Robert Durst Was Arrested With a Latex Mask for Apparent Identity Change
Everyone's favorite alleged murderer Robert Durst was reportedly in possession of a latex mask designed to conceal his identity when he was arrested last weekend. TMZ reports that police found the mask in the real estate heir's hotel room along with $42,000 in cash, a loaded handgun, and a small amount of marijuana.
The mask, according to TMZ, fit over Durst's face and neck. The 71-year-old also had a fake Texas ID with the name Everette Ward—the same name he'd registered under in the hotel.
The $42,000—all in hundreds and stuffed inside several envelopes—is just a fraction of the $315,000 in cash Durst had reportedly withdrawn over the previous 35 days; Durst reportedly confessed that a UPS tracking number discovered in the room was going to be used to ship the cash.
TMZ also reports that four of the five chambers from the recovered .38 revolver contained live ammo; the fifth chamber held a shell casing, though it wasn't clear who fired the gun or when it was shot.
