A gripping work of true crime from former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro—the “true hero” ( New York Post ) of the hit HBO documentary series The Jinx —this insider account delivers the definitive investigation into Robert Durst and the decades-long mystery surrounding the disappearance of his wife, Kathleen Durst. When Kathleen “Kathie” Durst vanished in 1982, suspicion quickly fell on her husband, Robert Durst, a wealthy New York real estate heir. Yet despite mounting concerns from friends and family, Kathie’s disappearance was never fully investigated, and the case went cold. Fifteen years later, then–district attorney Jeanine Pirro reopened the case—drawing intense scrutiny and criticism for pursuing a powerful man many believed untouchable. In this revealing book, Pirro recounts her relentless pursuit of justice, laying out evidence, interviews, and previously undisclosed details that point to Durst’s guilt. Drawing on her unique perspective as a prosecutor and her extensive involvement in the acclaimed HBO documentary series The Jinx , Pirro exposes the lies, evasions, and disturbing patterns behind one of America’s most infamous true crime cases. Featuring exclusive insights, firsthand interviews, and behind-the-scenes context not seen on television, this authoritative account goes deeper than the documentary to present the full, unsettling story of Robert Durst and the crimes that haunted him for decades. “In He Killed Them All , Jeanine Pirro brilliantly unravels the bizarre and psychologically complex mystery of the Robert Durst murder case. Pirro makes the unbelievable believable, while exposing corruption and incompetence at every level on every page…This book is in a category by itself.” -- Nelson DeMille "A concise, no-holds-barred retelling of the Robert Durst investigation and murder trial from the woman who pursued justice to the bitter end.” -- Kirkus Jeanine Pirro is the former district attorney of Westchester County, where she started the first domestic violence unit in a prosecutor’s office in the US. She is an Emmy Award winner, a legal analyst for Fox News, and the host of Justice with Judge Jeanine, as well as the author of several books, including To Punish and Protect: Against a System That Coddles Criminals.          Opening Statement As I write this, Robert Alan Durst is rotting in a federal facility. But I don’t want him to die. And, no, I am not relying on his lawyer Dick DeGuerin’s statements about his client’s poor health. If Dick DeGuerin told me what time it was, I’d check my watch; if he told me the sky was blue, I still wouldn’t believe him. All you have to do is look at Robert Durst to see that he’s not long for this world. The man is seventy-two years old, but he looks like a thousand. His physical disintegration from when I first laid eyes on him in 2001 in Pennsylvania to 2013 when he filmed the HBO documentary series The Jinx to now is startling. He’s stick thin, weak looking, and shuffling. A strong wind would topple him. On one side of his shaved head, he’s got a shunt to drain out excess brain fluid. The condition is called hydrocephalus. It might kill him. It might not. If the brain fluid doesn’t do him in, his esophageal cancer will. For now, Durst is being held in a federal facility, having been transferred to St. Charles Parish’s Nelson Coleman Correctional Center to be treated for his illnesses, in Hahnville, Louisiana. I’m praying his brain and cancer treatments work. I want Robert Durst to live long enough to stand trial in Los Angeles and be convicted for the December 2000 murder of his friend Susan Berman in that city. I want him to live long enough to be indicted for and convicted of the murder of his wife, Kathleen, who vanished in 1982. And then I want to dance in my Manolo Blahniks on his grave. As district attorney of Westchester County, New York, I took a fresh look at Kathleen’s case in 1999 when new questions about it came to light. The decision to reopen that seventeen-year-old cold case was like kicking a hornet’s nest. Sixteen years after that, the hornets are still buzzing, louder than ever, and a lot of people have been stung in the interim. I kicked that nest because I knew it was hiding a man who killed his wife, a woman who disappeared without a trace. I knew it then, and I know it now. How? Guts and instinct. When you’ve done enough of these cases, as I have, you just know. There’s a second sight, a déjà vu, an overwhelming sense that you’ve been here before and you know how it ends. The dots are all over the place, but the lines aren’t yet connected. But pure guts and instinct aren’t enough to bring a criminal down. You need evidence, pure and simple. And Robert Durst, for some reason, is expert at getting rid of evidence. Actually, he doesn’t deserve that much credit. He was aided by money, power, society, and a culture (including the police) willing to believe that a woman who vanished from the face of the earth pr
