Natalie Wood death: New information is substantial, detective says

An L.A. County sheriff's homicide detective said Friday that new information investigators recently received about the 1981 death of actress Natalie Wood was substantial enough to cause them to reopen the case, but he said her husband, Robert Wagner, is not a suspect.

"As a homicide bureau, we are always open to receiving additional information about older cases and current cases," said Lt. John Corina. "If we receive information that we assess and deem credible or reliable, we are not opposed to reacting to it."

In answer to a question at a news conference at Sheriff's Department headquarters in Monterey Park, Corina reiterated that Wood's husband was not a suspect in her death off the coast of Catalina Island.

"Robert Wagner is not a suspect," he said.

He said several sources had come forward with new information that warranted "another look at the case."
