arrest, the FBI encouraged such localities to reexamine cold cases. Texas private investigator Bobbi Bacha has also traced Durst operating under stolen identities in Texas, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Virginia. Personal life On December 11, 2000, shortly before the Berman killing, Durst married Debrah Lee Charatan. According to The New York Times, the couple had briefly shared a Fifth Avenue apartment in 1990, but "have never lived together as husband and wife." Durst once told his sister Wendy that it was "a marriage of convenience"; "I wanted Debbie to be able to receive my inheritance, and I intended to kill myself," Durst said in a 2005 deposition. When arrested for the Black killing in 2001, Charatan wired Durst the $250,000 bail the court required. She also visited Durst in jail and spoke with him on the phone on a regular basis, discussing his legal strategy and other personal and business issues. Following the Black trial, Charatan reportedly distanced herself from Durst and his affairs, legal and otherwise. In particular, Charatan specifically told Durst not to get involved with The Jinx, to which he disagreed at the time. Charatan's friends said that, after Durst's arrest in 2015, she had not spoken with him since the documentary had begun airing in February. In spite of still being married to Durst, Charatan was reported to be living with Stephen I. Holm in 2015. Holm was a real estate attorney in the New York City area, and public records show Holm handled transactions for both Durst and Charatan. It was reported in Real Estate Weekly that Holm died on October 17, 2019, and that Charatan was his wife. After years of being referred to as Holm's wife in public, Charatan was called Holm's wife at his funeral, in his obituary online, and in the obituary in The New York Times. Shortly after, Charatan sent the Times a letter saying she and Holm were not married and asked them to print a retraction. Charatan and Holm were involved with several philanthropic ventures together. Shortly after Durst was convicted of murdering Susan Berman in September 2021, a lawyer for the family of Kathleen McCormack sent Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. a letter claiming the marriage between Durst and Charatan was a sham solely to aid and abet Durst's financial crimes and murders, and to conceal those acts and frustrate investigation
