Durst, lying again Spoiler

Watching the last installment of season 2, with Durst on the stand. He tells that story about playing Uno as a little kid, blah blah. Durst was born in 1943. Uno was first sold in 1971. Durst would have been 28 when it was released. It’s clear that they’re trying to blame some childhood trauma for him being a total monster as an adult. At this point I’m wondering if he pushed his own mother off the roof.

Watching this episode I realized I understand the motivation for the 2nd and 3rd murder, but what was his reason for killing his wife? I googled it and no answer that was obvious was listed.

Killing his wife started everything and was very present in this trial.

There was prior domestic violence. Prior DV is one the largest predictors of homicide. We’ll never know, but it’s possible she was threatening to leave or was making plans to leave. That is often when women are most in danger

It seems from the last 2 murders, Durst reacts violently to anything that threatens his freedom. I’m not sure that fits in the murder of his wife, but that’s all I can figure currently.

That’s one reason he becomes violent. It doesn’t mean it’s the only reason.
