Wood's sister: It's like reliving Natalie's death

By Courtney Hazlett

The family of Robert Wagner "fully supports" the investigation into Natalie Wood's accidental drowning, 30 years later. As for the family of Natalie Wood -- specifically her sister Lana -- she told TODAY's Matt Lauer Monday that she has mixed feelings about the investigation into Natalie's death being reopened. "I'm scared, I'm nervous, I'm happy, I think. I'm so ambivalent. It's almost like having to relive her death again," Lana said.

Lana told Lauer that she spent the last 30 years since Natalie's death preferring to believe that her death aboard the boat the Splendour with Wagner was really just an accident, as it was ruled shortly after it happened. "It's been easier that way," Lana said, despite things not adding up. "You want to think the best."

The Splendour's captain Dennis Davern told David Gregory during a Nov. 18 interview on TODAY that the fight between Natalie and Wagner is what led to Natalie's drowning. To that assertion, Lana told Lauer that the captain had called her "many many years ago," suggesting there was more to the story, and that he was very upset "and trying to unburden himself."

Davern went on to assert during that Nov. 18 interview that no effort was made to search for Natalie after she was lost overboard. "Unfortunately, I do believe him," Lana told Lauer.
