Official says Wagner not a suspect in Wood death
LOS ANGELES (AP) A Los Angeles County sheriff's detective says Robert Wagner is not a suspect in the 1981 death of his wife, actress Natalie Wood.
Lt. John Corina has told a press conference Friday that new information is substantial enough to take another look at the case.
Wood's body was found floating off Santa Catalina Island as the couple were on a boating excursion. The death was ruled an accidental drowning.
Corina was asked if Wagner is a suspect and the detective said no.

So if he's not a suspect, who is? Sounding more and more like hype to capitalize on the 30th anniversary, though I'm not sure why the sheriff's office would play along. Good excuse to break out all those old jokes, though!
What kind of wood doesn't float? Natalie Wood.
Knock knock. Who's there? Christopher Walken. Christopher Walken who? Christopher Walken away from the scene of the crime.
Why didn't Natalie Wood take a shower on the boat? She wanted to wash up on shore.
What did Robert Wagner say to Natalie? You can have a few drinks, but don't go overboard.
What did Dick Clark have that could have saved Natalie Wood? A good stroke.
Badoom boom! I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
