"48 HOURS" PRESENTS MILLIONAIRE AND ALLEGED KILLER ROBERT DURST IN HIS OWN WORDS IN "MURDER IN BEVERLY HILLS"

Saturday, Feb. 11 - 9:00 PM ET/PT

Erin Moriarty and 48 HOURS deliver the first in-depth look at an unprecedented interview that infamous millionaire and alleged killer Robert Durst gave to the prosecutor looking to put him in prison, in "Murder in Beverly Hills," to be broadcast Saturday, Feb. 11 (9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Durst, who has been in jail since he was arrested in March 2015 in New Orleans on a gun charge, is facing trial for the murder of his friend Susan Berman, in California 17 years ago.

However, the biggest obstacle he may face in trial is an interview he gave to Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney John Lewin shortly after being arrested in New Orleans.

"I think you want me to go through the details of Susan," Durst says in the interview.

"I do," counters Lewin.

"Maybe there were two people who killed Susan," Durst says, "One person could go into the house and shoot Susan. And the other person could be the driver."

What makes the Durst interview notable is that he agreed to do it shortly after an interview he did for the HBO miniseries "The Jinx," which put him back into headlines again and arguably led to renewed interest in the case.

"It's a fascinating interview," Los Angeles Times writer Jack Leonard says of Lewin's sit-down with Durst. "Like a game of cat and mouse going on."

"There's no fingerprints. There's no blood evidence. There's no ballistic evidence," Durst's attorney Dick DeGuerin tells Moriarty. "There's nothing that connects him to the actual murder of Susan Berman."

The prosecution, however, thinks otherwise, and is preparing to take Durst to trial, where secret witnesses will emerge.

"The prosecution is saying he's a menace to society - he might be able to kill some of these witnesses," says Leonard. "That he's so dangerous - that their identity needs to be kept secret from the defense right up until when they're about to testify."

Berman was the daughter of a well-known Las Vegas mobster, which initially led police to think it was a mob hit. At the time of Berman's death, Durst was hiding out in Galveston, Texas, to avoid the Westchester County, N.Y. District Attorney, Jeanine Pirro, who wanted to talk with Durst about the 1982 disappearance of his wife. In Texas, Durst took on the identity of a mute woman.

Durst and Berman were friends, and she publicly supported him from allegations that he knew more about his wife's disappearance than he had told police. Durst wasn't considered a suspect in Berman's death until nine months later, when he was involved with the death of Morris Black in Galveston. Durst maintained he accidentally killed Black in self-defense. He then cut up Black's body.

In the interview with Lewin, Durst dances around key elements of the Berman case and other parts of his life. At one point, he even appears to be pushing for a deal with the prosecutor.

"I'm pretty confident of this," Lewin tells him, "you're not going to see the outside again as a free man."

"So if I was to accept that," Durst responds, "I'm not going to be out of prison - now the question is where do I want to spend my time - assuming we can come up with something."

Will prosecutors be able to get a jury to believe Durst is guilty in the Berman case, or is he innocent, as DeGuerin says?
