 Natalie Wood and the conspiracies theories surrounding her drowning, by being murder by her husband.

Natalie Wood a TV Star, had everything she wanted in life. The woman who had a career when she was a little girl. At age 16, Wood began filming one of her most famous films. She earned an Academy Award nomination for her work in 1955. A floating body on the water, identifying as a 5”0”, brown eyes, small petite woman, and dark brown hair. Natalie’s boat trip with her husband Robert Wagner ended up founding the actress dead the next morning. Today, it remains shocking.

Natalie was very smart, kind, and beautiful, but she was the most outgoing, straight forward and loving person. She was talented and loved her life. Director Joseph L. Mankiewcz, Said that “In all my years in the business, I never seen a smarter Muppet. On the films “The Ghost and Mrs. Moir” Natalie Wood ran to the set as fast as she could after the teacher let her go (Dailymail, 2015). As a child actress, Wood received media attention.

Natalie was a hard working woman and full of life. But, did she really her herself to the internal edge? Was it herself or someone else on the boat? In the middle of the night in California Island, Natalie Wood wanted to fix the boat her body was found dead, and ended up suspicious.

On the night of November 29, 1981 Natalie, Robert Wagner (husband), and her brainstorm Co-star Christopher Walken took a trip to California Catalina Island on their boat Splendour. Everyone on the boat had a few drinks (Dailymail, 2015). Wagner thought Wood and Walken seemed to close, then Wagner broke a bottle during a fit of anger over their friendship, after Wagner and Wood argued (Dailymail, 2015).

Later that evening Wood’s body was found the next morning floating in the water of Catalina beside Splendour (their boat). Her death was presented as an accidental drowning, as following that Wood fell in the water after securing the boat (Dailymail, 2015). As few wonder this death, because Wood was very afraid of the water. Did she really drown? Was it Wagner that did it?

To Natalie’s loved ones, it’s unthinkable that the, actress, mother, wife, was found floating. Natalie’s Wood sister, Lana Wood said “Natalie was so scared of water that she would never tried to get into a dinghy voluntarily before she drowned” she also said “ It gave Natalie a great fear (after one of her films). She hated the water, she wouldn’t even go into her own pool at  her home” , which her drowning was a mystery (Dailymail, 2015). Sadly, Natalie Wood death remains unthinkable.

                    In the case of Natalie Wood, three conspiracy theories are highlighted. One of the theories suggests that the actress drowned because she was fixing the dingy while she was on the boat and drowned. However, two of the conspiracies involve her husband (Robert Wagner).

                     The first conspiracy theory proposes that Natalie went outside to fix the dingy from hitting the boat she was in that night. Later that evening, her husband was unable to find her. Her death was identified as an accidental drowning (Dailymail, 2015). Before the incident of her death, Wagner and Wood had an argument that night of anger over his relationship with Walken, Natalie’s Brainstorm Co-Star. However, no one knows what happened to Wood that night. The three actors were drinking heavily that Wagner broke a bottle while they had the argument. Later authorities indicated that Wagner was not an official suspect. Wood’s death case was changed to an “accident” (Dailymail, 2015).

                 The second conspiracy suggests that Wagner was the blame of her death. In previous shows Wood was in she had an accident, that she was afraid of water and didn’t know how to swim. Both Wood and Wagner were intoxicated that night of her death. Dennis Davern, the  Skipper of the yacht said he knows what happened that night. He said Wagner shoved her away and went overboard, Wagner then said to leave her alone as teaching her a lesson. The argument was known as an affair with the actor Walken. Investigators said Robert Wagner had declined for an interview for the latest inquiry . Investigators found bruises on her but don’t know where she got them from.

           

The last conspiracy theory was if her death was on purpose. Through years of gathering evidence and witnesses, investigators know that the last person she was with the night of her death was Robert Wagner (Husband). Unfortunately, Wagner declined for an interview with investigators. The evidence that he knows would be helpful for the case of her death, the truth will remain silent.

            Why does Robert Wagner remain the prime person in the death of Natalie Wood? Because, Wagner had an argument with Wood the night before her drowning which Wagner and everyone knew she was afraid of water (Biography, 2015). Which it brings back to, why Wood would fix the dingy hitting the boat when she was afraid and didn’t know how to swim. That night both were drinking and on vacation everyone knew they were together that night. One version of the various stories was told that “Natalie drowned because she was trying to fix the boat; she couldn’t swim so she drowned to death. Then, because she fell in the water at night and drowned (Biography, 2015). When questioned by investigators about her death, Wagner didn’t want to answer.

                        Fast forward to the day she died November 29, 1981. Was found drowned near the boat. The three actors were heavily drinking. The same night there were arguments. Her body was then discovered the next morning 60-foot away from the yacht Splendor (Biography, 2015). Wagner, denies being involved in her death and has never been charged.

                     A survey of twenty people revealed 90% agree that most likely scenario is Natalie was drowned because she was fixing the dingy that night. Having no proof or footage of that night. Wagner can’t be charged to her death. Natalie’s case continues to be open for investigation.

1.         Was Natalie Wood murdered by her husband Robert Wagner?

2.         Did she drowned because she was fixing the boat at night?

3.         Did Natalie leave to escape from her husband after the argument?

Even today, twenty five years after the beautiful, pretty, actress from San Francisco drowned,     the unsolved mystery of her death continues to baffle family, friends, and investigators. However, it’s likely Robert Wagner knows the key to solving the case of Natalie Wood.
