Robert Durst says he lied, penned 'cadaver' note to police

Robert Durst knew it would look bad if he was discovered to have written a note with the word “cadaver” directing police to the lifeless body of his best friend

LOS ANGELES -- Robert Durst knew it would look bad if he was discovered to have written a note with the word “cadaver” directing police to the lifeless body of his best friend. So the New York real estate heir lied about it for years. Durst admitted publicly for the first time Monday at this murder trial that he had, in fact, penned the note, though he denied killing Susan Berman. Durst said it was so hard to fathom that the author of the note and Berman’s killer were not the same person that even he questioned the plausibility of what he was telling jurors.
