Updated, March 16th, 7:30 a.m. PT:

Robert Durst, subject of the HBO docuseries “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst,” confessed to three murders during the finale that aired Sunday.

“There it is. You’re caught,โ€ the real estate heir said. “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.”

Durst was not on camera when he made the admission. Filmmaker Andrew Jarecki said Durst left his microphone on, and was talking to himself in the bathroom. Itโ€™s not clear if Jarecki or anybody else involved in the project confronted Durst about the audio.

Durstโ€™s confession came after he was asked about handwriting similarities in a letter he wrote, and another linked to the death of his friend, Susan Berman, who was shot to death inside her home in the Benedict Canyon area of Los Angeles in 2000.
