Arrest Made In Murder Of Susan Berman Who Wrote Two Books On Las Vegas

It was announced this morning (3/15/2015) that Robert Durst was arrested last night in New Orleans on a California Warrant for his arrest for the Murder of Susan Berman, a long-time friend. Durst is the subject of the 2015 HBO Documentary called "The Jinx: The Life And Deaths Of Robert Durst."

Ms. Berman wrote two books about her life in (as well as the history of) Las Vegas including one "Lady Las Vegas: The Inside Story Behind America's Neon Oasis" (1996) which accompanied a two part 4 hour documentary named "Lady Las Vegas: Gamble On The Desert" and "Lady Las Vegas: House Of Cards" which aired on Arts & Entertainment Television.

Her father was a major mafia figure in Las Vegas who was one of the people who took over The Flamingo after the murder of Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel.

Thanks for sharing -- this is an interesting piece of Las Vegas history.

You're very welcome! And I have now found this 4 Hour Show (actually it's 200 Minutes without commercials) that I mentioned in my other posting in this thread is still available for sale in DVD format (2 DVDs) on Amazon.com and they have the show being called "The Real Las Vegas - The Complete Story." Maybe it's available online somewhere (I do think that there is about a 13 minute clip of it on Youtube, so you can check that out as well).

The clip of the show that I previously mentioned on Youtube is called "The (First 10 Minutes Or So of) Real Las Vegas" and it includes a clip of Susan Berman at about the 10 minute point -- the video is actually over 13 minutes. The clip also had a photo of Susan Berman's father (David Berman) shown twice.
