Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives plan to re-interview yacht captain Dennis Davern as part of their re-opened investigation into the death of Natalie Wood, then decide whether it's necessary to interview other principals in the case.
Whether he provides anything new will largely determine how extensive the investigation will be, said a source familiar with the case who did not want to be identified because of its sensitive nature.
"Any new information [from the investigation] will set the course as to whether there is a broader investigation," said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case was ongoing.
The case was re-opened in part because of questions from the media about the circumstances surrounding Wood's death. Some of those questions were prompted by the captain's account of the night, detailed in the book "Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour." His statements are also the centerpiece of a "48 Hours" segment, produced in conjunction with Vanity Fair, scheduled to air Saturday.
The 30th anniversary of Wood's death is Nov. 29.
