BREAKING NEW: Husband is The Prime Suspect Of Actrees Natalie Wood's Supposed Murder

Nearly 40 years after Natalie Wood died mysteriously on a boat trip to Santa Catalina Island, investigators have named the actor’s husband Robert Wagner as a person of interest.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s investigators told 48 Hours, the CBS news magazine series, that they intend to speak to Wagner, 87, regarding the circumstances of Wood’s death in 1981.

Investigators say that Wood’s autopsy noted fresh bruises on her wrists and upper body, including a “superficial abrasion” on her left cheek. In the interview with 48 Hours, detective Ralph Hernandez says Wood “looked like a victim of an assault”, while Corina added that the circumstances surrounding her death are “suspicious enough to make us think that something happened”.

At just 41 years old, Wood had already amassed three Oscar nominations and starring roles in Rebel Without a Cause and West Side Story.

CBS will be airing a special about the case – Natalie Wood: Death in Dark Water – which was reopened in 2011 after the captain of the Splendour, Dennis Davern, stated he had initially lied to police and believed Wagner to be responsible for Wood’s death. Davern alleged that Wagner and Wood had an argument that evening that escalated.

The CBS special includes interviews with the detectives on the case as well as Wood’s sister Lana Wood.
