The Jinx Finale Recap: Trust Issues
Despite the predictable ending, The Jinx turns into a fearsome indictment of an elite class that will look the other way when it benefits them.
After the two finally decided to get married on December 11, 2000, journalist Lisa DePaulo notes, Durst bought a one-way ticket to California the next time to kill Susan Berman, who’d been his previous confidant. Jarecki reveals that Charatan’s take-the-money-and-run strategy was more methodical, with much of Durst’s money either tucked away in a trust or tied up in her new real-estate company, BCB Properties, which she was using to buy up tenements and small buildings, run off tenants, and sell for big profits in now-gentrified neighborhoods. • There’s an odd wrinkle here about Durst showing up at a family-business meeting after his first wife’s disappearance in “muddy boots.” That seems too ridiculous to be true, but evidence that he placed phone calls near the Pine Barrens, a location so notorious for missing bodies that it was featured on the most famous episode of The Sopranos, is awfully damning.
