This is an exclusive interview with Marilyn Wayne conducted by Sam Peronni. Ms. Wayne was an "earwitness" to Natalie Wood's drowning.




Marilyn Wayne was onboard the sailboat Capricorn with her fiancé John Payne and her son Anthony in 1981, a mere 90 feet from the Splendour the night Natalie Wood drowned, and heard her cries for help. Through the years, Investigators have tried to discredit her story. Former U.S. Assistant Attorney and author Sam Perroni has discovered compelling evidence showing that the Los Angles County Sheriff's Department covered up Robert Wagner's role in Natalie's death, and didn't want to take any chances that Ms. Wayne's revelations might lead to scrutiny of the case that might lead to suspicion of Wagner's story - story full of false exculpatory statements and inconsistencies.




About Sam's Book
Sam Perroni's stunning book; Brainstorm: An Investigation of the Mysterious Death of Film Star Natalie Wood, is an ingenious first-person account of Mr. Perroni’s years long investigation of Natalie’s case as if he were a prosecutor. In fact, he WAS a prosecutor! In doing so, Perroni obtained unseen and confidential original official files, documents, photographs, and information from long-lost witnesses revealing the true circumstances surrounding Natalie’s death. The personal side of what drove and fueled the author to keep investigating when officials tried to shut him out adds a new and unsavory dimension to a persistent mystery.


How Mr. Perroni’s extensive background helped him take a fresh look at reports and discover new witnesses — to reveal never before recognized facts and forensic evidence, inferences and motives pointing to homicide and the only possible suspect — is fascinating. And the red flags that appeared along the way to help him discover a cover-up, orchestrated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and powerful Hollywood insiders during the initial investigation, are glaringly sensational. In exposing an ulterior motive for reopening the case in 2011, Perroni provides an answer to an explosive question: Why weren’t criminal charges filed over Natalie Wood’s death?


Seeking Justice
Why would I take years of my life and spend a small fortune to investigate the death of someone I had only known through movies, television and books? I didn’t need the attention and publicity. I had garnered more than my fair share while actively trying criminal cases. And, I didn’t need something to keep me busy. I had plenty to do.


My answer to your question is openhearted. It was the sheer travesty of it all and my admiration for a woman who had the temerity to want everything a good life consists of—a happy marriage, healthy children and a successful career doing something she was born to do.


What’s more, I believed people like me needed closure. We needed something more than a news conference, sensational sound bites or vague accusations by a spokesman from the Los Angeles County coroner or sheriff’s department. We needed the truth, and if it was possible, we needed justice.
