Relatives of Robert Durst s first wife, whose 1982 disappearance culminated last year in a murder indictment against him, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against his second wife, who stands to collect millions of dollars from the late real estate scion 's estate.
Kathie McCormack Durst's family alleges in the lawsuit filed Monday that Robert Durst's second wife, Debrah Lee Charatan, helped him avoid justice for years in connection with McCormack Durst's death and two other killings.
A lawyer for the McCormack family, Robert Abrams, said Charatan is believed to be the sole or primary beneficiary of a trust worth tens of millions of dollars and is now the nominated executor of Durst's estate.
