In September 2009 Dennis and I interviewed in NY with EXTRA. It was a great interview...went over two hours. The interviewer, Joe, in the top photo (left) asked all of the pertinent questions I hoped for. He was sensitive, alert, and on target. I was so nervous at first, but Joe was the best interviewer EVER on this story and quickly put me at ease.
I have no idea why the interview never aired. We even answered viewer questions they presented to us. It's just another indication of media fear of this story. We were thorough in this interview: we told what needed to be told, and I suppose that's what made it more difficult for the show to air the truth. Everyone is afraid of a lawsuit, but there's no doubt in my mind Joe believed us and liked us. He talked with us for a long while after the interview. Afterward, the show shot Dennis and me walking in Times Square. I ganged these photos together (for easy scanning) my sister-in-law, Shirley, took that day. Joe took the one of Dennis, me, Shirley and my brother, Dave (a retired lieutenant). The one of Dennis sitting in a chair overlooking Times Square was taken prior to the interview when we were waiting in the Planet Hollywood studio to be interviewed. The bottom photo is my brother dropping me off...he and Shirley were excellent escorts, I really appreciated their support this day. The bottom left photo is Dennis and me, proudly holding our book.
I'm planning on calling EXTRA to see if I can talk with someone about the interview: maybe get a copy of it. It baffles me to no end why the media is afraid of the truth.
I think it's a travesty of justice that you are 'dismissed' Marti, as if GNGS needs some scan or validation before being accepted as the ONLY book on this bizarre investigation that makes any sense, tells the truth, and offers the public every single thing we've waited 30 years for. I praise you for your courage, I THANK you for what you have done for Natalie and I am so angered by the media for dismissing you. Maybe they will air this interview after Wagner dies, wimps that they are. Shame on them! Maybe the interviewer went too deep and the show cowered.
ReplyDeleteIt would be wonderful if you could get a DVD of the show. These pics are great to see. Thank you so much for sharing them. You and Dennis both look wonderful, and you know what? You both look HONEST! Sign me 'Sleepless in DE'
Thank you "Sleepless" -- I had felt so released after this interview. I really felt as if we told everything and that the facts spoke volumes. It was such a disappointment to never see the edited result. I know Joe would've done a great job with it. He really seemed to feel for Natalie and I appreciated it so much.
ReplyDeleteI just slept for two days, on and off, so am a little sleepless myself right now, but am going to try to sleep off this head cold.
Thank you for your comment. Good night.
I wish we could see this interview!
ReplyDeleteI think the media has been warned in some way to stay away, maybe threatened with huge lawsuits. Dennis' story says it all. The media could get around a lawsuit, but I'm sure they feel, why bother?
ReplyDeleteThe media has NOT gotten around lawsuits in the past, remember Richard Jewell? I suspect that the interview was viewed by the EXTRA legal department and they vetoed it or Robert Wagner's attorney contacted the EXTRA legal staff. Anyone who feels that Wagner does not care about GNGS is very naive. If Wagner was dead, the interview would have been aired as would the other book promo shows.
ReplyDeleteLove looking at these photographs. Thanks for posting. I too would love to see this interview.
ReplyDeleteDennis looks great!
ReplyDeleteI agree, he looks nothing like a drunken bum. Some people make me sick, talking about a man whose habits 30 years ago in a world of booze and drugs surrounding him, as if it establishes who he is today. Big deal he smoked some pot and took some pills back then!! He's obviously a solid member of society these many years later who made good with his life after a terrible tragedy shadowing his every move. Good for Dennis. You look good also, Marti. I would LOVE to see this interview!!
ReplyDeleteYou and Dennis make a good team. It's nice to see you photographed together. Extra should air this interview. Is there anything in particular you said in the interview that might prevent the airing?
ReplyDeleteWe told the story that is published in GNGS. The truth. Apparently, the media still wants the truth but still doesn't know what to do with it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the photos. You all look very nice. Dennis is a handsome man and I think he should be commended for turning his life around in such a positive manner. People need to stop harping on what he did thirty years ago. Dennis lives a different life today. I don't know him at all, but I believe what he says. Dennis looks happy and healthy!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the interview on TV.
The clock is ticking on your hero. Have fun while you can anonymous.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same post as the one above but they replaced Dennis with RJ.
ReplyDeleteAnd how childish is that? There is no comparison between them in that Dennis is an honorable man who came forward with the truth. RJ was a filthy, conniving liar 30 years ago and remains as such today. And of course Dennis pushed or put or slapped his wife so that she would suffocate to death. NOPE, no comparison at all.
ReplyDeleteI just saw that it was posted twice. I will delete. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAbove is in reference to THE TROLL who really needs some head work and copy the post about Dennis being a handsome man and DELIBERATELY changed the name to RJ. SOme people really need to grow up, get pyschiatric help, and/or create their own blogs where they can talk about how handsome RJ is. I think he looks like a filthy rotten killer.
ReplyDeleteThe next time this person posts on my blog, I will name him, my attorney, and mention all action being taken. Other blog and forum owners will work with me as it's now out of control. As for proof, I have all IP addresses of unsolicited emails, derogatory posts, and constant cyber stalking and "bullying" (there are variations of cyber bullying under the laws and this person has crossed many of the barriers, including using fradulant names to bait me). Because I wrote a controversial book does not give ANYONE the right to harass me as I've been harassed by this one person. I am sorry this person is affecting my blog and also palying with your comments. I will NOT tolerate it any longer. I am not going to post anything for a few days until my attorney can take the action necessary to rid us all of this constant pest. Thank you all for understanding.
ReplyDeleteMarti,
ReplyDeleteIt must be a scary thing to have this happen to you at your public blog. Obviously, that is what the person is trying to do: demean you and your followers at sporactic opportunity. This is a lovely post you made, and that seemed to trigger his sickness. I think this person may have weird connection to Wagner, or be in love with him. No one goes this crazy over a celebrity unless they are terribly sick. We are sorry, too and understand. If we can be of any help, I know I'm here to verify the annoying things I've seen happening at your blog. It is disruptive and you shouldn't tolerate it. I sure hope this person isn't crazy enough to bother you in real time. A virtual pest is bad enough. I've witnessed the annoyance and will stand by you. "L"
Even is you close up your blog, Marti, he can choose any anonymous follower name and keep invading. Stick with your course of action. Good luck. Anything you've said thus far is completely legal. It may be smart of you to name this person, for protection as well as to embarrass the culprit. It would be so much simpler to leave us all alone. Sadly, some people can't. They are that sick.
ReplyDeleteClosing the blog is exactly what this troll wants. He is obsessed with the blog, the book etc. He has been trying to discredit Marti and Dennis since the book came out. He's used various names , male and female, on various sites to try to discredit the book and anyone connected with it in any way. Shutting down the blog is what this demented soul wants.
ReplyDeleteI posted something in another thread Marti saying we all know how to sidestep the nusiance, and we will. Don't let him get what he wants. You have our support.
ReplyDeleteThanks all, I appreciate it. Let's use the latest post (bulleted investigatio flaws) for any discussions and we'll let this thread go.
ReplyDeleteI am not closing down the blog. Many new people are interested and that's what's needed for this case: for people to know more about it and to know it's as important today as it was 30 years ago.
Grow up! This is not IMDB.
