The hearing was scheduled for October 2017 but has been pushed back to April 2018 because of the destruction of some of the homes of the defense team during Hurricane Harvey.

Though Najamy had been calling the police about her friend’s absence for days, she became increasingly concerned when McCormack failed to meet her in downtown New York City even though they’d had plans.

Durst said the reason he’d waited so long to report McCormack missing was that the couple occasionally wet days without contact.

According to the NY Daily News , 4 months before she vanished, McCormack allegedly climbed out a 16th floor penthouse window in her pajamas in order to escape a violent fight with her husband.

Some of the circumstances around the investigation seemed odd to Hughes, including the fact that Durst had refused to take a lie detector test and disposed of his wife’s possessions quickly.
