The Middlebury, Vermont, police released a statement linking Robert Durst to the 1971 disappearance of 18-year-old Middlebury College freshman Lynne Schulze.
“We are aware of the connection between Robert Durst and the disappearance of Lynne Schulze,” Middlebury Police Chief Tom Hanley said in a statement. “We have been aware of this connection for several years and have been working with various outside agencies as we follow this lead.”
Durst owned the All Good Things health food store in Middlebury in the early 1970s, police said.
Schulze was last seen on the afternoon of Dec. 10, 1971, standing across the street from the health food store. She had been seen earlier in the day standing outside Durst's store eating dried prunes, according to the Burlington Free Press.
According to the statement released by police, the Schulze case was reopened in 1992.
“Although technically labeled 'cold,' the case has been continuously generating leads since the investigation was re-opened,” Hanley said in the statement. “We continue to follow up on all leads that we receive in this case.”
Durst was arrested in New Orleans March 14 and charged in the 2000 murder of his best friend, Susan Berman, in Los Angeles. He also faces gun and drug charges. A Louisiana judge ordered him to be held without bail.
