Actually, I think it was in front of the home of a woman who testified in his trial (http://www.khou.com/news/local/crime/stories/khou051220_mh_durst.2659805.html). The guy's completely off his rocker.

Cross-dressing millionaire Robert Durst is back in the Harris County jail for allegedly violating his probation. Durst, who beat the rap on a Galveston murder in 2003, was taken into custody again Tuesday afternoon.

Robert Durst has been in and out of custody since his 2003 arrest on a Galveston murder charge.
Sources told 11News Robert Durst was picked up around noon from his Midtown condo.
A memo obtained from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said a warrant was issued for Durst's arrest after a witness who testified in his trial saw him standing in front of her Galveston home on December 16.
She called police but there was no sign of Durst when officers arrived.
Another person came forward and said they spotted Durst near the woman's home so a warrant was issued.
By being in Galveston, the state says Durst violated the terms of his supervision that restricts his schedule and travel.
The New York real estate heir is supposed to be on mandatory supervision until November of 2006 because of evidence tampering and bail jumping charges that came out of his 2003 murder trial.
Durst was acquitted of murdering his Galveston neighbor during that trial even though he admitted he shot him, cut up his body and tossed it into Galveston Bay.
Defense attornies said he killed Morris Black in self-defense.
Durst was later sent to Pennsylvania to serve time on federal gun charges because of a weapon found in Durst's car after police arrested him for shoplifting in 2001.
At that time, Durst was on the run for failure to appear in court on another murder charge.
After serving time in Pennsylvania, he came back to Harris County to begin serving time here.
With Tuesday's arrest, Durst faces a revocation hearing.
Depending on the outcome, he could be sent to prison, an intermediate sanction facility or be returned to supervision with or without to his release.
Durst is expected to remain in the Harris County jail while he awaits a hearing.
Thanks, I was typing and listening to the TV news at the same time--and thought they said juror, but also heard "witness," so I blew it. My first thread post here, so be gentle, lol. Thanks for the add'l info from KHOU.
Durst was contemplating how to kill the witness. He is a homicidal psychopath who belongs at room temperature.
