Natalie Wood article: Robert Wagner's response to news release he has not cooperated with new investigation

In this article Wagner's attorney claims Wagner has cooperated for the past 31 years concerning Natalie Wood's death. Attorney claims the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept efforts are based on those who want to sensationalize and exploit Natalie's death.

Fact is, Wagner went through two brief interviews during the initial investigation in 1981. Since then, he has only talked about Natalie's death publicly when he chose to, which I observed happened only when he wanted to promote his book release in 2008. In his book and during his book tour he hardly broached the pressing questions in the mystery of his late wife's tragedy.

I spent over 25 years trying to get the Wood case reopened. When it finally happened in Nov. 2011, Wagner's released statement was that he 'welcomed the investigation' -- as long as it wasn't based on those trying to profit. Now, after NOT cooperating with the authorities he lamely still blames Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour for the reason he is being called out in the press. This author is not responsible for the multiple bruises on Natalie Wood's body that the current L.A. Coroner has determined curious enough to change the status of Natalie's death certificate from accident to undetermined so that the LASD can continue with their investigation.

Wagner has NOT cooperated with the NEW investigation, and in this article claims he has been fielding questions for decades. Fielding is an appropriate word. He has not only dodged questions in interviews and in his book, he has dodged the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

My goal had always been to get Natalie's case into competent, professional hands. When that happened, I was gratified the authorities took over. What is in the news now comes from the professionals. They are not exploiting, nor sensationlizing. They want answers. This article makes it clear, none will come from Wagner.
