Those were the last words that Capt Dennis Davern heard Robert Wagner yell at his wife during the vicious argument they had in their stateroom aboard their boat the Splendor. This was Thanksgiving 1981 the fateful night that Natalie Wood drowned off the coast of Catalina Island. Capt Davern has now recanted his original story to the LAPD. He now claims that Wood and Wagner argued constantly and during this final battle, people or objects were being thrown around the cabin and against the ceiling of the cabin. He waited 15 mins after things went silent and he went up to the rear of the boat only to find Wagner, nervous, sweaty, disheveled, anxious, and flushed. Wagner told him "Natalie is missing." Capt Davern says Wagner would not allow him to contact anyone or turn on the spotlight to look for Wood. An hour passes and Wagner starts crying and repeating "She's gone! She's gone! She's gone!". And shortly after that Capt Davern was finally able to finally convince Wagner to allow him to contact the authorities. When asked now who is to blame for Natalie Wood Wagner's death, Capt Davern states Robert Wagner is responsible.
LAPD Lt John Carina told reporters at a recent News Conference that Robert Wagner is not a suspect at this time. However, they are definitely re-investigating this matter and will follow to the end where ever the evidence leads them. Really? Cause, in my book Robert Wagner, Capt Davern and Christopher Walken are all suspects. Since they were the only people on the boat with Wagner at the time of her death. I just find it very suspicious that all of a sudden Capt Davern is coming forward now to point fingers at Robert Wagner. Could it be that he is trying to increase sales on his book about the case? Hmmmm. Because if things happened as the Capt claims, why did he lie for Robert Wagner 30+ years ago? Why didn't he tell the Police all that he knew and heard on that fateful night? Was he paid to keep his mouth shut? Was he involved? Did he find a drunk Natalie on that rear deck and did he try to have sex with her and she rebuffed him they struggled and she fell overboard? Because when Natalie's body was re-examined she now has bruises and scratches on her arms. A lot of times, bruises dont show up right away in the first 24hrs after death.
Oh well, it's just a tragic case all around. Natalie Wood was so beautiful and a talented actress. She had many more years to give us more amazing performances. And her life was just cut so short too soon. I just hope the LAPD can solve this mystery. It would be nice to know the truth.
