HOUSTON--Private investigator Bobbie Bacha has spent the last decade and a half consumed by the mystery surrounding the millionaire accused of murder, Robert Durst.

"I keep up with it constantly," said Bacha, who owns Blue Moon Investigations.

She said she's been working for the family of Morris Black, the elderly neighbor of Durst who died in the winter of 2001.

A jury found that the eccentric heir acted in self-defense in the shooting death.

But Bacha claims to have evidence that Durst and Black had known one another for years, and that Black was involved in the disappearance of Durst's first wife Kathleen in 1982.

"Maybe the cleanup crew or having knowledge of what had happened," added Bacha.

And she thinks Black's knowledge led Durst to want to kill him.

"I think he knew he couldn't trust Morris Black any longer with the secret and he killed Morris Black."

Before Durst was arrested at a New Orleans hotel on a murder warrant from California, it appears he was working his phone. Bacha gave KHOU 11 News a call log she said came from a room registered to Everett Ward, the alias Durst had used. It showed numerous calls to Galveston and south Houston.

"There were several calls a day while he was there. It wasn't just a handful."

She suspects someone was helping Durst as he attempted to hide away. And she's also convinced it's not over.

"No telling how many bodies are out there."

Reached by phone, Durst's attorney Dick Deguerin said "Bobbi Bacha has a very fertile imagination."
