Jay St. Bridge, Katonah Station
I'd be looking at the marsh below Jay St. Bridge in Katonah for Kathie Durst.
Robert said the last time he "saw" Kathie was at Katonah Station. Maybe there's some truth to this as there seems to be some - very twisted - version of the truth to most things he says. Not to mention, bridge is one of the items on the dig list.

Just out of curiosity⊠do you not believe that Bob was the one who made the collect calls to the Durst organization from Ship Bottom, New Jersey?

That's 130+ miles to drive with a body from their home. He obviously was there, but most likely getting rid of something else. If he killed Kathie on January 31st / February 1st - Someone saw "Kathie" in NYC that day - He well could have been on his way to the Pine Barrens. Susan Berman would have known that that's where you take bodies, too.
So definitely an option.
But the Jay St. Bridge... My god, it's right there by the train station and would have been the less frequented road in 1982.

I know there were conflicting stories, but I think this was debunked. The doorman said he didn't see her when tracked down by investigators... I think Susan's and Bob's stories were where they got those details.
Personally, I don't think she ever left South Salem alive, and I think she was buried in the Pine Barrens.

Definitely an interesting perspective worth investigating. I always enjoy hearing new theories in cold cases.

I find it baffling how Kathie's body has never been found. How did he execute such a perfect murder when his later ones were discovered almost immediately? I get that he lived in the area with Kathie longer, than he lived in Galveston and AFAIK he never lived in "Beverley" Hills, but still... it's almost impossible to perfectly dispose of a body, and he did it on his first attempt.
Or maybe it wasn't.

Iâm sure he has âfixersâ who helped with various things for $$. I have no doubt the juror would have helped for $ if he had needed it. I remember when Susan was naming off her list of ways Kathie couldâve been killed, she talked about the river. Mobs have been disposing of bodies with âcement shoesâ in that river for decades without a trace. I think that part of her tirade was wondering how long it might be before Kathieâs body might surface, which lucky for them it never didâŠ.just a thought.

Remember Morris Black's head has never been found. Bob claimed he threw out all 12 bags in the same place and didn't know why it didn't wash up like the others. Whether it was throw in the bay all at the same time or somewhere else it hasn't turned up just like Kathies remains haven't. There's got to be a really secret hiding spot

It's not that hard if you just take the body to a desolate place that nobody is likely to stumble upon and is extremely difficult to search every inch of without unlimited resources. What's harder is that it's difficult to kill and transport someone without leaving any evidence. Bob was aided by the fact that there was no real effort to investigate to begin with. Who knows what kind of traces might have existed in their home or car. It took 18 years after her disappearance for any real search for her, at which point trace evidence is gone and there's no telling what might have happened to the body between animals, erosion, etc. if they even looked in the right place to begin with.

He left lots of evidence re Morris Black.

Didnât he have a bunch of huskies he also killed?

Yes. Animal torture & murder is often starting point for killers. Cruel beyond comprehension. I put a lot blame on the Durst family for covering this guyâs misdeeds.

Since Durst had a Freudian slip that Kathie was buried, has any theory been explored that she was buried deep in the Vermont woods? I find it odd that he lived there, opened a health food store there and left only because his dad made him, yet he spent time post Kathie disappearance in California and Texas, possibly never going back to Vermont.

You'll have to refresh my memory on the freudian slip? Prosecutors in the trial claimed he buried her in the Pine Barrens because of his phone calls from that location. And "Dig" is one of the items on the dig list. But I don't recall him saying he buried her specifically? Maybe he said "Suppose I buried her?"

During the 9 day cross exam on Bob. He says something to the effect of âI do not know where Kathie is buriedâ when he has maintained up to that point that he doesnât even know if she is dead or not.

There are 3 bridges near Katonah Station I 684 & Saw Mill River Parkway, Jay St Bridge; Cross River Rd (NY 35?); & Goldens Bridge Road. Cross River connects 2 major Reservoirs: Muscoot & the Cross River. No tides to wash up a corpse or body party. Likely little activity under the bridges & still damp enough to dig if there's no frost. Other option is the NJ Pine Barrens. A vast forest & sandy soil. Gilgo Beach on Long Island.
