The mental state of a person is determined by congenital and acquired factors. Robert Durst suffered a split personality from an early age. This pathology arose after his tragedy in the family.
Childhood and youth
To "put together" solid capital, you need to choose a profitable niche and a suitable length of time. Grandfather came to America as a poor tailor. Skillfully operating in small amounts, reselling real estate, in twenty years he became a millionaire. Robert Durst was born April 12, 1943 in a wealthy family. The child was the eldest of four heirs. Parents at that time lived in the famous city of New York. My father was engaged in real estate investments. Mother kept housekeeping and raised children.
Until the age of seven, Robert grew up as a completely safe child. He kindly communicated with his younger brothers and sister. On one unfortunate day, her mother committed suicide by throwing herself from the roof of a high-rise building that belonged to the Durst family. All this happened in front of the boy. Since then, Robert's behavior has changed dramatically. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, ran away from home. He studied at school not bad, but almost did not communicate with peers. Classmates nicknamed him "loner." The psychiatrist, who examined Robert at the age of ten, was diagnosed with personality decomposition and the initial stage of schizophrenia.
Crime Secrets
After school, Durst was educated at the University of California's Department of Economics. After receiving a bachelor's degree, Robert moved to Vermont and tried to pursue an independent career in business. To this end, he opened a small health food store. However, the trade, as they say, "did not go." In 1969 he returned to New York and began working as a real estate agent in his father's company. Four years later, Robert married Kathleen McCormick. For two years they looked closely at each other before deciding on a marriage.
At first, relations developed quite normally. However, every year the situation worsened. Husband and wife often quarreled. Robert began beating his spouse. The final denouement came in January 1982. Once a woman disappeared. About the disappearance of his wife, Robert reported to the police only four days later. They did not initiate a criminal case, since Kathleen's body was never found. She remained on the list of missing persons. Durst officially divorced his wife in 1990, eight years after her disappearance.
