Natalie Wood case reopens

Conspiracy Theory yes, but I never belived Wagner, he married an actress right after this whose husband died mysteriously.Published November 18, 2011

| FoxNews.com


A yacht captain said Friday that he lied to authorities about Natalie Wood's mysterious death, and blames the late actress' husband, Robert Wagner, for her drowning off the coast of Southern California.

Thirty years after her drowning was ruled an accident, a homicide investigation has been opened in the death of the Oscar-nominated actress.


Book Triggers Reopening of Natalie Wood Case as a Homicide Investigation, Report Says
Natalie Wood's Sister: Robert Wagner Withheld Information at Time of Drowning
Wood drowned after spending several hours drinking on Catalina Island and a yacht with husband Robert Wagner, fellow actor Christopher Walken and the ship's captain, Dennis Davern.

Davern told NBC TV's "Today" show on Friday that he made mistakes by not telling the truth about events leading to her death, and urged Los Angeles County sheriff's homicide investigators to reopen the case.

"Was the fight between Natalie Wood and her husband Robert Wagner what ultimately led to her death?" morning show host David Gregory asked.

"Yes," Davern replied.

"How so?"

"Like I said, that's going to be up to the investigators to decide," Davern said.

Davern said he believes Wagner intentionally kept the investigation into Wood's death low profile, and didn't do everything he could have done. When Gregory pressed Davern for supporting details, the captain said that was the duty of investigators.

Wagner's rep Alan Nierob released a statement on the matter: "Although no one in the Wagner family has heard from the LA County Sheriff's department about this matter, they fully support the efforts of the LA County Sheriff's Dept. and trust they will evaluate whether any new information relating to the death of Natalie Wood Wagner is valid, and that it comes from a credible source or sources other than those simply trying to profit from the 30 year anniversary of her tragic death,"

Yeah. My money is on Robert Wagner.

Robert Wagner, Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood on a boat—drinking heavily. That was never going to end well.

30 years? Nothing is going to help this investigation.

Not even more cowbell.

The LA Times published a lot softer version of that story not leaning on RW so hard. At the time it seem way suspicious to me that the coroner decided it was an accident. Since when is the coroner jury and judge?

I think the coroner can say what probably didn't happen. He said Wood had bruises on one knee/leg and alcohol content of .014. IOW, for a tiny lady, she was dead drunk.

Well, he got the dead part right.

Wagner will be 82 in February.

He'll die of natural causes before this goes anywhere.

I was thinking he married Stehanie Powers after William Holden died but I guess not.

Can the Captain be prosecuted for his role in misleading the investors 30 years ago?

The captain's book was published in '09. He says all the details that he is willing to cite are in that book. Why is this coming into light now?

I guess the Today Show writers are digging for stories. Must be a dearth.

Yes. But he's undoubtably made a deal w/ them preventing this.

Alcoholics and boats don't mix well. At the end of the day, it was an accident. He did not mean to kill his wife. There might be some negligent homicide or 3rd degree something involved, though.

A lot of spouses go for sunset boat rides in Florida. Often only one comes back.

Stef Powers was never married to Holden...they were buds who loved Africa.

I believe it was some kind of accident..the full story of which has not been told. There might even be some contibutory behaviorial factors.

NAW...not this time. RJ & Wood had been married before and this was their 2ND jump over the martial broom. They had already established a path to get away from each other if need be..

Natlie Wood was a very pretty lady.

After 30 years the case gets reopened?? I don't get it. The work load in LA county must be light.
