Famed Houston private eye negotiating book deal on Robert Durst
Share this story:
Houston Private Investigator Tim Wilson has a thousand stories to tell, but he is negotiating a deal to put one of his most famous investigations on paper.
Wilson has been approached to write a “Tell All” book about his exclusive meetings with Robert Durst, the eccentric millionaire now awaiting trial for a 2000 murder.
The Durst story has been the focus of an HBO Special and recent video of him urinating out in the open in a Houston convenience store has gone viral, but the eccentric Durst has been in the headlines for more than a decade. Durst was put on trial after he killed and then chopped up his neighbor in Galveston. His eventual acquittal has been the subject of hot debate ever since.
Tim Wilson knows details about Robert Durst no one else does. In 2000, he spent weeks talking to the eccentric Houstonian in a Pennsylvania jail cell after Durst was arrested, yet Wilson has been entangled with Durst since then.
In 2015 Durst filed suit against Wilson, angry that the private eye had given an affidavit to prosecutors. Durst claimed the disclosure had caused him great stress, anxiety and embarassment. Wilson has moved to dismiss the lawsuit, but his close encounters with Durst have attracted book publishers.
Wilson is represented by Houston Attorney Geoffrey Berg.
