Jeanine Pirro

Robert Durst and my quest for justice

The name "Durst" meant nothing to Jeanine Pirro fifteen years ago, when the former district attorney reopened the cold case of a beautiful fourth-year medical student who disappeared without a trace in 1982. Instead, Pirro felt a kinship with Kathleen Durst--whose lite had many parallels to her own--and a deep sense of how strange it was tor the seemingly happy 29-year-old woman to vanish from the face of the earth just months before graduation while her eccentric husband, a millionaire real-estate heir, waited five days to report her missing. Yet Pirro was cast as the bad guy, even as Robert Durst emerged as a suspect in the death of one of his closest friends and was tried and acquitted of the murder of his neighbor. For years, she has tirelessly crusaded for justice for Kathleen and the other victims, and her impassioned perspective in the HBO documentary series The Jinx made Pirro, now the host of Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News, one of its breakout stars. In this book, Pirro makes her case against Durst beyond a reasonable doubt, combining the facts from her own research and her exclusive interviews with many of the people featured in The Jinx to reveal stunning, previously unknown information about the crimes he is accused of committing. Durst got away with murder because he was from one of the wealthiest families in New York City. He got away with it because he was shrewd and cunning. But Jeanine Pirro won't let it go so easily. This is a comprehensive and definitive insider's account of the enigmatic man and his gruesome deeds.--Adapted from book jacket
