Disgraced real estate heir Robert Durst was indicted for allegedly murdering his wife in 1982 on Monday, about six weeks after a jury convicted him of murder in the 2000 death of his longtime friend Susan Berman.
Prosecutors alleged that Durst murdered Berman because she was about to tell authorities that she provided a fake alibi for Durst after his first wife, Kathie, disappeared in 1982.

A Westchester County grand jury indicted Durst for second-degree murder on Monday after charges were filed against him on Oct. 19.
All felony cases require a grand jury indictment to proceed in New York unless the defendant waives the requirement.
