Natalie Wood’s Sister Lana Wood Wants Robert Wagner to ‘Own What Happened’

When host Megyn Kelly asked Lana whether she believes Wagner murdered her sister, she steadfastly responded, “Yes.”

Lana also questioned Wagner, who has long maintained his innocence, for stating that he will not speak to police because of his age and failing memory. “How could something like that not be in your memory? That’s a traumatic, tragic thing,” she said.

The Diamonds Are Forever star told Kelly that her relationship with the Two and a Half Men alum was “almost nonexistent” during his marriage to her sister. “I would come to the house, but I would come to the house because Natalie and I had something planned. We were either going to do makeup or go shopping or run out to lunch or sit in the kitchen and gossip and do something. So I never really had a lot of interactions with him,” she said.

Lana said she confronted Wagner about a year ago at a bar in Palm Springs, California. “I had a waitress bring him a note saying, ‘R.J., it’s Lana. I really need to talk to you. I’ll sit here and wait,’” she said. Lana said Wagner finally came over about 45 minutes later and asked her, “Why don’t you talk to the police?” which left her “a little puzzled.”

Lana recently sat down for an exclusive interview with investigative journalist Dylan Howard for his podcast, “All Rise.” She revealed that Natalie “was terrified of water, going all the way back to when I was a kid and Natalie was a teen.” Lana also begged Wagner to “tell the truth for once and for all.”
