Bombshell: Natalie Wood Feared Hubby RJ Hours Before Death, Boat Captain Claims

Davern told Fatal Voyage he explained to Wagner, “You know, your wife is asking me to get her off this boat, and I feel like I need to, because things aren’t looking good here.”

“So, Natalie and I, we got in the dinghy. Because of the way he was acting. When I took Natalie ashore, she was like hysterical. And we went to a motel. Natalie and I, we sat there and we talked, and talked, and talked. I mean, we talked about so many things.”

“I mean, she wanted to get off of the island. She wanted to call her sister.”

“She talked about leaving Robert Wagner. And I was [like], ‘Oh, my God. I can’t believe all this is happening.’”

“And so the next morning, Natalie, she wanted to call and see about getting a seaplane. Well, she couldn’t get a seaplane, for some reason.”

Instead, they rejoined Wagner and Walken on the boat — and hours later, Wood was gone.

The 12-part audio documentary Fatal Voyage is the culmination of years of dogged investigative reporting by a team of journalists lead by host Dylan Howard.

In the first five chapters, now available for download on iTunes, the podcast probed Natalie’s meteoric rise from child star to red carpet royalty, as well as her first marriage to fellow actor Wagner, now 88, their divorce in 1962, and then reunion and second marriage ten years later.

Police have named Wagner a “person of interest” in Wood’s reopened case, and cops have confirmed to Fatal Voyage that evidence points to the possibility of “foul play.”
