@@mws755 Agree, and then cranked the music, so he could not monitor the situation. That boat was tiny. I don't think people who do not boat, realise this. They think it's some modern day million dollar yacht or something. Also, that dinghy hitting the side of the boat would bother you if it was next to the window, or just a few feet over at the back, again tiny.

He is trying to make money from his new story in his book. He was the captain who probably should have stayed sober when his passengers were drunk on a boat. It was his job to drive the dingy but he was drunk so Natalie decided to drive it herself while angry and very drunk with drugs in her system, May be he feels a bit guilty.

I’ve watched and read anything and everything about this case for years and years. I have always known in my heart Robert is guilty. He got away with it and now he’s so old it’s really too late.

She was unconscious and couldn’t breathe

[@RoseyTucker]

The only mystery about Natalie Wood's death, is why it has taken more than 42 years to name Robert Wagner as "a person of interest". Clearly he's the only one of the 3 men on board, who had any reason, (even if it's only in his imagination) to kill her. Obviously, it was not first degree murder, but with his habitual jealousy, and too much alcohol, and then an argument that escalated, into his becoming enraged, and brutally striking out in his fury, he just killed her, and he continues to go unpunished. I don't understand the explanation that he refuses to cooperate! With anybody else, you get taken in to the cop shop for questioning, that can go on for many hours. How is it that he's allowed to refuse?

[@brittalbach416]

accusing someone of murder without any evidence is evil

[@cyleeman]

Yes let's charge a 93 year old man with advanced dementia with murder on the bases of being in a heated argument with her. You can't charge someone with murder after 40 plus years with that type of evidence. This is why 12 people on death row In Illinois were sent free when DNA proved them innocent & probably were sent there in the first placed because they looked guilty. This is the problem with the justice system.

[@lorimiller4301]

The word is, from Lana years ago that the reason she divorced him the first time was that she found him with his Butler. Lana figured it out from what she overheard Natalie say about it. I think that explains why she went back. He could easily say it was a one time thing, or that he got therapy and wasn't into that anymore. She loved him and he could very easily love bomb her back into a relationship. He had a way to seduce people, a charm. Someone wrote a comment under a different video years ago and said they were gay and a gay friend of his was in an elevator and Robert came in. There was a woman with the guy but I don't recall why she was there. The part I do remember is he said that this gay friend was propositioned by Robert. He flirted with this guy, who was very attractive, in front of this woman but for whatever reason he turned Wagner down. That part was the unbelievable part lol. He said RJ was super cocky and it just turned him off. He went wherever with this woman, might've been his sister ? But anyways he turned him down even though he felt Robert was very sexual towards him. Robert admitted himself that he dated Barbara Stanwyck and she was a beard for a few different male stars back then. Everyone was on the downlow back then. It wasn't something that women really knew about. Maybe a few did but definitely not the majority. We would never have suspected that RJ was bi. Never. His whole career was about him being a ladiesman. The 80s were wild but it wouldn't have been accepted back then. Heck it would still be controversial today. I fell in love with him at 13 when I saw him on Hart to Hart. I thought that's exactly how I want my man to be. It's sad what happened to Natalie. I bet she really was in love with him and thought she had it all. Then he cut off the girls relationship with their aunt Lana and they suffered from never knowing the truth all this time. Lana got him on tape at the Palm Springs Hotel and wow does he ever sound guilty. Only concern was how it looked. How it effected his family. Cutting Lana off like she wasn't family at all. She's the one who has suffered the most. She lost everything when she lost her sister. The truth will come out when he passes. It always does.

If Natalie had no water in her lungs that would indicate she was dead before she went into the water. The bruises are signs of a struggle. Clearly more went on here than was originally reported. I remember hearing news stories about how she had been drinking and slipped from the dock into the water where she was found later, the story made it sound as if she was near the shore and the dock led up to a residence, this was the visual I came away with at the time. It was confusing but plausible.

She had water in her lungs - but that's not conclusive. In some people, dry drowning occurs, where the larynx seals over and no water gets into the lungs. This occurs in around 7 to 10% of drowning deaths.

Dr Oz, I am so glad you're reviewing this case. Robert Wagner was able to cover up his involvement for years but he needs further investigation before he passes this earth plane. So interesting that he went on to marry Jill St. John three months later. That in itself is highly suspicious. Now that narcissism is becoming more understood, I wonder if RW was attempting to make Natalie out to be the cheater so he would't have to split income with her in a divorce. Her death sure was convenient for him.

I was 17 when Natalie died. I didn’t know much about them and I distinctly remember thinking....she didn’t drown by falling in, she was murdered by her husband. I stand by my original thought because a 17 year old mind is much more clear than an adult. Robert did it.

[@maristella287]

I was 25 and living near Catalina, and had the same thought. It's totally strange! It felt suspicious right from the start!

[@denisevalentemcgee4802]

I felt the same. I knew he did it. I knew of her fear of water. There's no way she would have gone off in the dinghy (which is one version I heard that Wagner said once he admitted they argued that he thought she may have gone off because she was angry....then in another version, that she maybe untied the dinghy because it was making noise. Now why would she do that when she has a guy on board that would do that? It just didn't add up.

This "Captain" was held hostage?! That's insane. I'm disappointed that all of these decades have gone by while Robert Wagner was living it up. Living his life. Now he's an old man and probably doesn't care if he's arrested. He would go to the best prison with the best service. Christopher Walken is a jerk! He knew what happened as well and kept his mouth shut. For what?! This was a grave injustice.

[@ajfoxw]

If Chris Walken was also drunk he may not have heard anything that would help convict Wagner. He walked away as most civilized men would to avoid a fight with Wagner. He probably had no clue that RJ would be so enraged he would hurt Natalie. Wagner must have felt some degree of shame when he faced Natalie's children and sister. I don't understand how Jill St. John ever felt safe around him. He must have been a better actor than most of us ever thought he was.

[@ninavongunten122]

Don't most ship captains carry some kind of self defense weapon on board? Even mace could have stopped the fight on board. At the very least, the captain could have shot a distress flare over the boat in an attempt to get help before things got completely out of hand. In my opinion, he failed his duties of being a captain. He was probably afraid of losing his high-paying job and that is why he stayed on until a year later.

[@dclaet1135]

Both Dennis and Christopher did absolutely nothing to protect Natalie while they heard her screams. Even a nearby boat heard her screams. Maybe they assumed the 'argument' would end and all would be well the next day. When Robert refused to turn on the spotlight or call the coast guard, Dennis became an accomplice to murder, as he should have called the authorities at that point. He got bought off by staying for a year.

[@denisevalentemcgee4802]

I am glad Dennis finally came out with his book several years ago telling what happened and the the podcast interview he did. I don't know if Christopher Walken was afraid of RJ and his connections or what but his silence is hard for me to understand. I hope he finally speaks up.

That would not happen if her husband was innocent! I know his kids... her kids do not want to think the unthinkable... but no one locks a person in a house, threatens them not to speak up, nobody drowns without water in its lungs.
