Woman’s Unsolved 1982 Disappearance Spawns 2003 Leak Investigation


— June 13, 2003

Author-journalist Matthew Birkbeck recently published “A Deadly Secret: The Strange Disappearance of Kathie Durst.” The book includes a lot of details about the investigation that are not publicly known. Now the New York State police have launched an investigation, subpoenas are flying, and New York State Police Investigator Joseph Becerra, who a year ago was working the Durst case — the highest-profile case of his career, has been re-assigned to more mundane matters. CourtTV has the story here via CNN/Law Center.
