Natalie Wood's suspicious Death

So many mysteries to ponder. I remember a co-worker was immediately convinced Robert Wagner was to blame. I've watched programs on this but really have not come to any real opinion.

And another great addition to this forum!

Thank you for adding it, Sas. :)

I think the same as I do with all cases that went cold so many years ago, the more time that goes by, the less chance of solving.

Have to read up on this case again, and in the meantime I'm hoping a few others weigh-in on it.

I agree money talks again as in the Beaumont children. Why do they say be positive? Police keeping the city safe, really...what a clever racket.....theres money in it yes.

Robert Wagner should be charged with something (involuntary manslaughter)? because he waited several hours before calling for help, even poured more drinks, and the captain was stunned, didn't know what to do. He wanted to put on the search light but Wagner wouldn't let him, didn't want to attract attention. Wagner was wasted and made very bad decisions.

Agree like murder

I agree with you Gaer. The captain said he heard Natalie and Robert arguing right before anything happened. The Autopsy also showed many bruise marks on Natalie's body. I guess we'll never really know what happened. Robert Wagner is 80yrs old now.

RW is 90 or 91, not 80. How can it be solved? By confession? No doubt the statute of limitations has long passed for any charge except murder, and that's not provable. No court will accept a guilty plea for murder in this case.

Guilty bruises
 
We will never know at this point.

One thing that I don’t believe has been discussed here was the possibility that her going overboard was an accident. They were drinking and it’s quite possible that she just slipped and went over the side.

If she did, and it’s certainly possible given her drinking, then the real question is what happened after. Did Wagner, inebriated himself, just freeze in shocked drunkenness before taking action to try and save her? Or was he sober enough to realize, after she’d fallen in, there was an opportunity he could take to be rid of her, and so he did?

All that speaks to intent, and would dictate the charge. Murder or manslaughter. What’s lacking is proof of either.

At this point, only a deathbed confession will shed more light on the incident.
 
My opinion, after researching the incident, is that it was a terrible accident exacerbated by alcohol and drugs. If they hadn't all been drunk, she wouldn't have drowned IMHO......

If it had been an accident someone could have said something. Natalie has been at rest all these years, If someone is culpable for her death, they have carried this around in their chest for over 40 years.

And who doesn’t want to attract attention if their spouse is in serious life & death condition unless they either have something to hide and / or don’t want to save their life.

Also, what a stupid idea this was to begin with. Who goes for a boat ride with their husband and ex lover when they can’t swim and everyone is intoxicated ? That’s crazy!

Simply waiting to report a death can not in any legal way fall under a Manslaughter charge.
