Maybe what I would do, maybe he's different
corina understands aggrieved, can do strange things to people, but that doesn't it
lame. Why, according to divert wagner immediately, came up with a story and told the men on the boat to stick to it,
Robert Wagner was very serious about having the stories being the same. It was, it was colonel
here, we are ok Dennis christopher me. This is what it is. You got it that's what it is
ok. If all the stories of the same there is, there is really not too much to investigate

so many things that are just facts she has since been
one of our J Wagner's harshest critics going so far as the publicly accuse him of foul play. Do you think she was pushed in the water is,
I believe it was her husband, R J Wagner. Absolutely yes, like diverge
hu, as a long bitter history with wagner, has been accused of explore.
Natalie death for money and attention, something
She denies its just time for the truth. It's time to
stop the lies and the deception and finger
went it? It's just not right
do you think, rather wagner's ever told the truth of exactly what happened. I've seen it home soon
The details that match all the other witnesses in this case is changed.
Story a little bit.
Version of events- just don't add up to the evidence in the witnesses we found rabbit wagner, has never conceded that he had a fight with natalie on the boat that night, but in his memoirs he did come clean about smashing that wine bottle the one he originally.
The police broke in rough seas, walk in and I got into an argument at one point I picked up a one
bottle slammed it on the table and broken into pieces.
Natalie was already below decks at that point in wagner
version of the story. He didn't smack
that bottle in a jealous rage as diverse claims, but in an argument with work
and over Natalie career. In fact he says,
She wasn't even in the room
below I saw Natalie was doing something with her hair should go to bed and she shut the door Chris, and I were
talking I, when I went down below she wasn't there that the dingy was gone. I looked around for I couldn't I didn't know where she was
Julie, he told the detective he thought Natalie had taken the dingy and gone ashore, but that
like so many other details has changed.
What is now called. The bang,
Dinghy theory Natalie was the master cabin and heard the dingy banging against the side she got
to retire
she slipped on the swim step on the stern and was either stunned or knocked unconscious and roll
into the water, the loose thing
floated away. My theory fits the few facts. We have. That story is
ever sent false. The dingey really wasn't banging because it was tied off of two lines: securely
the boat. The reality is that what was the other show she went.
As an aside,
If that's not her job. To never go worry about the dinghy she going to tell dennis to Verne, hey Kiko titled dinghy down it's making noise, that's his job.
six years of investigation for new key witnesses.
To determine. Investigators with a lot of questions for Robert Wagner
We ve investigated the case over the last six years. I think he's more of a person of interest now,
We know now that he was the last person to be with natalie before she disappeared,
investigators talk about working this high profile, hollywood mystery online at forty eight hours, dot com for the first time in the more than thirty six years since nellie would drowned off catalina island investigators called her husband, a person of interests.
But they stopped short of calling him a suspect. We have not been able to prove that this was a homicide and we haven't been able to prove that this was an accident either. The ultimate problem is
We don't know how she ended up in the water. The statutes of limbs.
Patients have run out on all crimes except one murder and approve murder
there has to be evidence that someone intentionally put Natalie in the water fallen in by accident wooden count.
People knew that Natalie world was in the water and they didn't save our. They could have saved her and they didn't savour. Would that be enough to bring charges in this case? No. That's not,
believe it or not. There is no duty to act. Believe me. If she had called out or she had
made any noises or if we too heard anything
the three of us. We would have done something nobody heard anything still. Investigators remain travel by the evidence. They do have the witnesses who talk about a fight on the back of the boat and the number and locations of fresh
bruises, on Natalie body. I think I've been a cop long enough to see those appear to be a sort of a nature. Could the bruises have instead come from a drunken fall? Perhaps but investigators thank the circumstantial evidence, the fight, the owl
all the jealousy may suggest. Another scenario someone
if so, enraged
ensure ringer. Is that, like a crime of passion, it just happens and you didn't mean for it to happen.
The later on a sorry about it, but it's too late for his part, Christopher Walken, has remained largely silent through the year.
We have to ask you about knowing what, because, as you know, they re open the case. You were there that night. What do you think happens christopher? Well, you know I stop talking about
that thirty years ago, when there's so much
nation, bergson, ok, internet,
anything you want to know just go. Look. He did
however, interview with a new investigation and look at the border workers were walkin so that, when you told us was in confidence, we for no investigators did tell us the walk and is not a person of interest. Despite several attempts to re enter view, Robert Wagner, including a trip to aspects where wagner lives with his wife actress, gel saint John.
the investigator say the actor has refused this speak with them Ronald wagner. Nor, of course we want to talk to him in his eye the store and try to clarify things. His refused
time and time again to talk to us. One part of Robert Wagner story has never change here:
