Of cards are never ending. But offscreen, robin knows exactly where her strength lies. Revealing how her 34yearold boyfriend keeps her young. But first, the nightline five. Here at friskies its cats who know best what cats like to eat. Up today, friskies 7. Were trying seven flavors all in one dish. Now for the moment of truth. [ purring ] yep, looks like its time to share what our cats love with your cats. New friskies 7. For cats by cats. Its the caught on camera moment raising questions about race on campuses in america. Tonight there are fastmoving developments. Two expulsions possibly more on the way. But there are also people coming to the defense. Reporter the video is just 9 seconds long. The consequences could last a lifetime. There will never, never be a [ bleep ] reporter tonight two frat brothers from Sigma Alpha Epsilon have been expelled after leading a chant that they would rather black people be lynched than join their fraternity. The video went viral. The problem is nobodys pointing out whats going on reporter today university of oklahoma president david boren sent this expulsion letter to two students involved in the video, saying they had created a hostile educational environment for others. Tonight one of the chant leaders is identified as parker rice of dallas. Rices friends tell us hes already home in texas and will not be coming back to ou. I know parker. Hes not a racist. He really is not. He compromised his morality for the liking of his friends. Reporter in a statement, he says alcohol was a factor in his actions and that he is deeply sorry for what he did. He mentions he was taught the offensive song but not by whom. Another student in the video identified by his parents as levi petit. They write, he made a horrible mistake. We know his heart, and he is not a racist. The two expulsions are just the latest fallout from this video. Today moving trucks littering the front of the sae fraternity house. The university banning the group from campus and giving members until midnight to get out. Are you embarrassed . Extremely. Can i say anything else . We have no room for racists and bigots. Reporter the scandal began when the video was texted and spread over social media. Everybody on that bus was singing this chant proudly and confidently. Reporter social media lit up with posts about the incident. At one point the twitter hash tag saehatesme was nationwide. This is only one of two black members of this sae ever says the punishment fits the crime. Ironically, he was once in charge offraternitys songs. I never heard anything like this song. Reporter at least technically, these were your brothers. I dont consider them my brothers. I dont think that they were ever deserving of the letters, because those letters mean something. Reporter still, some on campus are jumping to saes defense, including the fraternitys chef who fines himself out of a job after 14 years. I think its outrageous. Reporter another supporter, the frats house mother who appeared on local news monday night. Had you heard that song before . Never heard it. Never heard it. I thought they made it up or something on the bus. I never heard that sock. Reporter hours later, this video emerged of her, posted two years earlier. [ bleep ]. Reporter shes repeatedly using the nword while singing along to a rap song that used the same slur. She issued a statement saying shes not a racist but understands how it must appear in the context of the events. Sae is one of the largest fraternities in the country, they say they shut down the Oklahoma Chapter within hours of learning about the offensive video. Our reaction was the same as people across the country. This is unacceptable racist and very offensive and inappropriate footage. And it is sad that anybody in Sigma Alpha Epsilon would have thought this was something they should do or a way they should behave, because that is not what this organization is about. Reporter the scandal comes at a sensitive time for greek communities. With Sexual Assault in the spotlight, the Hunting Ground mentions sae by name. When asked by time about the documentary, they said we believe anyone who commits Sexual Assault or other illegal acts should be held accountable and face punishment that is appropriate for those actions. This is not the first time sae has grappled with allegations of racism. This Confederate Flag got them in hot water in several sororityies came under fire for not admitting black women. The university of alabama will not tolerate discrimination of any kind. What happened here is unfortunately endemic in Greek Fraternity life. Fraternities and sororities operate along principles of excluesivity. It expresses itself on racist terms often. As far as im concerned it wont be back. Reporter still some are questioning if expelling the students might be a step too far. While a private university can basically operate the way that it wants to a Public University is restricted by the first amendment. I think what happened to these kids expelling them is a very problematic thing. The racism that they expressed was raw, ugly, as ugly as it gets but those factors dont necessarily make it illegal. Reporter im ryan owens for nightline in norman oklahoma. So, was expelling the frat brothers a fair punishment . Head to our Nightline Facebook page and tell us what you think.

There are new things to report in the longrunning case of robert durst. He is the eccentric new york fortune. Hes only been charged of murder once. He decided to participate in a new documentary, and that could be a game changer. Nobody tells the whole truth. Reporter he is an heir to a billion dollar real estate fortune whos been under a cloud of suspicion for three different murders in three different states over the course of more than 30 years. There are a lot of people out there who think that i killed my wife that i killed susan burrman, that i intentionally murdered morris black. Reporter and now for the first time after years of steadfast silence, robert durst is telling his side of the story. That is a, i would think, if i was as familiar with the media as i am about me. Reporter its a new hbo documentary called the jinx. Its over about 30 years, hes been approached by everybody about telling his story. And he said theres no reason to do it. Reporter durst entrusted his story to him because he had earlier made a feature film called all good things starring ryan gosling. He recently sat down with george stephanopoulos. I think after he saw the film and saw that at least we painting a picture of a human being as opposed to a headline he felt more comfortable. Reporter theres been a public of fascination since his beautiful wife mysteriously vanished in 1982. Very outgoing and social. Got along with people real good. She was perfect. I dont get along with people. Most people dont get along with me. Reporter he was never charged in her disappearance. But allegations of Domestic Abuse fueled rumors that he was involved. Friends said kathleen was afraid of her husband. Oftentimes she would ask me to drive into the city to stay with her at her apartment, because she was in fear. She didnt know what was going to happen next. Towards the end, i mean she had showed me bruises on her arm, that she said that he caused. Reporter but she never filed a complaint against her husband. Did you have anything to do with the death of your wife . I dont know that shes dead. Reporter do you think its possible that shes alive now . Its possible. Not likely. Its not what i think. I think shes almost definitely dead. But i dont know that shes dead. Reporter she was officially declared dead in 2001. The question is, did the Police Suspect him enough . And many of her friends and family members think that they could have and should have been tougher in their investigation of him. Shortly before that in the year 2000 another mysterious death, this time of dursts good friend susan burrman, found murdered in her home in california. I felt terrible for susan. I was astonished that they were putting all this together that i did it or i caused it to be done. Reporter burrman was about to talk to authorities in new york state about what she knew about the disappearance of dursts first wife. The suspicion always was that susan burrman had information about the death of dursts wife and that durst may have killed her to shut her up. Again, durst was never charged. After burrman was killed durst moved to texas, disguising himself as a woman. Then a gruesome discovery. A fisherman in Galveston Bay found a trash bag washed up on the shore. I was shocked to see it was just a torso. No head, no arms. It was a male a clean cut. Reporter later in another bag the arms and legs found. The head still missing. The victim a 71yearold man named morris black, Robert Dursts neighbor. Durst was arrested, but not knowing that he had access to million, the authorities set his bail at 250,000. He was quickly wired the money and then took off. But was your intention when you put up the 250,000 to runaway . Oh, goodbye 250,000. Goodbye jail, im out. Reporter more than a month later he was captured in a small town in pennsylvania. Where he was caught stealing a hoagy sandwich. Reporter at his murder trial he admitted to murdering morris black and dismembering the body but he claims he was in selfdefense. He claimed that the dismemberment was some kind of panic. That he got in a fight. The gun had gone off. We the jury find the defendant not guilty. Reporter he was acquitted of murder in a verdict that shocked the country, but he was sentenced to five years in jail for evidence tampering and jumping bond. The jurors said they didnt really believe his testimony, but somehow they still acquitted him saying they didnt think there was proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Reporter he was paroled in 2005 and lived mostly out of the public eye until he decided to participate in the making of the jinx. You know, i met with bob and his lawyer in new york not long after bob had first contacted me. And his lawyer said i think this is a terrible idea. Youve been wrongly accused of three murders over 30 years. There is nothing that sitting down with a film maker is going to do to improve his life. Reporter recently authorities in los angeles reopened their investigation into the murder of susan burrman in the year 2000. And this past sunday showed the discovery of a potentially blockbuster piece of evidence. Her stepson shows a letter that was sent from durst to susan burrman several months before the murder. The letter appears eerily similar to an anonymous note San Antonio Police the day sent to mission the day she died. It is exactly the same down to the misspelling of beverly. That in itself could be enough to convict him of murder. Did you have anything to do with Susan Bermans death . I had nothing to do with Susan Bermans death. Did you have any theory yourself of what might have happened to susan . No. Reporter abc reached out to robert durst through his attorney, but they have no comment at this time. As for all the renewed interest in the unsolved murders . Well, i think that what the audience will find when they get to the end of this is that theyre not scratching their heads. When they get to the end of six episodes, they will know what happened. And this sunday in the final episode of the jinx, he will confront robert durst with the new evidence.

Lo to demi going younger seems to be a trend these days especially in Robin Wrights circles. Remember she was once married to sean penn. But when it comes to dating younger, it is sean penns ex yes, madonna, she is living for love. But in her real life shes dated plenty of younger men since penn. Madonna expressing herself in this 2012 interview with abc news defending a relationship with a man 28 years younger. If you write down on a piece of paper im not going to have a relationship with a younger man. Thats just what happened. Even this week telling the daily news that older men are not dateable. In an industry of sex and maintaining youth, its not just about botox and diets, apparently you also need to rob the cradle. My wife is only five years younger than me and look how young i look.

My job was to chauffeur and herald convicted murderers and felons throughout midtown manhattan get them their coffee, and try not to be completely terrified while i entertain them. Look, i wou
