LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Associated Press has withdrawn the 12th and 13th Ld-Writethrus of its story about the Natalie Wood investigation. The story mistakenly quoted Christopher Walken as telling Washington, D.C. sports talk radio station ESPN980 about his recollections from the night that Wood died. An Associated Press reporter mistook what was actually a station employee's impersonation of Walken as a real interview.Must've been one of the really good Walken impressions to fool a crack AP reporter...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Actor Christopher Walken says he went to bed on a yacht he was on with actress Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner 30 years ago and awoke to learn that she had died. Walken tells Washington, D.C. sports talk radio station ESPN980 on Friday that there was drinking and shouting on the boat and that then "there was tragedy."
His comments come as Los Angeles authorities reopened the case of Wood's 1981 death in the waters off Southern California.
A boat captain said Friday that he lied to authorities about the case and that Wood's husband, Wagner, was to blame for her death.
Police said Wagner was not a suspect and that they had new information that warranted a reopening the case.
