Lt. John Corina of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s homicide division told The National ENQUIRER in an exclusive interview about the troubling new information — which was unearthed after the L.A. Coroner's Office had changed the cause of Natalie's 1981 death from "accidental drowning" to "drowning and other undetermined factors." (As earlier covered by The ENQUIRER, Natalie's initial autopsy was marked by charges of incompetence and a cover-up.)

In the never-reported incident before her 1981 drowning, Natalie was observed fighting with her husband while off Catalina Island. “There were people who were moored or docked by their boat,” Lt. Corina said “and heard and saw what was going on." The investigator added that that witnesses reported a confrontation that “wasn’t good — it seemed tense.”

Natalie died while she and Wagner were entertaining Christopher Walken aboard their 60-foot yacht Splendour off California’s Catalina Island. While Wagner has admitted arguing with Walken the night of the tragedy, he claimed Natalie left them and went to the yacht’s master cabin. Her body was later found in the water.

Investigators reopened the case in 2011 — the same year that that Splendour’s captain, Dennis Davern, passed a lie detector test given to him by authorities in which he implicated Wagner in Natalie’s death. Author Marti Rull reported that Davern was also asked about an argument: "The police asked if a terrible argument occurred during the last 15 minutes that she was alive, and he said yes."

Lt. Corina also confirmed to The ENQUIRER that Walken — who is not a suspect in the case — was quick to sit down with detectives in 2013. Without providing details of that interview, the police official said: “That was more cooperation than we got from Robert Wagner.”
