LOS ANGELES – Real estate heir Robert Durst was sentenced to life in prison Thursday for the 2000 slaying of his friend in her Benedict Canyon home.

Durst was convicted of killing 55-year-old Susan Berman on Dec. 23, 2000, by shooting her once in the back of the head. Her body was discovered in her home on Christmas Eve.

At trial, prosecutors said Durst murdered his friend because she knew details about what happened to Durst’s wife, Kathie, who disappeared on Jan. 31, 1982, while the couple lived in New York. She has never been found.

Durst was arrested in New Orleans in March 2015 for the murder and brought back to Los Angeles.
