Wagner’s Bad Timing

Robert Wagner played a suspected murderer on “NCIS” last night, just days after the Los Angeles police department announced it has reopened its investigation into the 1981 drowning death of Natalie Wood, who was then Wagner’s wife. Wagner returned to his recurring role as Anthony DiNozzi Sr., who was suspected of murder after he woke up with no memory of the previous night and a dead woman in the trunk of his car. The Los Angeles sheriff’s department said last week Wagner is not a suspect in Wood’s death. Wood was 43 when she died while boating off Santa Catalina Island with Wagner and her “Brainstorm” co-star Christopher Walken. Her death was ruled an accidental drowning.
