LOS ANGELES—Robert Durst, the New York real estate heir who was sentenced to life in prison without parole last week for murdering a confidante in Benedict Canyon, was charged in New York with the death of his former wife, Kathie Durst, who vanished in 1982, authorities confirmed Oct. 22.
Durst is accused of second-degree murder in a criminal complaint filed Tuesday by a state police investigator at a court in Lewisboro, New York.
