New witnesses have emerged in the 1981 drowning of actress Natalie Wood, prompting investigators to deem it a "suspicious death" and name her former husband, 87-year-old actor Robert Wagner, a "person of interest," Los Angeles sheriff's officials said Thursday. She was on a yacht with Wagner, actor Christopher Walken and the boat captain on Thanksgiving weekend of 1981. The sheriff's department said Wagner is considered a person of interest. Wagner has denied any involvement in his wife's death and no charges have been filed. Wood, Wagner and Walken had all been drinking heavily in the hours before the actress disappeared.
