I'm telling you, I'm right! Update on the Natalie Wood case

Every so often a story comes along that requires an immediate blog post. 

ROBERT WAGNER NAMED PERSON OF INTEREST IN THE NATALIE WOOD DROWNING.

Every news service has the story.  And 48 HOURS on CBS will do a report on Saturday night (when no one is watching.) 

Readers of this blog know I have always maintained there was more to this story and Wood's death was not just an accidental drowning.   The woman was absolutely terrified of water.  That she "fell" into the drink without RJ or other passenger Christopher (nothing ever suspicious about him) Walken makes zero sense.   That there was drinking and a fight, a fight that got out of hand and resulted in Natalie being pushed off the boat seems way more plausible to me.   There are several theories as to what the actual fight was about.  You'd have to ask RJ or Walken (who won't tell you the truth). 

But the LAPD reopened the case in 2011, they re-examined the autopsy and found fresh bruises (evidence of a fight), and investigators now have determined that the testimony RJ gave does not hold water (so to speak).   So he will be re-questioned -- hence "A Person of Interest."   That could lead to "Person of Suspect" and maybe even "Person of Convicted Felon." 

In any event, it's clear there's more to the case with additional info to come.   And investigators are being left alone to do their work.  Fortunately our president isn't involved.  Otherwise there would be Tweets discrediting Natalie Wood and memos from the White House contending she's still alive. 

If you're checking in to the blog for the first time today, keep scrolling for my original post on FRIENDS.
