I only watched the the second last part of the documentary where they may have found evidence that directly linked him to the Berman crime scene. Handwriting and spelling on a discovered envelope found by her stepson in her possessions were similar as that sent to the police leading them to the body. He then called the documentary makers and I believe the last episode was investigating this piece of evidence. Some of reported last words from Durst in the documentary are chilling.

On March 8, HBO aired the fifth and penultimate episode of “The Jinx,” which included a previously uncovered piece of evidence. On the eve of the finale, Durst was arrested in New Orleans in connection to the murder of his friend, Susan Berman, a little more than 14 years ago. Sunday night, the final episode aired. In its closing minutes, Durst says, “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.”

It seems like there may be several bad people in this story based on how the documentary is put together. The documentary seemingly suggests that Berman helped Durst hide/dispose the body of his wife. Her family had mob ties and she turned into his confidante as she handled the PR after his wifes disappearance. She was killed days before being visited by investigators. And Durst's current wife seems to be covering for him or is willfully ignorant.
The judge who presided over his trial of the death of the neighbour is happy. She doesn't believe justice was served and his acquittal was due to a shockingly bad prosecution team. Her assessment of the crime suggests a cold, calculating, and experienced serial killer.
