First Published: January 4, 2012 6:43 PM EST Credit: WireImage LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Caption Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner during Look Magazine Party at Jimmys Restaurant in Beverly Hills, February 14, 1979Natalie Woods death investigation is now a cold case, Access Hollywood has confirmed. Los Angeles Sheriffs Department spokesperson Steve Whitmore said the investigation into the late actress death, which was prompted by new information in Marti Rullis book, Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour, is now in the LASD cold case file and not going anywhere. Whitmore told Access Hollywood he argued against announcing a new probe. He called the reopening of the case in the actress death 30 years ago a one day deal, driven by book publicity. As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, on November 17, 2011, the LASD announced just a little less than two weeks before the 30th anniversary of the actress death that they were reopening the investigation into her drowning. Sheriffs Homicide Investigators were contacted by persons who stated they had additional information about the Natalie Wood Wagner drowning. Due to the additional information, Sheriffs Homicide Bureau has decided to take another look at the case, a LASD release said at the time. Natalies husband at the time of her death, Robert Wagner, was not a suspect, LASD officials said in November. Wagner has denied any wrongdoing. Copyright 2012 by NBC Universal, Inc.
