Was Natalie Wood murdered 30 years ago?

[strollingbones]

They were fighting and all of a sudden the fighting stopped

A nearby boat heard a woman screaming for help. Best explanation is Wagner pushed her overboard and would not let her back on the boat

no its not....that is just too weird....

Woman Claims She Heard Natalie Wood

 

[editec]

Wagner has been claiming for decades that he did not believe Natalie died accidently.

She was, according to him, deathly afraid of the water, and would never have come even close to the rails to fall over the side by accident.

Wonder if we'll ever know what happened.
They were married for the second time on that boat.

why would walken not help her...that is a bizarre ass theory there rw......

here is mine....she was drinking....she was flirting with walken.....wagner gets pissed ...now you must remember this was 30 years ago...wood and wagner are more old school in the realm of hollywood while walken is a new breed with new ideas...for some reason wood gets really pissed and attempts to leave..wagner claims she had used the dingy before and returned to shore....but wood was not a swimmer...she had on jammies and a down type jacket...so perhaps she dressed to go to shore....then she slips and falls into the water...she begins to scream for help....no one inside the boat hears her....that could be very possible...sound travels on water but not inside a cabin ship
(i have no fucking clue what happens inside a cabin ship but i am making this up on the fly)
walken could have been passed out cold....he said he retired early....wagner could have just been pissed ....let her scream a few times...he is drunk too....and then goes to get her and realizes he let her scream a few times too many...and the cover up begins

Wow!!! You're good.

Everyone should know that there is no statute of limitations on murder and it is the duty of police officers to re-open a case if credible evidence calls for it. The pilot of the yacht anchored off Catalina Is with Natlie Wood and her husband RJ Wagner and Chris Walkin claims he lied 30 years ago about the details of Natalie Wood's death which was ruled an accidental drowning at the time. It must be serious because it seems Walkin has hired an attorney.

And you, sir, you need to get the NAMES straight.

It's Christopher WALKEN, not Walkin. And the perp is known as Robert, not RJ.

with that said, although I'm a fan of Wagner, something seems fishy about this story. I don't think he's so innocent. Gut feeling.

In answer to the OP..yes. I think Wagner killed her and tossed her overboard. I think Walken was passed out and heard nothing but went along with whatever the captain and Wagner said.

Wagner is another OJ Simpson in my opinion.

Wagner's gone by RJ for years. He's billed as Robert Wagner, but his full name is Robert John Wagner, thus the RJ.

I think it all went down the way the papers reported it. She was dead ( no pun intended ) drunk and made irrational decisions. She drowned as the result of too much anger and alcohol. That is my opinion though not a conviction.

If that is the case he's a BOLD perp given that HE has continuously complained that he did NOT believe her death was accidental, don't you think?

A lot of stuff doesn't make sense unless you consider that they were all so drunk that they were unable to function. Walkin said he slept through it all. The pop-medical examiner to the stars made up a scenario that fit Wagner's story.

That could very well be. But keep in mind it was the early 80s when lots of Hollyweird clowns were snortin' or shootin or swallowing all sorts of stuff along with their booze and I'd bet dollars to donuts those two studs and the sizzling Ms. Wood knew all about such activity. And it seems to me a 26 mile cruise to a marina slip on Catalina is a custom made occasion to remember to pack such goodies IMO.

This thread should be in the CT forum. Nothing to do with Media.

Some people don't seem to know what the word "Media" means...
