Natalie Wood Witness Heard Screaming, Was Told to Keep Quiet
The case of Natalie Wood was reopened last week and a witness has come forward saying that she heard a woman screaming on the night that Wood drowned thirty years ago. The witness says that she also received a threatening note telling her to keep quiet about what she had heard on November 29th, 1981.
Marilyn Wayne said she heard a woman repeatedly screaming: “Help me, someone help me.”
Fox News reports that Wayne was on the water the night that Natalie Wood died. Wayne was aboard the Capricorn near Catalina Island in Southern California. Wayne says that she wasn’t the only one who heard the screams. Her boyfriend John Payne and her son also heard the woman’s cry for help.
Wayne said:
“A woman’s voice, crying for help from drowning awakened John, and he awakened me. Alarmed, I called out to my son, who also heard the cries, and looked at his new digital watch: it was just minutes after 11:00 P.M.”
Wood, a famous actress, drowned on Nov. 29, 1981. She was sailing off the coast of Catalina Island with her husband Robert Wagner, Christopher Walken, and boat captain Dennis Davern. The men on the boat are unclear about what happened to Wood. Walken said that she must have hit her head late at night and fell into the water.
But Wayne tells a different story. Wayne said:
“We called the sheriff’s office in Avalon and whoever answered told us a helicopter would be sent, but it did not come. We heard loud music coming from somewhere, so thought there was a party on a nearby boat. Then I heard a man’s voice, slurred, and in aggravated tone… “Oh, hold on, we’re coming to get you,” and not long after, the cries for help subsided, but we heard the cries for up to 15 minutes. We returned to bed, terribly disturbed.”
ABC News reports that police never interviewed Wayne during their initial investigations and shortly after Natalie Wood’s death Wayne received a threatening note telling her to keep queit.
Wayne said:
“After all I’ve learned since my own direct experience with the death of Natalie, I am stunned that Robert Wagner has never been properly interrogated in regards to Natalie Wood’s death. In my opinion, Natalie Wood’s case is one of the top most botched cases of the 20th century, and I am still willing to offer my assistance should you finally realize that this case needs what every death case deserves: a full and proper investigation.”
Wagner said that he supports the inquiry into Natalie Woods’ death. Wood was never charged with his wife’s murder and he is not currently a suspect.
Do you think there was foul play in the case of Natalie Wood?

The very last paragraph contains an ERROR! It reads "Wagner said that he supports the inquiry into Natalie Woods’ death. ""WOOD WAS NEVER CHARGED WITH HIS WIFE'S MURDER"" and he is not currently a suspect."

open and shut case, they had a fight, he pushed her in the water, left here there, she died, the went down stairs, played stupided. failed to do what he should have done, now worryed about being charged with her murder due to neligenance and so afriad of going to jail where he belongs. tipical tv movie and what happens when you have the money to stay out of jail, anybody else (the little guy) wound have been convicted and jailed but with his money and connections the. goes to show you money and connections talk. he did it and he knows he did it. he' just worry now about being caught and going to jail. its a damn shame, why don't the pigs do their job instead of taking payoffs from so called big shots with money justice was not served here and isnot where money is available to bribe.

I have never liked Robert Wagner,, mostly because he comes off as a snob raised in Hollywood brat Plus to me he seemed to always "fake" a manly voice. I think he beat her around and she fell overboard and he was too drunk to do anything about it. HE GOT AWAY WITH MURDER.

this is sad why not come out in 1980s I rememember that they were very much in love just like Mark Harmon and Karen Carpenter were.

It seems strange that, after 30 years, they are reopening the case. Why did it take so long to come forward? It wouldn't surprise me if Wagner had something to do with it.

At first I thought "Oh NO! WHY do this on the 30th anniversary?"But I heard Lana Wood speak and she feels "Something is terribly wrong" here too, so that's good enough for Me! Natalie deserves the TRUTH, whatever it is, to come out. Her girls too are old enough to stomach whatever it is, but above all.. TRUTH! NAtalie should be alive right now..And SOMEBODY KNOWS what really happened…

Natalie Wood was an incredible actress and seemed to be a sweet person who deserved more than what her marriage to Robert Wagner gave her. If Wagner or Walkin or anyone else aboard neglected to care for Natalie, I am confident they will answer to God for harming such a kind and gentle young woman.

Ok, the witness said she was never interviewed or questioned, and then states the investigation was a bothced job.
When you know or suspect something, you go to the police then, not later, especially not 30 years later. You cannot say an investigation was botched when you admit to having information about the case and then not say anything.
Goodness! People, stand up and start saying something before it is too late.
What I think about this case, or anyone else for that matter, does not even enter into it. What matters is that something could have been done back then, if this witness had spoken up like a normal, caring human being, should have. Her boyfriend and son heard it too? WoW! three idiots!
After all of these years, I doubt anyone will ever know what happened, but knowing what these "witnesses" are like, sure should wake up their family and friends to what kind of people they are.

Looks to me like someone is attempting to benefit financially from a very cold case. I assure you the witnesses have calorated to have a perfect story to tell, FOR MONEY!"
Nov 23, 2011

Ummm, if you want a report taken seriously, at least Edit it properly- "Wood was never charged with his wife's murder".
