To me, it seems like the last episode was just staged. Too many things just conveniently come to light, including the ending.
Edit: I just realized the director of the film was a producer on Catfish. Now, I am sure this entire thing was staged. Probably by both Durst and Jareki. It's pretty obvious that Susan Berman's son was implicit in the ruse, as well. This is just one big FU from Durst, I think.
The last interview probably wasn't the last, as mentioned before it was probably edited to fit the narrative. But on the other hand, you can always speculate what some comments that a person talking to himself really means. He maybe just confronts different scenarios in his head or just trying to relive his inner pain with tourettelike talking. It doesn't say that much, but all the other evidence and circumstances on the other hand say a lot.
shareIn my opinion not "staged", but I believe the order of events was different and Jarecki knew about the similarity of the cadaver note and Bob Durst's letter right from the start.
I believe he did his homework before.
I don't think this was a FU from Durst, Durst got tricked by Jarecki whose whole goal was to let it end like this.
Jarecki might made a thrilling documentary, but he's a bad actor, and I didn't buy all his "I like they guy, but this changes it all for me." when he allegedly just found out about the cadaver note. He knew that long before and played with Durst.
Neither I buy that they discovered the bathroom tape that late. It only would have spoiled their success if they revealed earlier what they had taped.
Also, it was so obvious how they tried a couple of times to provoke a situation where Durst would get arrested, like when they went up Douglas's house. They KNEW he wasn't allowed to go there, yet they took him there. Must have sucked that this attempt failed and nobody noticed that Bob was there.
All in once Jarecki was really manipulative during the whole thing, yet acting all like he doesn't know where this story will take him. It was TOO obvious that he knew pretty well where this will end up.
Does anybody know if the police ever confronted the "CADAVER" letter handwriting against Durst´s own in other documents that were known to have been written by him?
Maybe the police had knowledge of this but figured it wouldn't hold up as evidence in court?
The forensic analyst clearly states that the handwriting similarities on the documents provided by Jarecki and the "CADAVER" letter were "bang on".
So, was it the old letterhead? Was it the misspelled 'Beverly'? Or could it just have been a GIGANTIC oversight?
No he didn't decide to willingly confess to killing people on TV, wtf?
