I always believed Robert Wagner had something to do with her death, He thought there was something going on between her and Walken. They were filming "Brainstorm" at the time. I am pretty sure she wasnt interested in him. She loved Mr. Wagner. But they had argued and she left the room....Thats all we are certain of. I would love for them to get to the bottom of this as I know Mr. Wagner had something to do with it and he has gotten away with it for 30 years.

I hope the real truth finally comes out, i never believed it was an accident..too many questions left unanswered.

murder is now legal in the state of california....um for the rich and famous

@reclaimerReclaimer Yeah, he is quirky but I don't think he did it. I'm surprised that nobody heard her fall or scream for help. Anyway, nice background.

[reclaimerReclaimer]

@norah1699 Probably not, but due to that quirky persona of his I suppose he just seems like he's hiding some knowledge of some kind. I could be wrong. I would say though, it's probably more likely Wagner could've done it.

@reclaimerReclaimer Walken? He had no reason to kill her.

[reclaimerReclaimer]

Everybody's on about Wagner, but what about Walken? I think one of them had something to do with it.

ok ppl ill put it 2 u this way I BELIVE he killed her either way he got away with it coz of money and power ppl who have money and power will never see the inside of a cell like u and i unless ur rich as and even if he did go 2 jail i bet ya he would get protective custody u and i will be left 2 get beaten and raped 2 the core ppl

With that said, he doesn't believe any further examinations will label Wood's death as anything other than an accident.

The three-time Academy Award nominee was sailing off Catalina Island during Thanksgiving weekend in 1981 on a yacht she owned with husband Robert Wagner when she mysteriously ended up dead in the water.

Officials initially ruled her death as an accident, and 30 years later, no evidence seems to prove otherwise.--Comcast News Jan. 10, 2012

Unfortunately this happens all to often among the rich and powerful. The average person could not get away with a traffic ticket but with enough money and influence, anything including murder can be bought, threatened or even eliminated. For the sake of truth and justice, if justice exists at all, I hope they will pursue this case until the truth is known and the purpatrator is punished.

@ibfancyt1 he should have been in jail for 30 years

@cwmclaughlin67 "beating tool" is your accusation? And you say "End of story". My dear, or whomever you are, earn a degree in detective first and be a true dectective at work earning a living and stop getting attention. If the truth is not found out in court it certainly will be punishable by God. No detective nor police is going to waste their time to look at these notes we've written. Now thats a LAUGH. They have more important things to do. My goodness!! Be real!
