The Jinx Part Two

The filmmakers persist in probing Robert Durst’s case, revealing previously unseen material and transcribing his prison telephone conversations in detail. They also conduct extensive interviews with witnesses who had not previously spoken, thereby adding fresh perspectives and further depth to the ongoing investigation.

"Why Are You Still Here?" is a programme episode that follows a group of film‑makers as they persist in their probe of the notorious figure Robert Durst. The series centres on their ongoing effort to piece together new insight into his life and alleged crimes, presenting the investigation as a continuous, unfolding process. In this instalment the crew pushes further into the case, uncovering material that had previously been hidden from public view. By sifting through archives and private collections they manage to bring to light documents and footage that had not been seen before, adding fresh layers to the narrative they are constructing around Durst. The investigation also taps into Durst’s own voice, as the makers obtain recordings of his calls made from prison. These telephone conversations are incorporated into the episode, offering a rare glimpse of his own words while he is incarcerated, and serving as a direct link between the subject and the audience. Finally, the team conducts fresh interviews with individuals who had never spoken publicly about the matter. These witnesses, previously reluctant to come forward, share their recollections and observations, providing new testimony that enriches the overall picture of the case. Their contributions, combined with the newly discovered material and prison calls, form the core of the episode’s continuing quest for answers.
