I want to start with 37 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: Lana Wood Lanta, A lot of people don't realize, and 38 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: having prosecuted felony crimes for ten years and working at 39 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: the batter Women's Center at night for nine years, I 40 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: sometimes feel like I've seen too much regarding battered women, 41 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: but I feel like it has never been analyzed as 42 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 1: it relates to your sister, Natalie. Lanna, can you describe 43 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: the relationship Natalie had with Robert Wagner? Starting at the beginning, Natalie, 44 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: Natalie was really living her fantasy of being married to 45 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: late a handsome movie star. Natalie fortunately or unfortunately, really 46 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: was living her dream, but her dream wasn't exactly what 47 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: she thought it would be. Their relationship was very difficult 48 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: at times, very disturbing to Natalie, extremely disappointing, and I 49 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: used the word extremely because it isn't like little things 50 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: that disappointed her. Also just as a momentary asside to 51 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: let everyone know what Natalie was like is Natalie was very, 52 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: very concerned with showing her fans and the world that 53 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: she was Natalie would she never let that down. Ever, 54 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: she would not show frailties. She would not She felt 55 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: she had a certain role to play when she stepped 56 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: out of her house, and she was very, very concerned 57 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: with keeping other things private because it didn't match up 58 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: with what she wanted the world to see. Um. Their 59 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: relationship was a difficult one. UM, and it's so complicated. 60 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: I don't really know how easily I can even describe 61 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: it simply because it was it wasn't just a young 62 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: girl falling in love. It was playing another role. It 63 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: was it was another role for Natalie as well, and 64 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: that's what she knew, and that's what that's what she'd 65 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: done all her life. And that's also why she had 66 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: been in therapy for many, many, many years and continue 67 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: this is trying to break away from the pretense of 68 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: the fantasy and face the reality. Not easy. You know. 69 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: That's really interesting, guys. I'm speaking with Natalie Wood's sister Lana, 70 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: who I now consider to be a personal friend. Over 71 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: the years, we have analyzed this case so many times. 72 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: And it pains me to say over the years because 73 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 1: not that I regret knowing Lanna for this amount of time, 74 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: but that justice has never been obtained for Natalie Wood 75 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: over all these years. The author of Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendor, 76 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: which is the name of Natalie's yacht, Marty ruly is 77 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: with me. You can find her or her name rue 78 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: Lli on Amazon. Marty, I'd like to hear your reaction 79 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: to what Lanna has just said about her sister's real 80 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: relationship with Robert Wagner. Well, it's so true that Robert 81 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: Wagner and Natalie Wood were such a public relationship. The 82 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: world had eyes on them and Natalie. My friend Dennis 83 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: de Verne, who worked as their skipper on the boat, 84 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: he saw them in the most intimate weekends of their 85 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: lives when they got away from the hustle and bustle 86 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: and took their trips to Catalina Island and Dennis so 87 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: he saw the pleasure part of their life. He had 88 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: never really seen anything like what happened the weekend Natalie 89 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: died beforehand. But he also spent a lot of private 90 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: time with Natalie in the wheelhouse because she didn't like 91 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: the water activities. So Natalie, she was in therapy, and 92 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: she told Dennis a lot about her therapy. They confided 93 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: in each other, and she did explain that there were 94 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: things about her nationship because it was so public that 95 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: made it more difficult. So I totally understand what Lana 96 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: is saying and the one thing, and Natalie didn't want 97 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: the public to see the problems in her marriage. They 98 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: were so popular, they were the king and Queen of 99 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: Hollywood at that time. So Natalie not only had to 100 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: hide certain things, she lived with the fear of the 101 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: public finding out that everything wasn't perfect. In you know, 102 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: the perverbial Lala Land and the night that Natalie died, 103 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: A lot of women are assaulted, and you know, my 104 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: advices get out the first time, because it usually doesn't 105 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: get better, it gets worse. And Natalie, I don't know 106 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: what may have happened to be in in privacy in 107 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: their relationship, but I do know what happened that night. 108 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: So not only was Natalie the very night that she 109 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: died physically assaulted, as her autopsy report shows Bruce's all 110 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: over her body, it's the emotional aspect of it too. 111 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: She was so angered that night because Robert Wagner had 112 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: smashed a wine bottle in front of the face of 113 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: her costar, who she was trying to impress in a 114 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: family way, taking him on a family cruise with her husband, 115 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: And here she was totally embarrassed. She was angry. The 116 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: emotional aspect of it. By the time Robert Wagner got 117 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: to their stateroom and the horrible fighting started, the physical 118 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: part of it, Natalie was experiencing emotions that go along 119 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: with this horrible thing. And then when he's probably started 120 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: abusing her, there was the shock of that. If it 121 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: wasn't a constant thing in their relationship. I mean, this 122 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: was a bad fight. It probably got worse. Take a listen, 123 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: do what a witness tells our friend, doctor Phil. Have 124 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: you replayed this in your mind? Are you mad at 125 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: yourself that you didn't do something different? Well, I actually, 126 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: I actually don't think. I think she was dead when 127 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: she hit the water. She was unconscious, you know what 128 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: I mean when she hits the water. I mean they 129 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: said there wasn't any water in her lungs. So what 130 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: is your theory? I think the argument got out of 131 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: control and she was she was knocked unconscious by a 132 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: physical fight from Robert Wagner and put in the water. 133 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: So you believe when you were standing on the back 134 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: of that boat and he said don't turn on that searchlight, 135 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: you were talking to a murderer exactly. You believe Robert 136 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: Wagner murdered Natalie Wood I really do crime stories with 137 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. There were two lifeguards that handled the initial investigation. 138 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: One of those is dead, another one is not speaking. 139 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: He's refused to talk about this case. Now he says 140 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: he's done talking because he doesn't believe justice has been served. 141 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: And is one Roger Smith, Yes, okay, because we have 142 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: some audio of him. One of the lifeguards was Roger 143 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: Smith who led the lifeguard team that searched for Natalie, 144 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: and he's the one who actually pulled her body out 145 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: of the water. Here's a clip of his interview on 146 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: the podcast Fatal Voyage The Mysterious Death of Natalie Wood. 147 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: Let's listen to it. He said, we've had the shore 148 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: boats in the harbor trol go to every boat in 149 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: the harbor, and we couldn't locate her. Just look at 150 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: here's the boat right here. And he and Wagness said, 151 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: we didn't call them because the public agency, and she 152 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: might be fooling around a public boat, and she often 153 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: does that. I found out by one of the Marine 154 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: Science Center students who studies anatomy over there and that 155 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: worked the chamber with me, that she could live three 156 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: to five point eight hours hanging under that raft being 157 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: blown out the sea before she succumb to the code 158 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: based on what alcohol level she had on her hand 159 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 1: the safety line that goes along the side of it. 160 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 1: Her hands were still pliable, you know, So nothing is 161 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: said in yet, no riga mortis at all. And in 162 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: her facial she looked, she looked, I shan'ton den. I 163 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: looked out at the raft. As I looked at it, 164 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: I saw some scratch marks on the scratch end of 165 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: the material, but like somebody was clawing on the side 166 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: of it and staggering trying to get up in the 167 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: raff from the water. True, Natalie Wood didn't have to die. 168 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: You were hearing our friend doctor Phil and his guests, 169 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: including the man that pulled Natalie Wood's body out of 170 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: the icy waters at Catalina.

How did 172 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: she end up in the water to Cheryl McCollum, Cole 173 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: Case Research Institute director explained, Cheryl, nay, she's in her 174 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: stateroom and then she leaves that, which is it goes 175 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: straight out to the back of the boat where she 176 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: and Robert Wagner are having an oval argument to the 177 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: point Vince de Verne with the race yeo rolled up 178 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: in the wheelhouse, can hear it? He looks out and 179 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: sees it, and he thought, well, I'm going to give 180 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: him their privacy, so he looks away. The next thing 181 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: he knows, Robert Wagner comes him and says, Natalie's missing. 182 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: But when you look at the injuries to her body, 183 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: and not just what's written on the autoxy but the drawing. 184 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: She's got a mark on her left cheek. She's got 185 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: injuries around her neck, on her wrist, on her thigh, 186 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: on her knees, on her ankles, on the front of 187 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: her leg, both of them, on the backs of her legs. 188 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: There is no injury, however, to the inside of the 189 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: palm of her hand, And that crucial to me because 190 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: had she been holding onto that rope and that rope 191 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: fly away from her because the boat gets jerked away 192 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: in the wind, she might have burns from the rope. 193 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: They did not take any injury where she had been scratching. 194 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: But this is really important for your listeners to paint 195 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: this picture. The dinghy was not some heavy wooden boat. 196 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: It was filled with air the moment that it got untied. 197 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: It's like a balloon in the wind. There would have 198 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: been zero chance she could have re entered that boat 199 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: from the water. Not possible. So you think if you've 200 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: ever been pulled like on a knee board and the 201 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: you know in the lake if you fall off that 202 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: you can't get back on that you have to have 203 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: everything stopped in order to pull yourself back up on it. 204 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: A small raft. Forget getting the dinghy, not gonna happen. 205 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: And your point is she was not trying to re 206 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: enter that dingy. She was not conscious. Let me ask 207 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: you this, yere, I'm gonna call him. What about her 208 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: fingernails and autopsy? I don't recall them being chipped or broken? None, 209 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: her focks, her own, her nightgown, his own, the jacket 210 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: his own, she addressed. And the point is that if 211 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: well we know all these injuries are true because they're 212 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: on the autopsy report, if she did not sustain them 213 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,239 Speaker 1: trying to get into the boat the dinghy, then how 214 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: did she sustain them? I want to circle back to Lanta. 215 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: Would Natalie's sister, Lana I believe that Natalie was a 216 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: domestic abuse victim? Agree or disagree? Oh? I agree completely. 217 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: Natalie did did bruise easily, and for her to have 218 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: sustained that many bruises, I mean, it's quite obvious. There's 219 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: no way I can pretend that it wasn't done to her. 220 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: What about their history? You are in a unique position 221 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: to know her history with Robert Wagner. Was there any 222 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: indication through the years that she had been a domestic 223 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: abuse victim? Not that she ever admitted, which is very 224 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: very much like Natalie. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace special 225 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: guest joining me, Lanna Wood, Natalie's sister and actress. This 226 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: month is National Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, but I feel 227 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: like it has never been analyzed as it relates to 228 00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: your sister Natalie. Was there any indication through the years 229 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: that she had been a domestic abuse victim, not that 230 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: she ever admitted, which is very very much like Natalie, 231 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: because she also had a role to play with me. 232 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: I was her baby sister who was always around. She 233 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: didn't want me to see really ugly things. We didn't 234 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: talk about things like that. If I would begin to 235 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: talk about things like that in respect to myself my relationships, 236 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: she would say she didn't want to hear it. Well, 237 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: can you tell me about an incident where Natalie cut 238 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: her hand. I was a teenager. It was at my parents' home, 239 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: a small home in Van Eyes, and Natalie appeared at 240 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: the door very late at night with her hand bleeding 241 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: badly as she had cut herself to the wine glass 242 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: that she crushed with with her own hand. She was 243 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: so furious, so shocked, so distraught that she was able 244 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: to do that. And it was because of something that 245 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: she witnessed with her husband, Robert Wagner. Um that she 246 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: also then wrote about in her in her own memoir 247 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 1: which she was attempting to finish, that it shook up 248 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: her entire life. It destroyed everything she believed in in 249 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: marriage and everything else. Um what what destroyed everything she 250 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: believed in? Finding her husband with someone else? That was 251 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: the reason for the first divorce. Um, yeah, it was. 252 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: I was really devastating to her, absolutely devastating. Did I 253 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: miss hear that, Marty Rule, No, you did not, and 254 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: you did not miss hear anything. And Robert Wagner actually 255 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: that Natalie were Natalie even let the world believe when 256 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: all of the movie gossip magazines back in the day 257 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: were saying that the marriage had broken up because Natalie's 258 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: was with Warren Beatty that an affair had started while 259 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: she was making Splendor in the graph. Natalie wasn't even 260 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: that keen on Warren at first. They became good friends 261 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: after Natalie's marriage had deteriorated after that incident, and then 262 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: Warren had been engaged to Joan Collins and that engagement 263 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: had broken up. So Warren and Natalie started confiding in 264 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: each other and their relationship grew. But the movie magazines 265 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: were attacking Natalie for ruining the marriage by having an 266 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: affair with Warren Beatty and poor Rit Wagner. That's not 267 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: the case. Natalie caught her husband, Robert Wagner, in a 268 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: compromising position and went home to her parents' house and allowed, 269 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: And she does write about it. She doesn't describe it, 270 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: but she writes about her extreme emotional devastation over that 271 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: incident in her diary to Cheryl McCollum. In my mind, 272 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: and you and I have worked on so many domestic 273 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: violence cases that end in homicide, and my mind, adultery 274 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: is a form of emotional abuse, especially when your spouse, 275 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: your partner knows it's happening and you continue to do it. 276 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: That's abuse. But this was my case. And I was 277 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: coming to you at the court house that lay it 278 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: out and tell you what we have. I would start 279 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: with when they met, Noie, they year Volder might be, 280 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: but he did and told her a little bit when 281 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: they met. He was a bigger deal at first than 282 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: she was. Then she took the lead. She became the 283 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: movie star. And not just in movies. She was in 284 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 1: the Blockbusters at the time, three Academy Award nomination. I mean, 285 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: she's living the dream. She's on TV and in that 286 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: world there's a dispinsion, so there's jealousy there, there's other 287 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: things that might play in And one thing that I 288 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: would bring to you at the courthouse, I would say, Nancy, 289 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: she died on this night, but let's talk about the 290 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: night before, because you cannot discount the fact she was 291 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: either so upset and angry and wanted to get away 292 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: from Robert Waggoner's so bad. The night before she died, 293 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: she got n and Severne to take her to a 294 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: hotel on shore. She did not spend the night on 295 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: the Funday. She's absolutely right to let would Natalie's sister 296 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: and star in her own right. You don't have suddenly 297 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: an explosion one night a battering situation and the person 298 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: is killed when there is not a history leading up 299 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: to it. Okay, Now, what Cheryl McCollum is saying is 300 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: absolutely correct. Just like when Nicole Brown Simpson was trying 301 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: to leave home, Okay, because she had been battered that 302 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: night before she was killed. Natalie Wood had Davern the captain, 303 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: take her to short leave the yacht like so many 304 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: women leave their homes, because she was angry and afraid 305 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: of Robert Wagner. Lana, this is absolutely true. No, that 306 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: there would have had to have been something really quite 307 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: horrific for Natalie to leave and spend the night away 308 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: from the Splendor and stay on shore and asked Dannis 309 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: to please stay by her side. She asked him to 310 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: please stay with her. Marty Ruly, author of Goodbye Natalie, 311 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: Goodbye Splendor on Amazon. What do we know about the 312 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: night before she died? That night bothers me to this 313 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: day because the reason Natalie left the yacht that night 314 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: everything was fine. That night, she, Christopher and r J 315 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: had spent time on the island in Avalon and they 316 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: had lunch, They had some drinks and did some early 317 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: Christmas shopping, which was one of Natalie's reasons for wanting 318 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: to spend that weekend in at Catalina. She wanted to 319 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: get some She was into the holiday spirit. She was 320 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: in good spirits. But after they returned to the boat 321 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: on Friday night of the cruise, Black Friday, that was, 322 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: they had dinner aboard the boat, and then suddenly r 323 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: J wants to move the boat across the island to 324 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: the remote part of the island where there's the only 325 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: one restaurant, but which has closed at that time ten 326 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: ten thirty at night, and the water was choppy that night. 327 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: That's the night. The water was choppy, it was cold, 328 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: it was raining, and Robert Wagner suddenly he's running around, 329 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: he's pulling anchor. He's demanding that Dennis go to the 330 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: wheelhouse and get the engines going. They're going to the 331 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: other part of the island. Why And that was Natalie's question, why, 332 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: r J, Why are you doing this? And he was 333 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: so upset that night, he was angry, he was boiling 334 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: over with probably jealousy. And that's when Natalie said, Dennis, 335 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: I don't like this. Take me assure Dennis did, and 336 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: she was so upset that night they stayed up almost 337 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: all night long, while she confided in Dennis that she 338 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: was not going to tolerate this anymore. She was tired 339 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: of RJ's jealousies, which does have a history. One time, 340 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: and Robert Wagner himself writes about this in his memoir 341 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: that he was Well. It was actually in Gavin Lambert's 342 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: auto biography about Natalie that when she starred with William 343 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: Devane and Wagner was very jealous of William Devane in 344 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: From Here to Eternity. And one night they were in 345 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: a hotel room and RJ wanted to throw himself out 346 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: of an eight story hotel window over his jealousy. But 347 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: there were other people in the room that night Natalie 348 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: had gone to bed, and they all calmed r J down. 349 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: So there was a history of his jealousies and he's 350 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: not trusting Natalie. But on this night, the Friday night 351 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: that Dennis spent the night with Natalie, she was very afraid. 352 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: Now I believe that she asked Dennis to stay with 353 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: her so she could vent to him. And also because 354 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: she was afraid, why would he want to move that 355 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: boat at that late time at night to the remote 356 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: part of the island where the next night, Natalie ended 357 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: up in the water exactly at the same spot he 358 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: wanted to travel to. On Friday Night, Crime Stories give 359 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: Nancy Grace to Lanta would Natalie's sister and actress Lana. 360 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: Their relationship was fraught with explosive arguments and threats and 361 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 1: jealousies and all night drinking. What do you know about 362 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: their arguments over the years. I mean it led to 363 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: and then they got back together. Well, as I was 364 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: listening to Marty, it also brought back to me when 365 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: Natalie was filming Peter with Michael Caine UM and he 366 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: was just a family friend, Michael Um. But Nadalie and 367 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: I were in her in her trailer and she was 368 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: she was getting ready to go back out on the 369 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: set and r J arrived. He walked up the steps 370 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: and you know, when came into the trailer, we were 371 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: not expecting him, and he instantly started this kind of, um, 372 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,959 Speaker 1: I want to say, snide sort of bickering about you know, oh, 373 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: you better make sure your mic has turned on. When 374 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: when the sound man put on your microphone and set 375 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: everything up, was he turned on? Did you let him 376 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:05,479 Speaker 1: see anything? I mean, it was rather because I was 377 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,959 Speaker 1: standing there, it was sort of done in an in 378 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: an undertone, but it was very cruel and it was weird. 379 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: It was just odd that he would become very who 380 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: steps up her microphone? That sort of thing would go 381 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: on from time to time always, but he uh, he 382 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: would try to cover up most of the time when 383 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: they would start that kind of bickering, and Natalie would 384 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: get very upset. She did not lash back, She did 385 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: not say anything that would further his his strange behavior, 386 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: his thoughts, and generally I would excuse myself and say, 387 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: you know, hey, if they want at dinner later, um, 388 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: give me a callback, and I would I would leave 389 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: because it was very unpleasant. So jealous was that common 390 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: and their relationship these arts, that type of behavior was common. 391 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: There seemed to be some sort of a jealousy that 392 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: was not that that had no basis. So I don't 393 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: know psychologically if that was something that he just simply 394 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: enjoyed or that was his way of upsetting Natalie. Let 395 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: me ask you this. Lanna would during her marriages to 396 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: Robert Wagner. First and second, did you ever suspect that 397 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: she was a victim of either physical or emotional abuse? 398 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: Emotional yes, yeah, the physical no, I didn't really. Ladie 399 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: always had bruises, but whenever I'd say what happened there 400 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: the ankle would be, oh, I don't even know. I 401 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: you know, I bump into things. Okay, that's interesting to me. 402 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: To Marti Ruly Arthur of Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendor, that 403 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: people actually noticed Natalie Wood's bruises, well, she was an 404 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: active person and you can acquire bruises and a lot 405 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: of people as an excuse later, you know, explaining the 406 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: bruises on her autopsy reports said well, when your boating 407 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: neck can happen. Not the type of bruises that Natalie had, 408 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: especially at the ankles. The ankle bruises that she had 409 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: actually looked like fingerprint marks, which and you know, I 410 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: am an amateur when it comes to the medical field 411 00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: in respect to a coroner's report, but I did markings 412 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: on a makeshift body, and those bruises at Natalie's ankles 413 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: on her autopsy are exactly fit the handprints of being 414 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: pulled by the ankles, probably dragged along the deck, which 415 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: is how she acquired her facial abrasion, which just had 416 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: non skid applied to the deck, you know, close here 417 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: and it up for the winner the boat and so. 418 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: But in actual every day to day life, I did 419 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: not know Natalie or ever see Natalie. But Nalana just 420 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: said that she a lot of times had bruises. Who 421 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: knows where they came from. I want to follow up 422 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: on something you're saying with Cheryl McCallum, director of the 423 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: Cold Case Research Institute, regarding the bruises on Natalie's ankles. 424 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: You have to ask yourself first, or her injuries consistent 425 00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: with a fall. If you answer no, that's why we're here. 426 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: That's why the autocity results have been changed from accidental 427 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: drowning to undetermined because they're not consistent with a fall. 428 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: There's no way this is unusual. Bit, My daughter Caroline 429 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: is exactly Natalie Wood's height. Caroline could no more from 430 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: the back of that boat, reach that thinging pull it 431 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: toward her, and enter it without help. And here's what 432 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: key to me. The night before, when she's mad and 433 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: upset and angry and wants to get away from him, 434 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: she don't jump in that boat and take off. She 435 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: gets Dennis to take her the next night. You want 436 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: me to believe that Natalie Wood, who would flaw it? 437 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: I have personally looked at over twelve hundred photographs of 438 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: Natalie Wood. There ain't a bad one. There's only one 439 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: that I had found. She's an a babe walking down 440 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: the beach. Her smile is perfect, The babess is perfect 441 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: to lay, her legs are position, walking is perfect. But 442 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: her eyes were closed. That is as close to a 443 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: bad picture of her that I have found. The reason 444 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: that's key. I am never gonna believe that Natalie would 445 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: guide in a boats by herself, that she was petrified 446 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: of the water, That she was petrified of a boat 447 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: she never drove and went to town in a flannel 448 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: nightgown did not happen. Natalie Woods would not get bot 449 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: people to believe she owed flannel. She was a movie 450 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: star all the time. It wasn't. It wasn't playing Natalie 451 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: as she was. We wait and hope for justice.
