I completely agree.
Dennis Davern's story has never changed and has tried for years to get justice for Natalie. They just recently did secret testing to establish if Dennis could have heard the commotion. It was verified that what Dennis has been saying all along was true. I never doubted his version and respect his courage and determination in trying to get Natalie's killer out of the shadows and into the light.
I have always thought that foul play was at work and had my eye squarely on Wagner from the start. Very glad to see his cage being rattled. I want to see him give solid proof that he is innocent. Until that time, my heart says Robert Wagner is involved and he's the only one I feel is.
I co-sign this. :goodpost: Dennis Davern has been criticized and attacked for years, and has been accused of exploiting Natalie's death for financial gain. That couldn't be farther from the truth. He owns and operates a successful business in Florida and has never asked or demanded money from Wagner. Wagner and his supporters try to make Lana Wood out to be a money-hungry fame seeker as well and that is just not true. She did not receive any money from Natalie's will other than financial funds for the care of their mother, Maria. Lana has struggled for years to make ends meet, as she discovered that Wagner has done everything in his power to make sure that she could not find work in the entertainment industry. A few things have come up for her, but she hasn't really worked with much regularity in the industry since Natalie died. She was the co-producer of the television miniseries "The Mystery Of Natalie Wood" (2004) which was based on the book "Natasha: The Mystery Of Natalie Wood" by Suzanne Finstad. Unfortunately, they couldn't end the miniseries the way the book ended as Wagner's attorneys were constantly interrupting production, threatening lawsuits. So it ended with Natalie dying accidently, but the portrayal of Wagner and his behavior on that night was not flattering, to say the least.
Davern has put himself through every test imaginable in order for the truth to come out and for Natalie to receive justice. He has more than gone the distance in my opinion and deserves respect for all he has done.
Christopher Walken should have spoken up years ago; in maintaining his silence for as long as he did "out of respect for the family" he in fact enabled the situation, whether that was his intention or not. But he didn't kill Natalie. He has, however, spoken with the LASD investigators since the case was reopened.
After all these years, there are still people who tiptoe around Wagner as if he's still some grieving widower. Never mind he moved on extremely quickly (I still think he was seeing Jill St. John before Natalie died), when he had two small children coping with the loss of their mother. Natasha has stated tellingly that she views her father Richard Gregson's wife, Julia, to be her stepmother and not Jill St. John. She said that Jill was only there for Wagner and that she and Courtney were not close to her when they were growing up. As I said before, Wagner is utterly selfish. All he cares about is his image and his "charmed life". If he were truly innocent, he would want things to be cleared up and he would want to know what happened to Natalie. But he doesn't want that because he does know and that he is guilty of murder.
I was born in 1979, so I didn't become aware of Natalie until I was a teenager, when I saw some of her movies on television. The more I learned about her and her life and death, the more convinced I became that her death was not an accident. Wagner's behavior and words have only confirmed my suspicions. Despite his supposedly affable exterior, he has a very jealous side, especially when alcohol is in the equation. And you can tell by looking at him now that he drank heavily for years (note his huge, bloated alcoholic head and ruddy complexion). As I stated earlier, he has aged so much since the reopening of the case, and I really can't wait for him to be exposed for the lying murderer that he is.
