Sneak peek: Murder in Beverly Hills | Forensic Files

it's a crazy case that always seems to get crazier I'm Jack Leonard I work for the Los Angeles Times she's just in her
home somebody comes in shoots her in the back of the head my name is Paul Coulter
and I was one of the detectives assigned the Susan Berman murder investigation [Music]
we were next-door neighbors for nearly two years I saw the name Susan Berman in my heart stopped
Susan was a media personality and never boring in a weird way maybe that's why I
became a journalist because there was always a story that I knew someday I would have to get and it's my own if you
killed Johnny no the defendant is a multi-millionaire Robert Durst has been suspected in three killings over the
last 35 years it's about power and money you pay a million and a half dollars create theater in a courtroom and
everybody's like poor Bob I mean it is the theater of the absurd well what's gonna happen is you're gonna
be charged with murder there's no fingerprints there's no blood evidence there's no ballistic evidence there's
nothing that connects him to the actual murder of Susan Berman Dick DeGuerin and
I'm lead counsel for Bob Durst this is gonna be a huge case money power murder I think Bob that you drove down
to Los Angeles and killed Susan I do back the prosecution is saying he's a menace to society he might still be able
to kill some of these witnesses he's so dangerous that their identity means to be held kept secret from the defense
until right up to when they're about to testify this is the kind of thing that happens you would expect in a mob case
or a terrorism case I believe he's innocent innocent a Susan Berman's murder yes you're sure of that
I'm as sure as I'm sitting here [Music]
