Andrew Jarecki Says Robert Durst Audio Tapes Were Turned Over to Police Months Ago

"The truth is we hoped that Robert Durst would be arrested as soon as possible, and we were sort of amazed ourselves that he hadn't be been arrested for so long, but the authorities were never communicating with us other than in their normal cordial way," he said.

"After sitting down with him, we thought we've got this sort of revelation, which is he was unable to determine which of the two handwritings that we were showing him was his own. It wasn't until months later that we had an editor listening to material that we had left behind, thinking, now we have to listen to everything we got. We're about to finish the series and we discovered that we had this shocking piece of audio," he said.

"What's amazing to me is he came to us knowing what he knew about his life. We didn't know that. All we could do is assume that some bad things had happened. We weren't exactly sure what," explained Jarecki.

While so many obviously assumed that Durst was guilty, to actually hear the words fall from his mouth in a moment when no one else was around was absolutely shocking, don't you think? We already know his defense team will try and get the audio tape thrown out because of the way it was obtained. Do you think it will ultimately be admissible as evidence in court?
