The Goldfinger Discount

EASTON, Pa. - Let's see if this adds up: You're heir to a Texas real-estate fortune. You're a fugitive suspect in the beheading of a 71-year-old man. You're also wanted for questioning in your first wife's disappearance 19 years ago. So, of course, you're going to steal a bandage, a chicken-salad sub sandwich and a newspaper at a busy supermarket with security cameras everywhere. Why not? Who'd notice?

Only a sharp-eyed supermarket clerk, who last Friday saw Robert Durst snatch a Band-Aid, then lift the sandwich ($5.99 for a chicken-salad sub with roasted peppers). But you can't say two months on the run befuddled his strategic thinking: The Band-Aid was for a cut on his nose, the sandwich was his lunch, and the paper will give him plenty to read in the slammer.
