FOR hours, NATALIE WOOD screamed for help while clinging to the side of a dinghy before the exhausted actress slipped beneath the waves and drowned.
And her husband Robert Wagner could have saved her if he had called for help sooner, says the lifeguard who pulled Natalie’s body from the water.
“Wagner could have saved his wife. But he didn’t,” said Roger Smith, a former Los Angeles County supervising rescue boat captain who headed a lifeguard team that helped in the search for Natalie that fateful morning more than 30 years ago. “Robert Wagner should be charged with manslaughter! I believe he is responsible for her death!”
IN A WORLD EXCLUSIVE ENQUIRER interview, Smith broke a 30-year silence and revealed shocking never-before-heard details about the tragedy that has remained a mystery and is currently being reinvestigated.
