The family of Robert Durst's missing wife is calling on prosecutors in New York to bring charges against him after a jury in LA found him guilty of murdering friend Susan Berman to cover up her disappearance and suspected killing. 

In a statement released by their attorneys, the family of Kathleen McCormack Durst, who went missing in 1982, told the Westchester County District Attorney to 'do the right thing,' and prosecute Durst for her disappearance.

On Friday, Durst, 79, was found guilty of murdering mutual friend and confidante Berman in 2000 after she threatened to retract her alibi over Kathie's killing. He faces life in prison without parole at his sentencing scheduled for October 18.

'Not a single day goes by that we do not think about our beautiful, smart, and kind sister, Kathleen. Today, more than ever before, it is clear that she was murdered by Robert Durst in Westchester County, New York on January 31, 1982. The evidence is overwhelming,' the McCormack family said. 

'Although Durst has now been rightly convicted of killing Susan Berman, who helped him conceal the truth about Kathie’s death, the McCormack family is still waiting for justice. Kathie is still waiting for justice.'  

Prosecutors in Los Angeles had said throughout Durst's lengthy murder trial that Berman knew he had killed Kathie, at one point impersonating her to call in sick to the medical school she attended. 

Prosecutors said the call made it appear Kathie was alive after she was last seen by her husband.

She is believed to have suffered domestic violence at Durst's hands, with investigators speculating that he killed his wife after she tried to leave him.

'The justice system in Los Angeles has finally served the Berman family. It is now time for Westchester to do the same for the McCormack family and charge Durst for the murder of his wife, Kathie, which occurred almost forty years ago,' the McCormack family statement continued, according to Law & Crime.

'Westchester DA Rocah has assembled a team of cold case prosecutors and investigators every bit the equal of those in Los Angeles. It is time for Westchester to finally do the right thing.' 

Kathie's brother, Jim McCormack said he was certain the real estate heir had killed his younger sister. 

'The McCormack family wants desperately to have this thing finally brought to at least a charge,' he
