The attorneys also want to return him to California, where they can fight charges that he killed his friend, Susan Berman, in 2000. The Orleans Parish indictment delays the extradition.
Durst was the subject of an HBO documentary series, "The Jinx," in which he was recorded off camera muttering what could be interpreted as a confession.
