The Los Angeles Times reported on Friday night that court papers show accused killer Robert Durst told prosecutors last year that he was high on methamphetamine while being interviewed for a controversial documentary about his life.

"The Jinx," a 2015 HBO miniseries, traced the mysterious disappearance of his wife in New York in 1982, his acquittal on murder charges in the 2001 dismemberment killing of a neighbor in Galveston, and the killing of his friend Susan Berman in Los Angeles in 2000.

In it, he is heard muttering to himself in a bathroom on a live microphone after being presented with incriminating evidence: "There it is. You're caught! What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course."

The latest revelations about the drug use come as Durst awaits trial in Berman's death. He has pleaded not guilty.

According to a California court transcript obtained by the Times, Durst told L.A. prosecutors that while filming "The Jinx" he was "on meth the whole time. And, when I looked at the little pieces of it, I was going like this and like that. And it was – and it should have been obvious."

The New York real estate heir told a prosecutor he cooperated with filmmakers in the documentary because he wanted them to see him as "an acceptable human being," according to court documents released Friday.

Durst, 73, was arrested on the murder charge the day the final installment of the series aired on HBO.
