Wagner made alot of mistakes in the cover up of her death. I believe to this day he's taking the truth with him to the grave.

It makes me so angry that he has lived his life instead of being prison where he belongs...i cant stand him...whats the point putting him there now...he is so old and justice will never be done....so sad 😞😞😞

Admits to having a two day fight. Tells the captain not to look for her. Doesn't ring the sister to tell her her sisters is dead. = that sociopath is guilty beyond belief and there are some corrupt cops involved.

Arrest and put on trial all three on that tiny boat, it’s so small they all know what happened.

The bottom line is that when Natalie went missing and the captain asked Wagner to turn on the search lights,WAGNER SAID NO!!ENOUGH SAID.WAGNER GOT AWAY WITH MURDER

What a great sister. A truly awesome soul that deserves answers RJ.

So where is Walken in all of this? He had to have heard something!

If your going to lie Wagner...Remember what you said.....Judge Judy words....Lies creates more lies...Hope Justice is finally served...and Wagner is put into Jail for the Murder of his wife Natalie....She Deserves to Rest in peace.

I heard the fight started because Natalie caught him in bed with Chris , then him and Natalie got in to it , Robert got away with murder , and Christopher to this day has never opened his mouth to defend Natalie , everytime I hear Wagner's name and see him it makes me sick ,Poor Natalie RIP😢🥀💕

It can't be an accident if you refuse to go for help or look for her. The sister was used to establish a false narrative by Wagner. He's a sociopath...

The women I love is missing in the middle of the night. Don't turn on the search light? 🤯

i felt from day one that rj had killed her

Dennis was the captain. That means he had certain responsibilities. Cow-towing to an asshole celebrity is no excuse. That's why people are upset with Dennis and rightly so. Obviously Wagner either pushed her, or she fell and he allowed her to drown. Does it really matter which? He killed her, one way or another. Case closed.

From day one I suspected Robert Wagner. He always struck me as a smarmy narcissist. But love is blind. May your lovely and talented sister rest in eternal peace and know the love and admiration that still flows her way.

what a good sister

I think the music was turned up so no one would hear Nat yelling about there gay relationship and exposing them. They didn't want there secret out.....gay in the 80's......justice for Nat.

I believe Robert killed Natalie,,maybe an accident but he's told different stories..to try and cover it up.He definitely knows what occurred that night.He was jealous of Walken and Natalie.

We'll never know the true circumstances behind Natalie's untimely death, but one needs to keep in mind that statistically, crimes like kidnappings & murders are MOSTLY committed by close family members. Why? Because of strong negative emotions & big EGOS bottled up inside for a long time. Feelings like jealousy, envy and hatred are extremely common between spouses or siblings, especially among movie stars. Oh yeah, looks can be deceiving: R. Wagner may have been handsome with a charming smile, but he ultimately FAILED on the big screen, and thus had to transition to the small screen. In contrast, Natalie, from day one until her death was an extraordinary actress: beautiful, talented, successful and desired by other men.

Robert has some explaining to do, none of which he has done truthfully. NW you r the bomb!

The only person who anyone should side with is Natalie. She was taken away from her family. Her life was stolen from her. RJ needs to comply and answer the questions. If he wasn’t a Hollywood star, he would have been legally compelled to do so already. Natalie deserves the for the truth to finally come out.

I think they were both in on it, why did Christoffer walken speak up at that time, there is something fishy with the two of them RJ& CW.

Robert was having an affair with Jill Saint John and Natalie had found out about it, because after Natalie had died he got married to Jill shortly after Natalie's death. He inherited her fortune after she died, if the cops found out it was murder, then he would have gone to jail and he wouldn't have gotten her money. He didn't want to go through another divorce so I believe that Jill was corrupting Robert's mind and she really wanted Natalie's money because she was jealous of her success. As Christopher Walken he was there to use him as an excuse, alibi and a blame of why Natalie died. That was a plot to get rid of her and to get her money so he could be free enough to marry Jill. I remember when that happened to her and I was told by my family that it was an accident and I got so mad I told them no he killed her. She was afraid of water she would have never gotten on that dingy bye her self and Robert knew that, that's why he told the captain not to go look for her or call the coast guard because he was waiting for her to die. She had drowned because he had beaten her before she was thrown into the water by Robert and he made it look like it was an accidental drowning. He could have made it look like Christopher was involved or he had helped him, or make it look like that he did it. The only thing that he had forgotten about was the captain and when he had found out that he wasn't asleep he told him not to put the spot light on to go look for her, so he probably threatened him and he has gotten away with murdering his wife.

Still ALL these YEARS. GOD BLESS HER AND HER FAMILY.

Lana is absolutely right when she says that Dennis Davern has been unfairly attacked, when Wagner has lied for over 30 years. He's told at least three different versions of what happened that night. One to authorities that morning, another in Gavin Lambert's biography of Natalie, and the other in his autobio. Lana and Davern get trashed, and no one questions Wagner's lies. And guess who's the focus of the investigation? Wagner. Not Davern and not Christopher Walken.

Sincere Condolences! Loved Natalie Wood, too!

I felt sorry for Robert Wagner until I saw his 'performance' at the burial - OTT! He seems to have different versions of the night it happened too. I definitely think he killed her.

Natalie didn't know how to swim.

Most likey what happened was Natalie and Robert who were both partially drunk continued their fighting on deck - she struck him and he struck her back but he struck with greater force and knocked her out and she fell overboard. Robert did nothing after this and she drowned in 30 seconds. Robert`s "do nothing" attitude after this accident pretty much points to a manslaughter charge at least. The police did NOT do their job and failed Natalie the victim in all this.

I think wagner killed her.

I wasn't actually there, but I can say this. Whether or not Robert Wagner killed Natalie Wood is just a matter of legal interpretation, because in the eyes of the law, THERE ARE SEVERAL KINDS OF MURDER. First of all, I firmly believe that Wagner was involved in her death. If he killed her prior to her going into the water, that would be considered Murder One: Premeditated killing. But if she was still alive, that could be considered Murder Two, killing without premeditation. Either way, he was complicit in her illegal death and certainly deserved some kind of punishment for his crime. In any case, with Wagner's vast personal connections and tremendous wealth, it is perfectly clear by now that he will NEVER face the penalty that he so clearly eluded.

Wow this has been going on for so long, we may as well just give up on it. Robert Wagner threw Natalie into the water and told no one to help her when she was screaming for help, but he is so old, he will never be prosecuted. At least we all know what happened.

It's disgusting that just because you're a star and rich, you can get away with anything in this country,..this place is Babylon !!!

WHY would the captain of the boat ask for permission to turn on the lights...and then acquiesce to Robert Wagner's directive? He was the captain of the ship and should follow through with what he knows in this emergency situation...he didn't' need to talk, he needed to take action

I've never felt good about what happened that night.somethings missing.

They need to just throw the whole bunch in jail, until the thruth comes out, or let them rot in jail

Who you know and having money protects you from the law. He will take the truth to his grave.

she so right truth is easy

I have been to Catalina Island and know that a lot of boats park in the Bay. A women tried to go toward her and her husband; from what I understand, Robert Wagner yelled out; leave her; TEACH HER A LESSON". Even drunk, he should have called the Captain and Christifer Walken to help. THAT BOAT WASN'T THAT BIG NOT TO HEAR!! I think no one said much is because they were afraid of Robert Wagner. Two things happened, Christefer Walkin suddenly had his Career boosted and the smart Captain remained alive and was probably paid off long ago. I know Hollywood. I lived and grew up in Santa Monica and Malibu and I know how it is. Not only is Robert Wagner GUILTY of the loss of his wife but by the shear neglect of LEAVING HER was unconscionable by I feel CRIMINAL...... Like I've said before, what these stars do is unbelievable to continue to do Criminal acts all in the justice of maintaining their names. He was a big star and new show, which even I enjoyed on Hart to Hart. But when Natalie was killed, I stopped watching it from that moment on..... yes, he had his children, the marriage was preserved but at what cost. Greatfully, the Captain came out with a Conscience; but Christifer Walken? No conscience YET!!! The loss has been too great to all of us, her PUBLIC. Maybe he didn't take a dagger to her, no wounds were found but how do you push a women into black water(something he knew she was afraid of since childhood) and turn and tell everyone to ignore her and threatened a neighbors boat to not interfere. I guess I have a better conscience and would have jumped in..... I might have been cold but that's nothing to saving her life!! If only her mother had taught her to swim with a floaty like my mother did. I have been heart broken about her loss ever since and OUTRAGED by the shear fact that they think more of their so called images than criminally taking him to Court.....Where is Sherlock Homes when America most needed him. Probably on Downing street smoking his PIPE shaking his head, stating that America who used to come from England can't understand that a "Wrong" can't come right unless they get off their Rumps and do it right!!!! Pretend he's john cue public and get on with it!!!!!

Lana. My brother drowned in an accident when he was 8. Also afraid of water. I have extreme guilt. Was across the st. I could have saved him. Found out too late. Natalie ws my favorite actress. I saw west side story mny times. She was incredibly talented n beautiful. So sorry u lost yur sister. Smething we never gt over

I don't think that Robert Wagner called for help right away. I could be wrong. But, I think there was a delay and Natalie could not swim.

Yes it was like it was swept under the carpet we want justice for beautiful Natalie 💜

I believe those that are stating publicly that Robert Wagner was/is gay or bi-sexual. From that, I think that Natalie W. suspected, had confronted Robert W. about her suspicians but Robet W. denied it. Yet when Robert W. invited a gay actor, Christopher Walken, to be the one guest on the boat that weekend that Natalie then learned (at least in her mind) that Robert W. was gay (perhaps she had found them in bed together.) All 3 had been drinking; Natalie confronted Robert W. and he went into a drunken rage. During the arguing the captain did what he could to preserve the careers of both Natalie & Robert W. by turning up the music on the boat to drown out the arguing so people nearby couldn't hear. To escape all of this, as soon as she could do so Natalie put on warm clothes and tried to get back ashore by getting into the dingy and rowing herself back. I don't think that any of the 3 men realized she had tried to slip away until it was too late to save her. When they realized that she was missing Robert W. didn't want the captain to turn on the boat searchlight since it would have aroused suspicion in people on nearby yachts. They did know, though,, that the dingy was no longer roped to the yacht. If this isn't the case, then I suspect foul play, by Robert W. (& possibly assisted by Christopher W.) but that the captain had no part in the foul play

My gut feeling is Christopher Walken knows what happened but kept silent, either in a pact with Wagner or simply to protect his own career. At that time, women (even famous ones) were still “expendable” in comparison to men and their interests. Hollywood protected Wagner- period.

It sure does look like R. Wagner & his temper/jealousy/anger pushed him to far. Precious, talented, beautiful Natalie Wood perished because of that temper.

Wood family should have sued Wagner in civil court for his 'negligence' when criminal court system failed to take action same as Goldman family (successfully) sued OJ in civil court.

I would just say do a lie detector test the truth will come out if someone request a lie detector test

Who turned up the music? That's very fishy - right there, that there was a reason the music needed to be turned up.

Robert and Christopher were lovers..Natalie found them and got into a rage. Wagner pushed her overboard..He killed her to keep it quiet. Walken to this day refuses to talk about it?? Why?

Lana said Wagner told her "it was an accident you've got to believe me". What an odd thing to say "you've got to believe me". He knows he is lying and is trying to convince her it was an accident. What is that Shakespeare line "me thinks thou does protest to much"? ( I may be saying this wrong). Wagner should have just said "it was an accident".

Natasha needs to visit listen to and talk with her Aunt Lana (Natalie’s baby sister) Get the family story directly from her mother’s side of the family’s history, learn about her heritage her family her life her ups and downs her grandparents, etc. Natasha talk to Lana, your closest living family member, STAND UP DEFEND YOUR MOTHER ...REMEMBER YIUR MOTHER WIULD BE ALIVE TODAY HAD RJ lived Natalie rather than murder her for her money estate insurance kids livelihood ...

when wagner was confronted by the captain in wagners state room how come wagner didn't check with both walken and the captain in their rooms telling them shes missing and why would you not put the big search light on to look for your wife. and why didn't the captain tell wagner I am the captain on this vessel and I am going to turn on the light and scan the waters if you like it or not. this looks like a open and shut case even judge judy can figure this one out

I wouldn’t believe anyone on that boat because they’re alive 👀

How can anyone make comments when they weren't there, The only people who know the truth were the ones involved.

A long time has passed since this was all brought to light again, any more news ? It seems to have gone quiet . Theres definitely been some kind of cover up here , someone knows something , especially Robert Wagner !

No one deserves this type of treatment!

WHY WHY WHY Has thus been left alone???? DISGRACEFUL

he's been in the closet along with many others and should never have gotten married.

I just finished watching her bio movie ...

Lana has been mourning Natalie and fighting to get Justice for her for 40 years. This “captain had a duty to speak the truth when it happened. I don’t know how he sleeps at night. RJ is a piece of work. I don’t care if he’s 90 or whatever. He has refused interviews with law enforcement since this case was reopened what kind of innocent “husband” and father does that. I understand why the girls believe him. His side is the only story they have heard. RJ wouldn’t let Lana see or talk to them. She wrote about it in her first book. My heart goes out to Lana. Wagner and Davern can both rot in hell.

I'm sort of going through what she went through. I have to share it with someone. I have to get the word out.

Robert wagner is going to meet his maker soon, same as cosby. If wagner had admitted from beginning, probably would have gotten manslaughter, been out by now.That poor runner of boat was scared and intimidated, but his conscious. Told him to do right thing, even years later, though would have been better to have reported it then, I do belive natalies death, was from a night of drinking and arguing, it was not deliberate murder, but wagner should have owned up to it.

I hope before too long truth known

Captain of the boat has full authority!! He should have turned the boat around. Put on the flood lights. Woken up chris and forced RJ and Chris to start yelling and searching.. But instead the captain listened to rj and went downstairs and had a drink for 2 hours!!!! Are you kidding me!!!!! Chris..rj and the captain are sitting around drinking for 2 hours before they ring the resturant?? Ohhh come on.

Wagner killed Natalie wood, jealousy is a terrible thing, Wagner has got away with murder, don’t know how he sleeps at night, he allowed her to drowned, he & only he was the witness to Natalies dying, he’s been allowed to grow old,

Just wonder whatever became of the boat.

Natalie will always be missed even today. If only, the biggest two words...waited too long to do the right things. Attitude of "stars" to think nothing would go wrong. Think perhaps something going on like in the past . Will anybody ever know. How come no one bothers Walken about anything? A case of omission, not looking for her right away. Covering up to call the harbor patrol early on.

I think Wagner was so drunk that it’s not clear in. His mind what happened in what sequence

I always thought that Robert Wagner was a sissy pants....Could never see what Natalie say in him....when he was older he did not look like such a sissy...but he was really never a handsome virile man........Loved Natalie always in everything she did....What a beautiful actress.....I would not put it past him to be with another man.....sounds about right.......

They were all drunk. Natalie also had a sleeping pill in her system at the time of her death. The one person we have never herd from is Christopher Walken

Lana Wood an "icon" and a "movie legend?" What starring roles in movies? Up until a few years ago she was living in a motel room with her (now late) daughter and son-in-law. Also, I've heard at least 3 different stories from Wood about how she learned of the death of her sister.

This is what happens when we idolize people, in movies, or the super wealthy. They are just people, not perfect and fame and money does no good. Everyone needs humbling.

I am very amazing why walkers is keeping silence about what happend on that boat in that bad night

She was a Beautiful woman a Robert Wagner I believe was jelious of her a I believe he killed her in a drunken jelious rage a got away w it because he was a big star.

@5:20 people are picking on Denis (the captain) because he is as much guilty as the two other boys who according to allegations, were caught in bed together in the yacht. Denis being complicit to this and the fact that he worshipped RJ and so he obeyed when RJ told him not to switch on the search lights when it is standard procedure to do so at a time when there's a man overboard or missing. He wasn't operating according to regulations but acted as someone's dog. It is also possible that RJ internally wanted Natalie to disappear forever because she caught him and Walken in bed thus finding out their secret. This "getting caught in bed together" event was included as one of the bizarre notes in the log of the coast guard that came initially to investigate the death. But I would go even further that Denis was not only complicit to Natalie's death but was also probably party to the sex between the men. This could be another explanation as to why instead of Natalie couping herself in the captain's cabin after an argument as she usually did according to Denis himself, she went straight to the deck where RJ caught up with her. Also, according to Denis, he lived with RJ in the Wood-Wagner residence after this horrible event, as a sort of "adopted guest" for many years and he stuck with RJ because he was promised some jobs as a film extra or minor movie roles. But these did not materialise. So did that trigger a falling out between him and RJ, eventually claiming that conscience caught up with him compelling him to "speak out"? This is my two cents on the events and I really smell something fishy about Denis resurfacing after so many years.

IV always thought Robert Wagner had something to do with her death. he essentially got away with murder. I also heard that she had gotten sexually assaulted by Kirk Douglas back in the day. Idk if it's true but it's interesting to think about

i alwys heard rj wanted walken and nat got in the way. or walken not want to do the bi thang with em. def too many holes in rj's version... my she was divine. (inside daisy clover....

Lana Wood...so beautiful and talented in your own right!

Plenty O'Toole!

I was living in Los Angeles when all this went down. I was dating an English man whose father was a well known medium. I remember him telling me that his father had done a reading for Wagner or maybe the woman he remarried. He saw that Natalie was having an affair with Walkens, and RJ was extremely jealous. He accidentally killed her during a fight. The two men decided to do what they ended up doing to avoid scandal. I am just seeing this years after this case was re-opened. Actually i am glad that this had come out. It’s actually amazing. The truth has a way of doing that...

Fun fact: Lana Wood has been married six times.

Off topic, who was the woman who knew about the rape and who did it?

Lana Wood, your a stunningly beautiful woman in your own right.Thanks Nancy Grace for this interview.

Wagner should be charged with at least 2nd degree muder. The fact that he wouldn't turn on the searchlight or call for help says all you need to know. Another botched investigation by the LA county DA.

LANA WOOD IS NO LEGEND ARE YOU KIDDIING ME AND NO ICON

What is UP with this volume. We can't hear anything?!

Rj lives in Aspen with his wife of umpty dumpty yrs jill saint clair

Don’t waste any man power trying to solve this, no DNA evidence and no way to convict. Let them solve current missing person or murder cases

The trio let too much time go by from the minute they were aware she was missing before wanting to do a scrap about it. Ships captain is seriously weak, in fact negligent. The gay boy strongly protected. Robert Wagner, a little cold and clever.

Sounds very suspicious re: RJ

Robert Wagner threw her over the side then untied the dingy . From the Captain he was told to search instead of the dingy missing first. Why search below first if the dingy was missing. Search for the dingy first . Wagner got away with murder so his career could continue. Sad . 🇺🇸🤘

Wagner is not going to tell her sister the truth that would put him in prison.And I also found it a little odd that he only waited 1 year to get remarried. And if they was having arguments a day or two before Christopher Walken came a board the yacht why did they invite him makes no sense. The only thing I can think of is that Wagner had this whole thing planned from the beginning. I think it was not so much jealousy but he was having an affair himself. And he decided to take advantage of the situation and get rid of Natalie for his other relationship.🤔

He KILLED her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Theres diffenanly something not right, as natural instincts didn't even kick in to even look for his wife he didn't.look to upset, there hiding something to case should be opened again and who all there be accountable for MURDER.

Nancy, you can do better. Go get Robert Wagner , there are enough findings to suggest he did it. You can get to the bottom of this.

why tell the truth a couple decades later

He was drunk, that's obvious, he calls late at night, tells someone else a stranger to confess to.

Bottom line,....the killer knows & more important, God knows!! We will never know the real truth!

This poor woman needs closure. Sadly the culprit will take the TRUTH to his grave !! Money is the root of all evil... If you have plenty of it ... it seems you can just about buy anything... even silence !!!!

Lana Wood is an icon?

robert davern did'nt push her in thats accepted but he did'nt do what he should have done even though robert wagner had told him not to he should have still turned the search lights on if he had there's a good chance that natalie wood would still be alive because of his failure to act natalie wood drowned maybe he thought just because i switch the search lights does'nt mean i'm going to locate her straight away as she could have easily have been underneath the boat itself and out of sight and daytime was against them i.e when it would have been easier to see her and rescue her it was pitch dark but thats beside the point this was an emergency and a woman was missing yet despite this davern was ignorant but remember saying and doing something are two different things just because you have had an arguement with someone does'nt mean that your going to act on it and push someone overboard and as davern had his music turned up loud how did he know what happened???????????????????as well as that neither could he see what was happening either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
