Before he allegedly jumped bail on a murder charge in Texas last month, trust-fund millionaire Robert Durst had no shortage of cash, homes and aliases to give prospective landlords.

In Dallas and Galveston, a tricked-out Durst allegedly introduced himself as Dorothy Ciner — a name apparently usurped from a classmate the 58-year-old real estate empire heir knew growing up in Westchester County, N.Y.

In New Orleans, he was Diane Winne to the landlord, James Cordes to the utility company.

Galveston police concede that they do not know who Robert Durst really is, but detectives investigating the late September killing of Durst's 71-year-old neighbor are anxious to learn where he is; they want him back.

"We don't think he's going to be found in Galveston," said Lt. Michael Putnal, who supervised the investigation that led to Durst's arrest October 9 on charges he killed and dismembered neighbor Morris Black. "We're still confident that he is going to be found. We don't think he's left the country and big chunks of his finances have been frozen."

Galveston investigators worked with the FBI after Durst skipped town and his $300,000 bail October 10 to freeze more than $1 million in assets discovered in New Jersey accounts. And just last week, Morris Black's sister went to court in New York to keep Durst and associates from selling any of his holdings before she can press a wrongful death suit.

Kathie Durst

If having the police and New York tabloids after him isn't bad enough, Durst may soon get more uncomfortable. The TV program "America's Most Wanted" is working on a segment about the manhunt and on efforts by New York State Police who have not given up their search for Durst's missing-and-presumed dead wife, Kathie Durst.

"Police have said to us, 'We need to put the 10 million viewers of 'America's Most Wanted' on the case,'" said Avery Mann, publicist for the Fox television network program. "We're going to do that and try to help them out."

"America's Most Wanted" plans to air a 5- or 6-minute segment on the Durst case December 1 at 9 p.m. ET. The relatively long segment is perhaps necessary because of the many tantalizing elements of a story that began with Kathie Durst's disappearance in 1982.

Robert Durst reported his wife missing several days after he says he put her on a Manhattan-bound train from Katonah, N.Y. The couple was in the process of getting a divorce and Kathie Durst's friends have said her husband, the son of the late New York skyscraper builder Seymour Durst, was abusive.

Durst denied the abuse charge but stopped cooperating with New York State Police investigators, who rekindled their investigation last year. They were about to reinterview Los Angeles writer Susan Berman, a longtime close friend and sometimes spokesperon for Robert Durst, when she was found murdered execution-style on Christmas Eve.

Galveston police found a .9mm handgun in Durst's car when he was arrested October 9. Los Angeles police won't say whether ballistic tests matched it to the one that killed Berman, also a .9mm.

Galveston police Det. Cody Casalas will fly to Washington to be there if tips come in from "America's Most Wanted" viewers, which usually happens. Police hope to get Durst back into custody before then, however, and are not sitting back.

Among other things, they are hoping to get more cooperation from New York real estate agency owner, Debrah Charatan. Durst secretely married Charatan, 44, January 11. She used the marriage license and a power-of-attorney form to spring Durst on bail before Galveston police learned that he was not the down-and-out drifter they thought he was.

Charatan has not returned numerous calls from Court TV. Michael Kennedy, a New York lawyer hired by the Durst family trust to represent Robert Durst, declined comment as did a spokesperson for the Durst Organization.

Putnal, the Galveston police lieutenant, thinks Charatan knows more than she has said.

"She provided a lot of information, but at the same time I think she provided information that would not be sufficiently damaging and deliberately left out information about his whereabouts," Putnal said. "I think she knows more than she's willing to tell."
