Doug Bombard told the Daily Mail that “it's a bad idea that Robert [Wagner’s] family has to deal with it again.” A supposed witness, however, also told the Mail for the first time that she heard screaming on that night, and that she tried to report Wood’s “last desperate cries for help.” Police say they have “substantial new evidence” in the case. Wagner, Wood’s widower, maintains that she accidentally fell off the boat.
