Splendour Captain Dennis Davern Pens Impassioned Open Letter

Dated April 12 and ending with the words 'I believe Natalie Wood was murdered.'

The one-page handwritten document, dated April 12 and shared exclusively this week by Radar Online, is from Dennis Davern, captain of the ship one tragically fateful Thanksgiving 1981 weekend in Santa Catalina and co-author of the 2009 book that helped re-open the investigation into Natalie Wood’s death.

One of the big issues for Davern and co-author Marti Rulli is Wagner’s refusal to fully cooperate with the re-opened investigation. From Davern’s letter:
