Battered Natalie Never Had A Chance!

BEAUTY WAS BEATEN & THROWN OFF YACHT BEFORE TRAGIC DEATH!

Battered Natalie Never Had A Chance!

NATALIE WOOD was beaten to a pulp before she was heaved unconscious into the sea, according to a Los Angeles homicide detective — who has stepped forward to disclose chilling new evidence in the nearly 37-year-old murder mystery!

The finding appears to punch holes in husband Robert Wagner’s version of events on that fatal night — and in a world exclusive interview, the veteran officer goes on the record to discuss what he discovered in the actress’ autopsy report and from photos of her body!

L.A. County Sheriff’s Department Det. Ralph Hernandez said Natalie had been the “victim of an assault” before plunging to a watery death on Nov. 29, 1981 “As soon as we looked at the autopsy report and photos, the bruises on her body just stood out,”

Hernandez told The National ENQUIRER’s Editor-in Chief Dylan Howard, who is narrating a new 12-part podcast investigation titled “Fatal Voyage: The Mysterious Death of Natalie Wood.”

“We have a lot of evidence that tends to point to a very suspicious death and would certainly indicate the possibility of foul play.”

Hernandez’s statement marks the first time that investigators have publicly acknowledged their belief the “West Side Story” beauty was beaten bloody before her lifeless body was discovered.

The explosive “Fatal Voyage” podcast features stunning firsthand accounts from witnesses and investigators who shed new light on the untold story of what really happened between Natalie and Wagner aboard their yacht, Splendour.
