natalie wood floating. i just couldn't believe it. >> reporter: natalie's death was quickly ruled an accidental drowning. but rumors and allegations of foul play remachblt the captain claims there was a terrible fight between natalie and wagner outside on the back of the boat that night. >> i believe that robert wagner was with her up until the moment she went into the water. >> reporter: 30 years later in 2011. de-vern and over seven others signed a petition asking the los angeles county sheriff's department to take a new look. the case was reopened. lieutenant corina and ralph hernandez have been doggedly working it since. >> have you gotten more evidence

wagner. what's the difference between a person of interest and a suspect. >> he has never been a sprpt and is not now. what he is a person of interest. they're calling it that for the very first time because they believe this is a suspicious death and they gather he was the last person to see her alive. they also say his accounts over the years just don't match the evidence they've gathered and the witnesses. i think the biggest example is what i mentioned in the piece. wagner said they did not have a fight before she disappeared and for a long time it was just the ship's captain who said it. now geerts say they have two witnesses who claim they heard the fight and one with witness says she saw it. his story has changed over the years. initially there was broken glass from a wine bot the salon. he told investigators it was broken because of rough waters. later he admitted as part of a fight inside the salon.

>> do you have any understanding why they're coming forward now? >> it was called an accident. according to investigators, they thought it wouldn't help. why one has credibility specific look i on a friday night, one witness say the fight the night before. he said it was natalie -- natalie wood being the aggressor, and she fell on her knee and sure enough in the a autopsy report there's a bruise on her knee. so they find these new accounts acceptable and credible. >> thank you very much. thank you very much, erin moriari moriarity. you can see erin's report at 10:00 p.m., 9:00 central right here on cbs. a number of companies are accused of selling fake twitter followers. how this is compromising te ini

hospitalized has been released but an aide to paul ryan is being treated. >> one of the largest health systems in the country and now it's imcomplimenting a one-of-a-kind biosurveillance system to combat the deadly influenza outbreak. >> sentencing focuses on nassar's abuse of three girls in another county. over the neck few days at least 60 victims are expected to give impact statements. >> megan barry and a police sergeant assigned to protect her both said they did not violate laws and calls the affair a mistake. >> vermont senator bernie sanders live streamed his response to the state of the union and surprisingly the 76-year-old man had problems with the computer. his live stream went down for several minutes and replaced bay screen saying we'll be back momentarily. a picture of the capitol building with a technical difficulties message, little on the nose.

i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell and john dickerson. republicans on the house intelligence committee are now accused of changing a classified memo after voting to make it public. the four-page memo from committee chairman devin nunes claims there was inappropriate surveillance of the trump campaign by the fbi and the justice department. >> the committee's top democrat congressman adam schiff claims gop staffers secretly altered the text before giving it to white house lawyers. paula reid is at fbi headquarters in washington. paula, good morning. >> good morning. we don't know if the president has actually reviewed this memo yet or which version he received. now republicans say the changes that were made were minor edits including some grammatically fixing and two changes requested by the fbi. but democrats refute that and say the changes were not minor and demanding that this memo be withdrawn and that the committee be allowed to revote on whether this new, altered memo should be

released. norah? >> paula, detail why the justice department is worried about this memo getting out? >> i've talked to sources inside the fbi and justice department, folks who have served multiple administrations and it's pretty consistent across the board, they all believe that this is part of a thinly veiled attempt to undermine mueller by trying to focus attention on federal investigators and federal law enforcement as the real scandal. because remember this memo focuses on deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. he is overseeing the mueller probe and he has final approval on any charges that are brought. so if you can undermine him, you ultimately undermine the outcome of the mueller investigation. john? >> all right. >> paula, thanks. cbs news senior national security analyst fran townsend served 13 years in the justice department, homeland security adviser to president george w. bush. fran, good morning. >> good morning. >> in terms of what the fbi is saying here at one point there were questions about whether sources and methods in the intelligence would be revealed and then the fbi said after

looking at the memo the fbi said we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact. is the fbi saying that sources and methods are in danger or just that the memo has bad information in it? >> it's both. what they're saying is both. they are concerned about sources and methods, part of that, john, is for them to rebut what is the contents of the nunes would require them to reveal sources and methods. their hands are tied. we have to remember the nunes memo is an advocacy piece, not a fact piece. chairman nunes' summary of what he believes the abuses are, but it's for that reason, it's one sided. my understanding from sources inside the fbi director wray is prepared -- if the white house decides to release the memo director wray is prepared to issue a rebuttal. the question is what will that contain and does that tee up a confrontation between the white house and the fbi. >> that's exxroerdoerds, the fb

director may release an alternative memo, why would they want to do that and what's the importance of that? >> they're under fire and in fairness to the fbi, i mean, what they're -- they feel under siege, this is the tearing down of a respected institution. look, institutions are made of people, right, and people make mistakes. i'm not suggesting they've never made a mistake. but, understand what this process is. i ran this unit in the justice department that got this fisa warrant. there is multiple internal reviews in the fbi, there's a legal review at the justice department goeshgs to the attorney general or in this case the deputy who reviews it and then an independent federal judge who looks at it. no fisa warrant relies on a single piece of evidence. if the allegations from chairman nunes they relied on the steele dossier that's not possible. there would have been multiple pieces of evidence. >> in other words one partisan or bad apple inside cannot make a fisa warrant become -- call it surveillance. >> that's exactly right. it doesn't work that way.

and i think, you know, look, if chairman nunes wants to have his memo released i don't understand if he's confident why wouldn't you release adam schiff the democrat's response to that and have it all out there then. >> the white house press secretary sarah sanders has said that president has confidence in the fbi director and the rank and file. but you know when you're a little kid and your mom says actions speak louder than words do the president's actions tell a different story about the confidence he has in the fbi. >> my mother used to say, i don't like the act but i love the person. i mean it's possible that president respects chris wray director of the fbi but disagrees with some of the actions there. but i do think that this acrimony, public acrimony only benefits our adversaries. the president and the fbi will have to find a path forward where they can work together and it's not clear they're doing that. >> can you give us context on mccabe? there is these reports they delayed after seeing the renew

badge of hillary clinton -- batch of hillary clinton e-mails they delayed before handing it over to congress. department of justice, fbi procedure to be sensitive about things that might affect the outcome of an election. if there was a delay is that sinister or the normal prudence and caution they would have taken. >> >> you're right. there is justice department internal guidelines not to take public action that may affect the outcome of an election when you get close. my understanding here from sources inside the fbi was initially they believed there might have been as many as 600,000 e-mails, some of which may have been classified and there would have had to have been a process to review that. we know now there weren't that many. you can understand them treading cautiously and legally frankly and did they need to get a warrant, additional search warrants to touch those e-mails and review them. were they classified. so look, i think we shouldn't attribute malice where it might have just been bureaucratic

caution. >> there is -- we always hear about public fatigue but this is important what is happening and we need to get to the bottom of it. >> thank you. always good to have you here. thank you so much. >> a north korean defector praised by president trump during his state of the union address is talking about the cruelty of the regime in pyongyang. he traveled thousands of miles on crutches across asia to find freedom. his father was caught trying to escape and tortured to death. ji shared his story with david martin. >> translator: the conditions while i was growing up in north korea were like hell. i saw tens of thousands of people die out of hunger and i still get haunted by the face of those people who died. i really came to the sole conclusion that north korea is no longer a hospitable nation. >> what did it mean to be the guest of the president at the state of the union? >>. >> translator: it was my

absolute personal honor and i really was moved because i was not only a defector from north korea, but i had this ability and i once lived as a beggar, but now, i am in the capital of the united states, as a guest to president trump. >> ji lives in seoul, south korea, where he rescued other defectors. >> a member of britain's house of lords stunned fellow lawmakers and resigned after arriving late to the chamber. >> my lords with the leave of the house, i wonder if you permit me to offer my sincere apologies for mice discourtesy for not being in my place to answer her question on a very important matter at the beginning of questions. during the five years of which it's been my privilege to answer questions from this, on behalf of the government, i've always believed that we should offer -- rise to the highest possible standards of courtesy and respect. i'm ashamed at not being in my

place and therefore, i shall be offering my resignation to the prime minister. >> no! >> immediately. i do apologize. >> no! >> lord michael bates was supposed to take the first question in yesterday's session but was about two minutes late and missed it. bates' fellow lords urged him not to resign. a spokesperson for prime minister ter vee may agrees and she turned down the resignation. sense of shame and norms are alive in britain. >> no, no! >> quite a principled man. and some people say that was a little dramatic but you could see it really bothered him. >> is that a word, dra matcle? >> it's not. >> a lot of people -- it's not a word. >> checking for any kids watching. >> don't try that at home. >> do not try that at home. thank you, norah. an appeals court ordered a popular dating app tinder to stop discriminating against older users. depends on your definition of older. rikki klieman in our toyota

for the same service. an appellate court in california ruled the price structure is discriminatory. legal analyst rikki klieman is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> number one, i didn't know people older than 30 are using the app but, explain the legal -- >> i suppose we might at this table all be surprised about how many people over the age of 30 are using it. but what the california appeals court says is clear and simple. they say this is discrimination in pricing based on age. and why is that illegal in california? california is the broadest anti-discrimination statutes and what it says is this, you cans change your age. your age is you. it's the same as a sexual or jentation or gender or race. and the assumption you make more money than someone under 30 and that, therefore, you have more ability to pay is too big an

assumption. it's too much of a personal characteristic that is generalized because there are people who are exceptions to the rule. >> what does tinder say in response? >> tinder had a very good argument. you have to remember that tinder won in the trial court on the paperwork. this was in essence a motion to dismiss that the lawyers call a demurer. that in the trial court tinder wins, why, because tinder says look, we did market based research and we have a legitimate basis to say that there is a reason that people have more disposable income after the age of 30. and the trial court agreed. the appellate court said you're wrong under the act. but there's companies like spotify and hulu they offer discounts for younger customers. what's the -- >> it's fascinating. remember this ruling is only right now in california. it's not all over the united states. but, it is something to look at.
