Actress Natalie Wood died from drowning 30 years ago when she was 43 years old on November 29, 1981. She had been drinking with husband Robert Wagner and their friend Christopher Walken on a yacht (who she may or may not have been having an affair with), and at some point fell overboard. The official story was that it was an accident, but there was speculation that she might have thrown herself in the water because she was distraught over a fight with Wagner. Now there is a third possibility: she may have been murdered.
Natalie’s sister Lana Wood and Dennis Davern, Natalie’s yacht captain on that fateful night were pushing for the police to reopen the case last year. November 17, 2011 the L.A.P.D. said homicide investigators will be looking at “additional information” about the drowning.
A press conference will be held today concerning this mysterious case
