mr. wagner to a homicide? at this point, there doesn't appear to be.s not saying that over the course of investigation some things may not pop up but it was only ruled an accidental drowning. i do know for shurk according to the coroner's office, that there was alcohol in her bloodstream. as far as anything else goes, that is some things that will be uncovered during the investigation at this time. you have to ask, why 30 years later? why now? why thanksgiving weekend? on the anniversary, things come up, i can tell you that, that anniversaries especially surrounding cold cases and surrounding cases for a long time, people do come out and they start to remember things. and so at this time i think investigators are looking into reopening the case, taking the facts and reinterviewing people and see what they come up with. >> so in part of the reinterviewing process, does this mean that they will talk with christopher watkin and robert wagner again? >> i'm sure they will. they are really the only ones to link to this investigation. so how could you do this

mr. wagner and his people defended it. in hindsight perhaps some of those criticisms, some of the suggestions that gmu to go in a different direction were heeded they thought change rather than embraced it. ford motor company was a smaller version of gm and, operational operationally, same kind of structured, same kind of global strategy. but the difference, controlled by the ford family, from the legendary henry ford. so they could make some adjustments based on their leadership, which at the time was bill ford junior, henry ford's great-grandson. bill ford after becoming ceo learned pretty quickly that his company was having the same kind of troubles as gm, and in what i would call a very admirable decision on his part, decided to look for answers outside of detroit, begin looking at other auto executives for foreign makers, such as daimlerchrysler and nissan, perhaps hire their ceos to come in to ford and bring fresh ideas. ultimately, he went way outside the auto industry to the boeing corporation and recruited alan th

mr. wagner and this contractor friend called me and said b*urt has another job for you. i said okay. where is it? it's in a co-op building. i said make sure he finds out first if there's any restrictions on the chemicals we're allowed to use because the petroleum based products work a lot better. if you really want to do the nice job, you want the petroleum products but they put off vapors. he owns properties. he knows what the game is. he knows that you've got to check this stuff out. so i got a call back from the contractor. oh, burt looked into it, no restriction on chemicals. okay. great. we're both kind of getting hosed here. what happened was he made a phone call. he didn't look into it that deeply. it was an innocent, kind of honest mistake and somebody said use whatever you want. >> i don't think anybody is mad at the product -- well, i guess it stunk up the joint. excuse me. did i breathe and give everyone the impression i was done with my sentence? wow. it's like dinner at my household. okay. i think the displeasure is not about whether you used the smelly chemical or didn'

of country risks solutions daniel wagner thank you very much mr wagner for being with us there in the u.s. let's talk about china obviously a significant member of a pack currently looking like the country that's really shoring up the world economy is in moment by holding so much u.s. debt do you think there's already been a major shift in global economic power. it seems pretty clear with each passing a packet vent and other events on the global stage that china is really in the driver's seat in many respects and this is coming at an awkward time for the united states because the united states is clearly a declining power at the same time and is having trouble adjusting to what that means at the same time china is having a bit of a challenge adjusting to what it means to be a truly global player and it has in the past not really lived up to some of the expectations of some other of the world powers and it is finding its own footing in that regard of course so when we talk about china we should discount the likes of the other brics countries brazil and russia getting a much larger voic

mr. wagner then come to you by himself.ogether the time line here because it is very important with the investigation. >> well, i went to him because when i heard the silence or when it got silent, i thought that maybe they had stopped arguing so i waited for about ten minutes, and then i went to the aft deck and that's when robert wagner told me to search the boat that natalie was missing. >> well, you said it was silent for a while. i thought you said that you had the music up and you couldn't hear what was going on. >> no. the arguing -- well, could you hear the arguing. i just had the music turned up to where i wouldn't actually hear what they were saying. i didn't want them to think that i was eavesdropping on their personal life. >> but it was loud enough for you to hear from them on the aft deck all the way with you up in the bridge, it was that loud? >> oh, yeah. yes. because the difference between the bridge and the aft deck and their state room is the floor on the bridge is really the ceiling in their state room.

mr. wagner was guilty. >> here is the interesting part.os angeles has reopened the investigation. the question is why? the book that he wrote was 2 years old. he wrote a book about his version of events a couple years ago, didn't go anywhere, and hi and his cowriter have been pressuring this, trying to get the case open. what are the new leads? what does he ultimately say in this interview, and it took a while, that wagner lied, he lied, they basically covered up the real story. bottom line is they had a bad fight. robert wagner and natalie wood had a fight, the result of which he says was her death. i won't explain exactly how, now that she was pushed over, but when she falls, when she goes missing, his charge this morning is wagner basically says we're not going to look real hard for her. doesn't use the big searchlight. >> what's that mean? what's the implication? >> well, the implication is that presumably the more charitable view is wagner was saying, look, i don't know where she is is, but she's afraid of the water, maybe she went to

mr. wagner was guilty. >> well, here's the interesting.ffice in los angeles has re-opened the investigation. the question is, why? the book that davern wrote was two years old. he wrote a book about his version of events. a couple years ago. didn't go anywhere. he and his co-writer have been pressuring this trying to get the case re-opened. what are the new leads? what does he ultimately say in this interview, and it took a while to get out of him, wagner lied that he lied, they covered up the big story. they had a bad fight, robert wagner and natalie had a fight. the result of which davern says was her death. he didn't say pushed over by wagner or specifically murdered but when she falls, when she goes missing, his charge this morning is, wagner basically says, we're not going to look real hard for her. doesn't use the big search light. >> what does that mean? >> doesn't use the big search light. >> what's the implication? >> the implication is presumably the more charitable view is wagner was saying, look, i don't know where she is, but

and robert wagner asked him not to. >> i want to stop at that point. mr. rn, wagner said not to. not to take direct steps that could help identify where natalie wood was. had she fallen off the boat. that's what you're saying. >> yes, we didn't take any steps to see if we could locate her. >> do you have any evidence, any information to say that there was foul play, that this was murder, that he was responsible for her being pushed off the boat? or was it a matter of him simply saying we're not going to look too hard? >> i think it was a matter of we're not going to look too hard. we're not going to turn on the search light, we're not going to notify anybody right at the moment. >> you never told the police that at the time, did you? >> no. >> why not? >> well, because we all had -- we all had our story to tell the homicide detectives at the time. and that's the story i told. >> so you agreed with robert wagner to tell a story he wanted you to tell and not the truth. >> yes. >> why should anyone believe you now, when you didn't tell the truth then? >> well,

mr. wagner looking for natalie wood. what can investigators gleam from this kind of information and how do they proceed from here? >> they'll have to reopen the whole thing, fred. he went on further to say that basically everybody on the boat got his story toofrgether to te investigators. were they not be truthful and that led to the coroner ruling it an accident? that is going to be the main key, the key thing here because, you know, her body was found about a mile away from the boat early next morning and the dinghy was found washed up on the beach. and she had some bruising to the left side of her face, which the coroner said he believes she got from slipping as she was trying to get into the dinghy after this big fight. so, anybody who was there, they're going to try to bring anybody who knew anything in the original investigation. they're going to have to reinterview them and this boat captain, he's going to be one of the key figures in the reopening of this investigation by the l.a. sheriff's department. >> so, the

mr. wagner and ms. the cause of why she separated from this group. >> reporter: the actress had prescriptions for two sorts of pain killers, but said further tests would reveal whether these drugs were in her system. the results of these last tox logical investigates will be made public in a few days. robert weiner, cable news network, los angeles. >> that was back in 1981, 30 years later, investigators have reopened that case. the captain of the boat was on nbc this morning, he said, "i made mistakes by not telling the honest truth in a police report." david gregory also asked, was the fight between natalie wood and her husband, robert wagner what led to her death and he said, yes. >> police won't say they reopened the case of davern. he reacheditute the wagner family for a statement and they said they trust the los angeles sheriff department to evaluate any new information and that the information come from a source or sources other than those tries to profit from the 30-year anniversary of natalie woo

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 th
