Robert Wagner “deserves to be arrested” for the death of Natalie Wood — says Dennis Davern, who served as skipper of the Hollywood couple's yacht Splendour, and was one of the last people to see the screen legend alive!

In a bombshell letter, Dennis pleaded with homicide detectives for the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department to arrest Wagner — while also telling The National ENQUIRER that he passed a police-administered polygraph test where he accused Wagner of being a cold-blooded killer! Among the damning statements in the April 12 letter, obtained by The ENQUIRER, is this chilling passage: “I know what RJ [Wagner’s nickname] did to Natalie. There’s plenty of evidence, but the higher-ups are stalling in seeking justice for a woman who deserves it.”

For the first time, Dennis — seen in exclusive photos taking detectives on a tour of the Splendour — has also revealed details of the explosive polygraph, as police reopened the homicide investigation into the “West Side Story” star’s death. “When detectives had me hooked up to their polygraph test equipment, I was asked, ‘Did Robert Wagner murder Natalie Wood?’” Dennis told The ENQUIRER. “I answered, ‘Yes’ — and I passed!”

Dennis has directly implicated Wagner in Natalie’s mysterious death, saying the actor flew into a violent rage aboard the Splendour — accusing Natalie of having an affair with her “Brainstorm” co-star Christopher Walken, who was also on board that night. "Natalie and Christopher had continued to giggle," Davern recently told CBS News, "and then Robert Wagner picked up the bottle of wine and smashed it!"

“The last expression I saw on her face,” Davern told The ENQUIRER, “was pure humiliation as she stormed off to her stateroom.” Natalie's body would later be found in the waters off Catalina Island — with witnesses later coming forward to say that they clearly heard the doomed actress crying for help!

Natalie's death was ruled an “accidental drowning,” but the bungled police investigation was reopened in 2011. The cause of death was changed to “drowning and other undetermined factors” due to bruises on her body. In his letter to authorities, Dennis wrote that when Natalie’s lifeless body was discovered in the water, “I saw the bruises.” But, the skipper said, Wagner convinced him to stay quiet “to spare Natalie’s daughter.”

“That was the worst mistake I ever made,” Dennis told The ENQUIRER. “As a witness to that horrible night, I believe Natalie was murdered. The detectives never questioned my credibility. It’s only been questioned by the fans that the Wagner family continue to dupe!”
