His wife, Jean Kasem, reveals to 48 HOURS her version of her husband’s final day and discusses a heated family feud.

10:00 PM ET/PT – 48 HOURS: “Natalie Wood: Death in Dark Water”

Nearly four decades after the unexplained drowning death of Hollywood star Natalie Wood, 48 HOURS talks with Los Angeles County sheriff’s investigators who have been doggedly chasing new witnesses, new clues and who say her then-husband, actor Robert Wagner, is a person of interest. Investigators want to speak with Wagner about the circumstances surrounding her death that night in 1981, they say in interviews for an encore of 48 HOURS: “Natalie Wood: Death in Dark Water” to be broadcast Saturday, July 4 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Wood drowned off the coast of Catalina Island in California in November 1981 after she went missing from the Splendour, her family’s yacht. Also aboard that night were Captain Dennis Davern, Wagner and Wood’s friend, fellow actor Christopher Walken. The next day, the actress was found floating in the water wearing a red down jacket and flannel nightgown. After a two-week investigation, the death was ruled an accident. But in 2011 the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reopened the death investigation. And in 2012, the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office amended the death certificate, changing the manner of death from an accidental drowning to “drowning and other undetermined factors.” More than six years after the investigation was reopened, 48 HOURS talks with the investigators about the case and new theories as to what happened that night.
