The daughter of late reputed mobster David Berman, Susan Berman met Robert Durst when the two were students at UCLA. The pair, who shared the fact that their mothers committed suicide, remained close friends for decades until she was shot execution-style in her home on Dec. 24, 2000. Her death came just as New York investigators, who renewed their interest in Kathie Durst's disappearance, were preparing to interview her about the case.
