The only thing you need to know is that he didn't want the lights turned on, or any search of the water done immediately after the disappearance. That tells you everything.

[@guadalupecorchado5461]

Totally agree. As he invited Walen, he had his coart perfectly planned The long argument to justify his jealousy and make everyone think Natalie was cheating on him. See how he spoke. Telling he loved her and both loved each other. Then he said he realized that everything changes in a minute. Shame on him as he did not call for her. Or even jump into the water to find her desperately. Now he doesn't show any tear, shock or feeling miserably for losing Natalie. No one acts as cold as him. We don't trust Wagner. It took him long. He justified the argue and made Nataly the guilty. Why he invited walker? Easy. To have the tremendous argue and push Natalie into the water. He is cold in his comments. As a sociopath behavior. He caught up with. Hypocrict. We had all and in a sudden I had nothing. His words. But never shared a tear if felt guilty for not getting hel or himself swim and looked for her. He knew the bad weather. He did not lise any detail.

[@joejones9520]

@@60misst the stories are extremely confusing and conflicting but the main truth Ive gleaned about Walken is that he definitely was awake and present when it was announced by either Wagner or Davern that Natalie was missing. After that he may have gone to bed, he may have stayed up drinking, it's not clear but nothing has led me to believe he did not know she was missing early on, an hr/hrs before it was reported and before she was found.

[@kimcornelissen1529]

the most suspicious is the fact they waited three hours before calling the life guard. Even if you believed she went in the dinghy you know the waters are rough a normal person would call the coast guard as soon as you saw that both Natalie and the dingy were missing.

The fact that both Wagner and Walken immediately left the place in a chopper, not even willing to identify and escort the body, displays their cowardice. Both did not love her, both only used her for their ego.

That's one assumption. It's also possible Wagner was deeply traumatised and needed to withdraw and Walken helped him, people react differently to shock you're being very judgy without knowing anything.

Jealousy, anger, and rage can cause even the most circumspect person to sublimate that love in the moment, and cause them to act inappropriately. Add sufficient quantities of alcohol to the mix and it's easier to step over that precipice. However Natalie's death was caused, it's tragic--and worst of all: preventable.

[@VintageLPs]

How could Wagner not call for help immediately upon realizing Natalie was missing? How did he just leave the body of the wife he claimed to love who had just drown and fly home leaving the boat caretaker to identify her? That is so reprehensible I cannot fathom it. I sat holding the hand of my husband who had been in a coma for 8 days, when they removed his respirator. I asked to stay alone with him in his hospital room until he took his last breath two hours later. I accompanied his body downstairs to the hospital morgue. The next day at the mortuary I was asked to identify him and I spent another 20 minutes alone with him without hesitation. My closest friend was with me and could have done it for me but that was my husband and companion for 45 years and I went by myself glad to have more time to say goodbye. Never in a million years would I have flown back home and left someone else to do any of this. That is cowardly at the very least.

I was a teenager in Marina Del Rey when this happened. My dad knew Robert Wagner, and I must say Robert Wagner was absolutely an extremely charming man (a red flag to me). He had a lot of power in the entire area. Everyone in the Marina also knew Dennis Davern, and what I do remember is that after he talked to the tabloids he was persona non grata in the Marina. It felt to me like he was frozen out of the boating community to the point he probably just had to leave. I think most people at the time sided with Robert Wagner and believed him. I thought it was very suspicious. I couldn't believe that Natalie would have gotten in the dingy to go to shore no matter how angry she might have been - especially on the far side of Catalina. Catalina is pretty remote, and the far side of Catalina is much rougher than Avalon harbor, where they had been the night before. I was around boats all the time and it would have scared me, especially on a November night - and I'm not afraid of the water at all.

Wagner is 92 now, and highly unlikely to face justice - in this world anyway. But I absolutely believe some very ugly karma is coming for him. He has a haunted look in his eyes since she died.

Robert Wagner definitely had something to do with Natalie Wood's death. It was not accidental. Wood's intense fear of the water makes all possible theories of an accidental drowning unlikely. Wagner's immediate action to corroborate all stories points to a cover up. Wagner's lying about having had a fight with Wood shows deception. I think Walken and the captain felt extremely pressured by Wagner to go along with one story. Kudos to the captain for eventually speaking out despite his making a profit from telling the truth. Walken seems like he just wanted to avoid getting involved. Walken likely witnessed the fighting between Wagner & Wood but he probably did not see how Wood actually ended up in the water so decided to stay out of it. Shame that Wagner was never held accountable. Fact that Wagner refuses to speak with investigators now speaks volumes.

Also, Wagner didn’t go identify her body; the Boat Captain did. His account made sense, and was partially corroborated when the two witnesses came forward many years later and they placed/saw both Wagner and Wood on the back of the boat, just as the Captain said…and then it went silent. Their fighting stopped abruptly. And given that earlier, she ask the Captain to take her over to Avalon, why in the world would she go there alone, late at night, and had been drinking? That was a stupid fabrication on Wagner’s part. He’s guilty as sin.

[@glamdolly30]

@@bliss4383 100% right, Robert Wagner's version of events on the boat that night simply isn't credible, and his conduct since his wife's death - including refusing to submit to police interviews - strongly suggests guilt. I think after 9 years Natalie was heartily sick of Wagner's controlling ways and jealous rages like embarrassing her in front of her co-star, Oscar-winner Christopher Walken. I believe she had made comments to RJ about divorce, and he wasn't going to let her leave the marriage alive. It's the classic 'If I can't have you, no one else can'. Poor Natalie made the mistake so many abuse victims make, she didn't get herself away to a safe location before leaving/threatening to leave him. He was then able to stop her rejecting him, by inflicting the cruellest death imaginable on her. The bruises on her face and body tell an ugly story. How he could push her into the sea at night, knowing how terrified of dark water she was, abandon her to her lonely fate and sit drinking whisky for over an hour before raising the alarm, I do not know. Robert Wagner doesn't have a heart - he has a swinging brick! It's sickening he got away with killing his wife, just because he's a celebrity.

[@glamdolly30]

@@Lizzie-ve7kt Wow, that really is sad - and chilling. That philosophy wound up costing her her life. I never trusted Robert Wagner, something cruel and ruthless behind his eyes. I think sadly life had taught Natalie to expect abuse from males. They were tough times for women. When Natalie was 16, she suffered a brutal prolonged rape by Kirk Douglas. He'd lured her to a hotel suite at the Chateau Marmont LA with talk of an audition for a movie role. She emerged hours later, and got into her Mom's car in silence, bloody, bruised and shaking. It was the Summer of 1955, and there was no question of reporting the vicious rape. Kirk Douglas was a world famous movie star and director at the height of his powers, with his own movie production company. Publicly accusing such a powerful man would have ended Natalie's career, not his.

There’s no way she went out there on her own. Years ago, I remember watch Turner Classic Movies and they had a sweet tribute to Natalie Wood narrated by Robert Redford and it spoke of their friendship and working together on set. He said something that always stood out to me and that was how he had no clue about Natalie’s deep seated fear of water when he and her were goofing off on the set of Inside Daisy Clover, and he jokingly picked her up and jumped into the water with her and he said she had such a visceral reaction that he had never seen from her before. He had no clue about her fear until that point and said that he never forgot the look of sheer terror on her face. That story is why I will never believe that she went out by herself. I can imagine that they had an argument and Wagner pretended to be calm, lured her out of the cabin by asking her to hold a flashlight or lantern up for him so that he could see well enough to secure the dingy better and that’s when he made his move. I think that would explain why she had put a coat on as she had intended to go outside the cabin, only she hadn’t been going out there to get the dingy and she hadn’t gone alone-at least that’s my theory. I always get chills hearing about the passing boat passengers who claim they heard a man mockingly saying “Oh hold on, we’re coming to get you.” I definitely think it was Wagner and he had lured Natalie to bring the light closer to him while he was trying to tie the dingy but in reality was untying it from the boat and then he either pretended to slip or trip and grab onto her arm (which could explain the bruising) before throwing her overboard, he could’ve done this so that if she survived or anyone came to help he could claim it was simply an accident and his clumsiness was the result of a night of drinking. I think the fact that he waited so long to call the police is extremely damning, I bet he waited so long to give the dingy enough time to float away from the boat so that he could claim she just disappeared and that the injuries on her body could be more easily explained away by struggling in the open water.

That is the best theory and insight I’ve heard. I believe you are 100% correct. You would make a great detective!

[@Maetaaaaaa]

That’s exactly what I was thinking !

[@sandramndelson3114]

Excellent theory! It was premeditated, he lured Natalie out to help him tie up the dingy and then made his move. Never wanting lights or a search team shows his guilt.

Best theory I have ever heard and seems on point.
