Unexpectedly, after nearly ten years, HBO's crime documentary "New York Disaster" has a second season...
The protagonist of the film is also a "legend", not only is he super rich, but the most important thing is that he is surrounded by three unsolved cases that have not yet been solved.
With its unique narrative and in-depth investigation, the documentary series unravels the multiple mysteries behind Robert Duster, a New York real estate mogul.
From his early family life to the suspicions of murdering his wife, friends, and neighbors, every episode is chilling...
The best thing is that the victims, suspects, lawyers, police, judges...
They are all real people, not actors or stand-ins.
Coupled with top-notch editing and soundtrack, this documentary is even more enjoyable than the average American drama...
Robert Daxter, an heir born into a real estate empire, grew up living under an aura of wealth, but his life trajectory is a labyrinth of mysteries, secrets, and death.
On a fine afternoon in 1973, Robert and Katherine McCormack entered the palace of marriage.
To outsiders, they are the perfect couple.
However, behind this marriage, there is Robert's indifference and cruelty...
It wasn't until 1982 that Catherine mysteriously disappeared.
The police investigated Robert, but due to insufficient evidence, he was left to go unpunished...
The second mystery occurred in 2000 when Robert's friend and writer Susan Berman was found dead in her Los Angeles home.
Susan is a close friend of Robert's, and she knows all his secrets.
The police suspect that Susan may have been killed because she knew the inside story of Catherine's disappearance...
To escape the constant media attention and public eye, Robert moved to Texas, where his life seemed to rediscover tranquility until the body of his neighbor, Maurice Black, was found...
The reason was just an ordinary quarrel, and Robert shot Morris.
Although Robert claimed to be in self-defense, his attempt to dismember the body afterwards made it unconvincing.
But I don't know if Robert is really innocent, or if the family forces helped him cover everything up, and the police have never found enough evidence to convict him.
Again and again he was prosecuted on suspicion, and again and again he was released after being defended by prominent lawyers.
But something dramatic happened, and in the 2015 HBO documentary New York Disaster, Robert was recorded saying something that could have meant a confession before he took off the microphone after the interview: "Of course... I killed them. ”
This confession was creepy and not only shocked the audience, but also restarted Robert's murder investigation again...
After that, Robert was re-arrested on suspicion of murder.
In 2021, he was convicted of the murder of his friend Susan Berman in 2000 and sentenced to life in prison!
But the funniest thing is that the interview in the whole documentary was actually requested by Robert himself...
And the second season of "New York Disaster," which returns this month, is about what happened after the first season of the documentary.
That is, the process of his arrest and conviction...
This is really in response to that sentence, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, not that they will not be rewarded, but the time has not yet come!
