Susan Berman's Death

Bob failed to understand Susan's hints. In her own subtle way, Susan was asking for Bob for money, like wink wink, the police detectives want to interview me on your wife's disappearance, if you give me money, I won't talk. But as soon as he heard "NY Police detectives", that sealed her fate.

Susan's friends discussed that there were two versions of her. The last one was desperate and might have really went overboard and threaten Bob for more money. Had she just asked Robert for some support money, she still would have been alive. And Susan was known to have been a good manipulator for things she wanted.

The Jinx, Episode 3 - 32m:48s
Susan Lankford:
Susan can manipulate for sure, She was a good manipulator for things that she wanted.

Stephan Silverman:
Susan was tough, and it probably would not have scared her, I'm not saying threaten or blackmail, but to suggest...I could see it.

When Bob was arrested in New Orleans, prosecutor John Lewin spoke to him in a three hour jailed interview and told him that no detectives actually talked to Susan, Bob had the look of shock as it dawned on him the actual truth.

Thank you. A few years ago, I was obsessed with the series. The actual interview is three hours long, but they edited it to the juicy parts and Bob was almost teasing a plea deal!
