>> you are saying that wagner did not do everythinge should have done to look for her after she went missing? >> exactly. >> was he responsible for her death in some way? >> well, like i said, i think we all made mistakes that night and -- >> that wasn't my question. was he responsible for her death? i'm not asking about your answer. >> yes, i would say so, yes. >> robert wagner said he supports the investigation. let me send you to the sheriff's department. >> the morning of november 29th, miss wood somehow ended up in the water and drowned. at the time of the incident, it was investigated by us, the l.a. county sheriff's department and the coroner's office. her death was ruled an accident. as a homicide bureau for the los angeles county sheriff's department issue we are always open to receiving additional

information about older cases as well as current cases. we assess that information and deem it to be credible or reliable and if so, we are not opposed to acting upon it. recently we received information which we felt was substantial enough to make us take another look at the case. the case has been assigned to two sheriffs homicide investigators who will be following up on the additional information as well as any other information that may develop. any questions? >> is robert wagner a suspect? >> no. >> [inaudible]. >> i'm not really going to comment on the type of information we have whether the evidence or the statements we are geting for people. >> is someone coming forward on what he told you recently?

>> we have sources with additional information. we found it to be credible enough to go ahead and take a look at the case. >> is it more than just what happened? >> anybody else? >> is it an ongoing investigation? by your criteria would you go by whether the investigation is going on at this point in this investigation? do you rule out that she was murdered? >> her death was ruled an accident. an accidental drowning. that's what it is. if our investigation at the end of it points to something else, then we will address that. right now her death is an accidental drowning. >> can you rule out murder at this point in your investigation? >> it was determined to be an accidental drowning, but the information we received made us want to take another look at the case. >> [inaudible]. . we planning to?

planning to go to hawaii and take a look at the boat? we will go wherever the investigation will take us. >> you said on national tv that they lied to the investigators. will they face charges for lying to police officers? >> we will talk to the captain sooner or later and we will assess what happened then and now. >> most of us probably learned about it yesterday and you are talking about someone who suddenly recalls what happened 30 years ago at the same time a book is being released. >> she asking about someone remembering things from 30 years ago and a book being written. i'm not concerned with the book. that's not our concern. having already just the media attention we received already on this that we generated calls and people who have remembered things from back then or didn't

talk to the police and now want to tell their story, already people are coming forward and want to talk to us. >> why wasn't there a more extensive investigation in 1981? >> i'm not saying there wasn't. i'm saying it's substantial enough to make us want to take another look at the case. you concerned about the timing that it's something media-related and an independent investigation? >> that seems inconsequential to us. we are not concerned with the anniversary date. it may have jarred other people's memories and they came forward with the investigation. that may have been the timing and why it relates to that. . >> [inaudible]. . >> isn't it standard procedure to tell them you are reopening an investigation. you saying he was not contacted. >> isn't it standard providure

to notify the family? >> we are just starting to reinvestigate the case. sooner or later we will contact his family. [inaudible] >> we are doing what we do. we will follow-up on the leads we have and reinterview some people and new people. talk to people and reevaluate the evidence. >> you say there was a possibility that it was not an accident. is that a possibility? >> like i said, her death was ruled accidental drowning and that's what it is until we find something that says it isn't. until that time it's an accidental drowning. [inaudible] >> is there a possibility that it wasn't an accident? >> we are not afraid to get new information we deem to be credible and we go out there and act upon it. that's what we are doing.

>> does the information conflict with the information they had 30 years ago when they made that determination? >> i won't comment on that and what the information is. >> [inaudible]. >> we want to talk to you f. you saw something lack then and have information back in 1981, give us a call at the sheriff's headquarters. >> will christopher walkin be interviewed? >> i won't comment who can and can't be talked to. you can speculate on that, but i won't talk about who we will talk to. >> just a clarification. outside do you have additional information or people coming forward? >> she is asking about in addition to the captain. i won't comment on who told us what. >> is it possible --

[inaudible]. >> i won't comment on that. i won't get into that. >> [inaudible]. >> whatever is available to us, we will use, yes. >> [inaudible]. can you confirm that once you present a case it's solely based on someone's recollection? >> i'm not saying we are basing the case on that, but it helps if the people know something to give us a call. we will evaluate what they had to say and if we find it credible and reliable, we may use it or disregard it. >> any chance natalie wood's body will be exhumed? >> i don't know if we will do that or not.

>> will they face charges? >> will you make an arrest? >> this right now is an accidental drowning. that's what it is. just the information we have, we felt it was responsible to follow-up on it and that's what we are doing. >> if someone admits they lied, could they face charges if i said i lied to you 30 years ago, could i face charges as a captain who said he lied to investigator investigators? >> if they are inhibiting the investigation they could be possibly, yes. >> he admitted on national television today he lied to investigators 30 years ago. >> i'm not going to comment if we are planning on arresting anyone. we want to talk to people and follow-up on the information we have in the further investigation. >> you won't say? >> i won't talk about who we talked to. >> how does this affect his credibility in the investigation? >> i'm not going to comment on

his credibility. that's okay. that's it. thank you very much. thank you. >> there you have it. as intriguing as the breaking news is, the los angeles county sheriff's department is reopening the investigation into what happened to natalie wood. the press conference would probably leave many of you stymied. our press reporter and syndicated talk show host, michael, the news broke last night and they are opening the investigation. this lieutenant holds a press conference to say i can't tell you this and i can't tell you why we are reopening it, but can you tell me if we are wasting our time? what's going on? >> i felt the same way. what can you tell us? here's what i can tell you. i didn't find the boat captain to be that impressive on the "today" show. if that's all they've got, you wonder if it warrants what we just heard. they have to pursue a lead when

somebody steps forward and said robert wagner was responsible for her death. that is what the guy said after david asked him about 50 questions. >> he wrote a book and he said he is not in it for the moneyy. let me present the statement. he said he fully supports the efforts of the county sheriff's department and evaluate whether new information resulted to the death of natalie wood wagner is valid and it comes from a credible source of those trying to profit from the 30-year anniversary of her tragic death. this woman died at the top of her career at only 43 years old. she has a lot of fans in her age group or what would have been her age group and younger fan who is have seen westside story over and over. this lieutenant is saying they are not facing it on this yacht captain and there several sources. what can you tell us? >> there a couple of key points out of the press conference.

this is still an accidental drowning. number two, several sources with credible information that led them to reopen the case. also that these particular sources have obviously triggered something for them to be able to say okay, we will move forward in this direction and need to uncover this or explore something. also robert wagner is not a suspect. there no suspects in the case. i spoke with the coroner's office and mr. white pulled up the original police report and went over the timeline. between 10:00 and 10:30 on november 29th, they were all seen leaving a restaurant and there was alcohol involved. around 11:45, the last time she was seen alive. around 1:30, robert wagner road in a call for help. at 7:44 a.m., that's when her body was found about 200 miles north of where the dinghy was found in the water.

these are the facts and we know she drowned and we know that there was alcohol in her blood stream. >> robert wagner and natalie wood and the boat captain you referred to. let me play what else in that interview on today. >> we all had our story to tell the homicide detectives at the time. that's the story i told. >> you agreed with robert wagner to tell what he wanted you to tell and not the truth? >> yes. >> would it be foolish, your expertise makes you question the credibility of this guy. the sheriff's department knows when they came out today all eyes and ears would be on them. they stand the chance of looking sill fe they don't bring more information here. >> right, but they are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't. regardless of what i may think of the credibility of that

individual this morning, if you have somebody step forward and say i lied at the time, they have to take a second look. >> they do. >> i will get you to stand by and thank you very much. we want to update the audience on penn state. yet another coach at a different university is accused of sexual abuse. two men are accusing assistant coach bernie fine of molesting them for years. it started when they were ball boys at the university. they are step brothers and one is 39 and said it began in 1984. his claim is it continued until he was 27. fine denies the allegations. syracuse was first contacted about the allegations in 2005 and they conducted an investigation and determined the allegations were unfounded. the official said syracuse city police declined to pursue the matter because then the statute

of limitations had run out. the penn state case may be a federal case. federal prosecutors and fbi agents necessary pennsylvania because of allegations that jerry sandusky crossed state lines to commit child abuse. michael smerconish is sticking around to talk about it. it is a federal investigation. sandusky according to the allegations may have taken boys to at least two bowl games. the alamo bow specifically. where does it stand? it's almost two weeks into this. >> it's interesting that penn state is finally trying to engage themselves in a public relations response. i published something that goes back in time and said you know, it all just department hit the fan two weeks ago today with the arrest of sandusky. six months ago the patriot news in harrisburg ran a story on the front page and said a grant jury has been at work investigating

this legendary coach. the point being, they really appear flatfooted in their response in terms of the handling of the president. in terms of handling of joe paterno and offering any explanation. they had six months to try to get together some kind of a strategy and now they are hiring according to advertising age the organization out of new york to provide that role. it's too little, too late, but they are trying to get ahead of the curve. >> they officially made rod erickson the 17th president. he was the interim president at the beginning of the scandal and now he is officially the president of the university and perhaps he can help transition them into a better way to handle this publicly. more information will continue to come out on this. thank you very much. two big breaking stories. thanks, michael. a new report from "the washington post" said a think tank founded by newt gingrich

requiring an insurance policy. democratic strategist and comcast network and reporter from the "wall street journal." let's start off with this report. it sounds like rick perry said first you were for it and now you are against it. with newt gingrich, if mitt romney is say flip flopper, what is he? >> that will abe big issue. if nude will be the anti-romney, he has to present himself as something different. if mitt romney's problems are these accusations of flip flopping. he doesn't make a good stand in. this health care thing, i don't think it's a huge political deal. and it's not the bookie man others should be. he doesn't have the issue that the friendy mac issue has.

newt gingrich called for all politicians to return money given to them by freddie mac. that's something else. if he's railing against the plan and against having a mandate in his think tank and saying anyone making over $50,000 should be required to have the insurance coverage, that would be very different than what he is saying now and not music to the ears of conservatives that are helping him move up in the polls. >> newt gingrich admitted when mitt romney cornered him and said you supported the mandate, he agreed with that. in the 1990s, he was supporting the individual mandate and that goes well into the 2000s. >> i want to play a new play on newt when he was demanding that

i needed it. why else would you take it? >> he can say i took it because i believe in the cause and he can say what is the cause you believe in and why did you take this money and what advice did you get? he needs to be more transparent. >> they wanted sarah palin to run because she had so many holes in her resume. what democrats are itching to see a showdown with newt gingrich? >> i love it. it not only doesn't pass the smell test, but doesn't pass the laugh test. this is the worst kept secret in washington. newt inc. has been in business for years since he left the speaker's office. he tried to get money and the money that he was a high thinker and a speaker and author is nonsense. he really cashed in on his time as speaker and made a living out of it. nothing wrong with that, but the

about that and the super committee. we will tart out with this vote. >> reporter: to put a measure forward to change the constitution, you need more than the average number of votes. you need 2/33 and they were short by 23 votes. this is a major objective that said they balance their own books and democrats say it would potentially cut from social programs at a time when the country would be in dire straights now. in years to come. it fell short. those who are on the republican side and opposed it said it is an excuse to give lawmakers a chance not to do their own job. some say it's too big of a change to make that happen. speaker boehner said it shows the democrats don't really want to cut the budget deficit and that's going to be a political talking point going forward. >> all right, kelly.

there is a new poll out that shows 85% of registered voters are not confident that a deal will be reached in time by the super committee. they are feeling the pressure again, but you have all of these reports out that this deadline doesn't mean anything and the cuts would not take effect for a long time and people are looking for ways to get around it. >> the expectations have been softened so much for members as well as the public you pointed out. it gives people a sense that nothing will get done. they are shuttling between offices and talking about working on a deal and promising to go through the weekend if necessary. there is talk bubbling up about a fall back position and a plan b that republicans would like to see. democrats are not buying into it. it would take off the table taxes and cuts to the most cherished entitlement programs and sort of take the hot button issues away. that's one of the ideas floating.

they are meeting and talking and results are hard to find. >> it's interesting when you talk about plan b and c when this was supposed to be an explosive deadline. thank you very much. we will see what the weekend brings. this sunday by the way on "meet the press," david gregory has interviews with two senators, john kerry of massachusetts and sunday on "meet the press." the fda made a decision on a drug that some breast cancer patients have been waiting for for months is revoking approval of avastin that some patients say saved their lives. the chief science and health correspond ept joent and we hea sides. >> the decision is what three expert panels and a lot of studies concluded. avastin does not work. it's doesn't do more good than

harm. even though there emotional anecdotes with women who have advanced cancer saying it helped them, the fda decided it had to go with the expert opinion. we have to point out that avastin is the most financially successful cancer drug ever. it's also about $88,000 a year. it remains for colon, kidney and brain cancer. those approvals stay? place. it just has to do with breast cancer. >> we talk about the emotional side. we saw women weeping when they testified about the drug saving their lives. as i understand it, it will remain on the market for treatment of other types of cancer and doctors can suze it off label for breast cancer, but insurers may not cover it and that can be $88,000 a year. >> that's the issue. does the fda with science or the emotion of the anecdotal stories? this happened because the fda gave approval in 2008 under the

condition that a lot of people wanted it so they put it on the market and wait for the studies to see how effective it was for breast cancer. when the studies came back showing it wasn't effective in large groups, you haveanecdotes. >> could there be more testing and trials? >> absolutely. it's possible down the road there will be genetic testing developed to see which patients are actually candidates for the drug. right now for most women it doesn't work. >> thank you very much. a big decision from the fda and a lot of women will be talking about it. the democratic national committee filed a massive freedom of information action for records in mitt romney's tenure in massachusetts. at the same time romney's presidential campaign is requesting records of correspondence between president obama and current massachusetts governor duval patrick. all of this follows a boston

globe report that staffers sought to wipe their electronic records clean before leaving office. boston globe political reporter mike viszer broke the story and thank you so much for joining me. let's start with your report and what you uncovered with romney staffer when is he was governor. >> for all starts at the tail end of his term as governor in 2006. in late 2006 as he gets ready to leave office, 11 of his aides performed 17 hard drives. in some cases they performed their own and some n some cases more than one. this was as he was leaving office. they have said some of those people that we have reached said it was legal for them to do this. it was state property they wrote checks for the property. >> it included e-mails sent and

received. what would be on those? first of all, what would be the reason someone would purchase to take these hard drive fist this was company or state property. >> it's hard to say. the romney campaign and the people that we have been able to reach that performed the property have not said specifically why they performed it. speculation as to why they would. the dnc's request is asking for the e-mails that falls under the massachusetts law where it doesn't fall under the public records law. a lot of e-mails would not be made public. the distinction here is that they cannot be destroyed. >> in the request from romney's team, the e-mails they say they would like to see from duval patrick's office are interactions with david axelrod and those on the list.

>> the three people that romney's chief of staff filed that public records request to the state. that came after the initial story where they were seeking information about duval patrick. they are both former duval patrick advisers too. you expect communication, but they are looking for more detail about these types of communications over president obama. >> your report had a lost requests and filings and it may turn up more. great report. thank you for joining us. mass evacuations in reno, nevada from a raging wildfire tops our look at stories about 9500 people have been forceed from homes in the path passion of this fire. so far 20 homes have been lost and several people have been sent to the hospital for smoke inhalation. high winds are mayking it tough
