On Friday, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department announced that they would be re-opening the investigation into actress Natalie Wood‘s death. Wood was 43 at the time of her death, on Nov. 29, 1981. Her body was found in the ocean, off the coast of Catalina Island, and police ruled her death an accidental drowning. She had supposedly fallen off a yacht. However, the case has long been suspected as having involved some sort of foul play.

Making things even stranger was the Christopher Walken element — the actor was also on the yacht, and is believed to be one of the last people to see Wood alive. Also on the boat was Robert Wagner, Wood’s husband, who allegedly got into a heated argument with Wood before she disappeared. The captain of the boat, Dennis Davern, wrote a book in 2009 and has been vocal in his accusations of Wagner being the murderer. Authorities have said that neither Walken nor Wagner are suspects, and that — until new evidence pops up — the death is still being ruled as an accident.

In a huge understatement, Piers Morgan — during his interview with Natalie’s sister, Lana Wood (which will air on CNN tonight at 9 p.m.) — says that it, “remains a very confusing picture.”

Trying to straighten things out, at least a little bit, Lana Wood told Morgan that Davern used to call her “quite frequently” in the early 90s, crying, saying that there was more to the story than he said, and how guilty he felt. “I always told him at the time, ‘Go to the authorities, then,’” she tells Morgan. Davern would explain that he couldn’t because he was scared. “I think what’s important is not what I think happened or someone else thinks happened,” Wood concludes. “I think what’s important is to get to the bottom of what actually did happen.”

Oh gawd – the 4th guy on the boat, the pilot, told one story to the cops and insurance companies and everyone then and for all the years since, and all of a sudden, he sees a book opportunity and sales and money, and now it’s: I THINK maybe I’ve been repressing a lie for 30 years, I don’t know WHY I lied, especially in a way that fits what Wagner and Walken said, I don’t WHY I kinda just forgot to mention this way more book-worthy version for 3 decades just in time for me to sell a bunch of books, I don’t actually BLAME Walken or even Wagner for buying me off or threatening me or saying ANYTHING to me to get me to tell the lie I THINK I told, which was the same lie that fit with what each of THEM told the police, I really do not UNDERSTAND why I need to unburden myself right now with the book tour coming up and all – but hey, it’s way better than selling books by fake-running for president!

Fact: Sarah Palin was 17 years old in 1981, was quite attractive, and was projecting evil vibes all along the West Coast. Robert Wagner had seemed distracted & disoriented that year…

More random speculation from Tabloid Piers. There is nothing of value in this show, but CNN insists in having it on in their top spot.

Hey, great diction…really love the word “snags” in the headline. That’s what the divers did years ago when they were looking for Wood.

I rember that horrible joke that was around when she died.

“What is the only type of wood that does not float…,”(yes, it was sick then and it still is!)

This is all about a man (and maybe a sister too) seeking his/her 15 mins of fame…and a little fortune to go with it.

How can I get word to Lana. Natalie came through while I was channeling my dead son through a medium friend of mine and she has info she wants to relay.
